Case Study 1: Recurring vomiting and nausea with no clear medical answer
Symptoms
An adult patient reported vomiting every couple of days for months, along with ongoing nausea. They had already seen a medical doctor and completed testing, but the tests did not identify a cause. The symptoms were disruptive and persistent, and they were looking for a conservative approach after not getting the clarity they hoped for elsewhere.
Diagnosis and Treatment Plan
A specific diagnosis was not stated in the patient’s account. The patient began chiropractic care with Dr. Adam and followed a recommended plan that started at three visits per week. The focus was consistent care and staying on the schedule as recommended.
Results
After one month of care, the patient reported that vomiting had stopped. They shared that nausea continued for a period but improved when they stayed consistent with the suggested care plan. They also noted symptoms tended to return when they missed adjustments.
Case Study 2: Neck, shoulder, and arm pain with headaches and swelling ankles
Symptoms
An adult patient described headaches and pain in the neck, shoulders, and left arm. They also mentioned swollen ankles and other concerns that had not been clearly addressed in prior medical visits. Stress and low energy were part of the overall picture they reported.
Diagnosis and Treatment Plan
The patient reported receiving a nervous system scan that showed a high degree of stress in the neck, and an X-ray that showed a curvature of the spine. They then began ongoing chiropractic care with regular adjustments.
Results
The patient reported improved circulation, less frequent ankle swelling, more energy, healthier-looking skin, and feeling less stressed. They also shared changes they connected to following their chiropractor’s advice, including weight loss and improved tone.
Case Study 3: Chronic migraines with neck, shoulder, and low back pain
Symptoms
A patient came in due to chronic migraines along with neck, shoulder, and lower back pain. They described the symptoms as ongoing and impactful, affecting sleep and overall daily functioning. The combination of head pain and widespread musculoskeletal discomfort was their main reason for seeking care.
Diagnosis and Treatment Plan
A detailed clinical diagnosis was not included in the patient’s written report. They began chiropractic care at the clinic and continued with ongoing adjustments as part of their plan.
Results
The patient reported no longer having chronic migraines and stated the neck, shoulder, and lower back pain had resolved. They also shared that they were sleeping better and walking faster, and expressed the intention to continue with chiropractic care for long-term health support.
Case Study 4: Whiplash injuries after an accident
Symptoms
After an accident, a patient reported whiplash-related injuries to the neck and back, with severely limited movement. They also described pain, headaches, and significant lethargy. They felt unsure about which direction to take after a medical visit that did not provide the improvement options they were hoping for.
Diagnosis and Treatment Plan
The patient reported meeting the doctors during a promotion where areas of pain and tension were identified, leading them to book a full examination. They then began coming in regularly for chiropractic adjustments, typically on a weekly basis.
Results
The patient reported feeling delighted with progress, describing fewer headaches, improved flexibility, and improved overall well-being. They also highlighted feeling personally supported by the doctors and team throughout care.
Case Study 5: Longstanding back issues with later neck and arm pain
Symptoms
A patient shared a long history of back problems since adolescence, followed by neck problems and significant left arm pain later on. They described the symptoms as limiting comfort, posture, energy, and daily function, and they were seeking relief and improved day-to-day quality of life.
Diagnosis and Treatment Plan
A specific diagnosis was not stated in the account. The patient reported participating in ongoing chiropractic care over four months.
Results
After four months of care, the patient reported feeling “reborn,” with improved posture, better sleep, feeling more relaxed, and higher energy. They also described easier mornings and feeling better able to handle stress at work.
Case Study 6: Desk-based work and chronic morning low back pain (1 month)
Symptoms
A software engineer reported spending long hours at a computer desk and experiencing low back pain for almost five years, especially after waking in the morning. They also shared that lifting even moderately heavy items often led to back pain the next day. The discomfort was “bearable” but persistent, and it added stress to daily life.
Diagnosis and Treatment Plan
The patient began chiropractic care and continued for one month. They described the care as time-efficient and non-intrusive, and they noted that improvements were something they could feel and measure.
Results
After one month, the patient reported the low back pain had disappeared. They shared that they could work longer without pain or stress, sleep better, wake without low back pain, and lift objects without triggering symptoms the next day.
Case Study 7: Repetitive strain injury with constant arm pain
Symptoms
A patient reported six months of repetitive strain injury and constant pain in both arms, present 24 hours a day. They described trying multiple providers and approaches without success, and the symptoms were interfering with their ability to work.
Diagnosis and Treatment Plan
A specific diagnosis was not included in the patient’s report. The patient visited Dr. Adam and received a chiropractic adjustment.
Results
The patient reported that the morning after their first adjustment, the arm pain was gone, and they could work again after months of difficulty. They emphasized how meaningful it felt to regain trust in their body after a long period of symptoms.
