From the abstract:
Two case studies demonstrate how the patients
received relief of symptomatology associated with systemic
lupus erythematosis through chiropractic care.
Patient #1 was
a 41-year-old-woman with headache, neck stiffness and low back
pain. Most adjustments were to C2, T4 and L3 and right SI.
Symptoms have decreased tremendously and patient reports a
much lower level of fatigue.
Patient #2 presented a 3 year history
of neck pain, headache and right leg pain. Had been diagnosed
as having SLE five years prior. Examination revealed loss of
sensation in the face, arms and hands, along with vertigo when
rising from a seated to a standing position.
After 14 months
of active care, neck pain, headache and the right leg pain
were reduced to the point of mere residual discomfort.
