Chiropractic Management of Cerebral Palsy: A Case Report
By Tracy A. Barnes, D.C.

A nine-year-old girl with medically diagnosed mild cerebral palsy wore lower extremity twister cable braces for four years. After eight months of chiropractic care, she was discharged by her orthopedic physician. Her braces were removed and she was returned to her normal activities. This patient is an example of how patients with cerebral palsy may benefit from chiropractic management. It has implications for future research into the area of chiropractic and special needs children. (1994 Proceedings)
