She had neck pain, low back pain, knee pain, and pain associated with over 20 surgeries, as well as depression, opioid dependence, and low quality of life. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: The patient was treated with chiropractic manipulation for her low back and neck pain and was counseled on nutrition and exercise. After 6 months, she reported improvements in pain, improved quality of life, and discontinuation of opioid pain medication. CONCLUSION: This patient improved after a course of chiropractic care that was integrated into a federally qualified health center.
