Abstract/Notes

Background: A fit, healthy, regularly adjusted 36-year-old female suffered a pulmonary embolism following a long haul flight from the USA to Australia. Emergency Medical care included intubation and an induced coma before discharge at which point she commenced an intensive regime of Chiropractic care. 

Intervention: Chiropractic care was provided using diversified technique, Thompson and drop piece adjusting techniques following discharge from hospital. This regime of care aligned with the patient’s Chiropractic philosophy. 

Outcome: The patient was fully recovered within three weeks of discharge from hospital, with heart function within normal limits. Given the life-threatening nature of the incident, and the normal recovery time for such patients, we feel this is significant and may provide rationale for further study into Chiropractic care and improved recovery times.
