Sporadic Desmoid Tumor Mimicking Myofascial Pain Syndrome in a Chiropractic Clinic.

Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers who diagnose and manage various health conditions, including rare cases like desmoid tumors. Desmoid tumors are locally aggressive soft-tissue tumors originating from fibroblasts. This report presents the case of a 30-year-old woman who initially sought chiropractic care for persistent neck pain that was later discovered to be a symptom of a sporadic desmoid tumor.

Non-surgical Restoration of L3/L4 Disc Herniation.

We report the case of a 52-year-old Asian man presenting with severe lower back pain and bilateral radiculopathy due to acute L3/L4 disc extrusion, causing severe spinal canal stenosis and bilateral L4 nerve root compression. Following a ten-week conservative management plan consisting of high-velocity, low-amplitude spinal manipulation, adjunctive therapies, and home exercise, the patient experienced significant pain relief, functional improvement, and near resolution of deficits. A six-month follow-up MRI revealed the resolution of the L3/L4 disc extrusion, and the patient remained asymptomatic at nine months.
