The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of chiropractic care on a patient with a moderate traumatic brain injury.
The patient received sacro occipital technique (SOT), specific cranial work and blocking via category two specifications. The patient was also stretched and given exercises to perform at home. Treatment of his temporomandibular joint disorder was part of the care rendered.
