Abstract

Background: A 47-year-old female patient with stage four breast cancer and lymphatic involvement, as well as several secondary physical complaints and psychological stressors, presented for chiropractic care following six sessions of chemotherapy. This was her second bout with cancer, having survived Hodgkins Lymphoma. Intervention: The patient underwent three, five-day courses of concentrated chiropractic care with complementary care modalities, in addition to her oncological treatment plan. Outcomes: The patient was able to achieve full remission of her cancer as well as marked improvements in sleep, mental health, and physical adaptability. Conclusion: This case report provides an impetus for further investigations into chiropractic care and cancer, especially heavy metal toxicity, cancer, and chiropractic care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
