PRS Case Study: Chiropractic Care for Fibromyalgia, Headaches, and Crohn’s Disease Using the Pierce Results System

A 38-year-old female presented to the clinic with a history of fibromyalgia, chronic headaches, and Crohn’s disease. Her primary complaint during the initial visit was pain and tension in her neck and upper back, coupled with dizziness and an inability to look to the right. This was unusual for her, as she typically experienced symptoms on the left side. She described her condition as debilitating, significantly limiting her mobility and quality of life, and expressed frustration about managing persistent gastrointestinal pain associated with Crohn’s disease. A thorough examination utilizing the Pierce Results System included thermography scans, motion X-ray analysis, which identified significant misalignments in the cervical spine and thoracic regions, as well as thermal dysregulation, correlating with her reported symptoms and autonomic dysfunction.

The patient began a care plan consisting of specific adjustments guided by motion X-ray findings. Adjustments targeted the cervical spine to address dizziness and restore mobility in her neck, as well as thoracic misalignments to support nervous system function and promote gastrointestinal healing. With each visit, follow-up imaging and assessment ensured that the adjustments were producing measurable improvements in spinal alignment and nervous system performance. Care was provided consistently over several weeks, with emphasis on helping her body adapt and heal without overwhelming the system.

Within one month of care, the patient experienced significant improvements. She reported feeling amazing, with a newfound sense of hope that she no longer had to live with her chronic pain. Her dizziness resolved, and she regained full range of motion in her neck. Remarkably, she had not experienced left-sided gastrointestinal pain since beginning chiropractic care and noticed she was able to tolerate gluten without triggering symptoms. She also reported fewer headaches and a decrease in fibromyalgia-related discomfort. This case highlights the effectiveness of the Pierce Results System in identifying and correcting subluxations, allowing for a profound impact on a patient’s overall well-being and quality of life.
