Abstract/Notes

Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the response to the inclusion of celery juice in the diet of an elderly hypertensive patient with neck pain.

Clinical Features: A 74-year-old man presented with neck pain and a history of hypertension as diagnosed by his primary care provider. He had attempted different medications for his hypertension, but he reported that they gave him the side effect of chest discomfort. His initial physical examination blood pressure measurement was 150/80 mmHg.

Intervention and Outcome: Interventions included daily intake of celery juice over 6 months, which was approved by his medical doctor's nurse. For his neck pain, chiropractic grade mobilization to the restricted segments of the cervical spine was given over 14 in-office visits. There were no weight changes, addition of exercise, or other lifestyle changes reported. At the end of his care, his blood pressure measured 118/82 mmHg.

Conclusion: This elderly patient responded positively to the inclusion of celery juice and chiropractic care after 6 months.
