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)
