Not exactly a spinal condition, but Ehlers Danlos is a body condition that may affect the spine and musculoskeletal system and be helped by gentle La Grande chiropractic treatment. Chiropractors who are back pain specialists like your La Grande chiropractor at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC certainly approach conditions like Ehlers Danlos conservatively and gently. Chiropractors also cooperatively care for these patients with any other medical healthcare providers and their treatment plans for the well-being of the patient. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC welcomes such opportunities to help La Grande Ehlers Danlos patients like this.

Ehlers Danlos hypermobility type affects a number of systems resulting in a range of symptoms: pain (muscular, articular, neuropathic, back pain, neck pain, abdominal pain, pelvic pain, and headache) and fatigue (muscle weakness, unrefreshing sleep, depression, anxiety, etc.). (1)  Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC recognizes Ehlers Danlos by such symptom combinations.

Ehlers Danlos treated with chiropractic does well. One patient case Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC read in a peer-reviewed journal features a young Ehlers Danlos female who suffers with chronic neck pain and low back pain who also experiences headaches and hand pain and stiffness. As is seen in Ehlers Danlos, she too faces weekly or daily joint dislocations and upper and lower extremity joint hypermobility. La Grande Ehlers Danlos hypermobility type patients realize what this is like and welcome relief. In this case, chiropractic low force manipulation and soft tissue therapy were part of her overall treatment plan. A variety of patient outcome scales record reductions in disability, headache and spine pain for her. (2) Another case of Ehlers Danlos - with some of the typically noted issues had previously been diagnosed inadequately with fibromyalgia and degenerative arthritis before the more proper Ehlers Danlos diagnosis – explains how she experiences relief of back pain with gentle Cox Technic flexion distraction, diet change, and exercise care. (3)  Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC shares gentle La Grande chiropractic care for relief like this.
