Case Study #2

This next patient (CB) was injured in a head-on collision.  She was traveling about 30mph, when another vehicle turned in front of her.  The collision resulted in a total loss of this patient's vehicle.  In the collision, the patient (CB) had her left hand on the steering wheel, which resulted in a hyperextension of her wrist - the hyperextension fractured her scaphoid bone (a bone in the wrist).  In addition to the wrist injury, the patient sustained a cervical hyperflexion injury and an atlas (C1) vertebral subluxation complex.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the patient's before and after Thermography and Surface Electromyography (sEMG) scans.  The above-left scan is the 1st thermography scan, note the right-sided asymmetry and below is the follow-up, note the improved symmetry and the fact that all 24-levels are within normal limits.  The above-right scan is the 1st sEMG scan, note the increased (severe) upper left thoracic muscular activity (red spikes); below is the follow-up scan - all but one area in the mid-thoracic spine is within normal limits.  This correction took 4-months due to the severity of the injuries sustained.
