Improved postural control in a patient having adult spinal deformity and previous thoraco-lumbar scoliosis surgery: a Chiropractic Biophysics® case report.

ABSTRACT: There is evidence indicating patients with spinal deformity have impaired postural control and balance issues. Often, previous surgical intervention excludes the older patient from further invasive procedures leaving them with limited treatment options. The purpose of this case is to report on the clinically significant improvement in postural control as measured by force plate after a multimodal treatment program of Chiropractic Biophysics® (CBP®) posture rehabilitation as well as balance rehabilitation in an elderly patient with long-standing spinal deformity including thoracic hyperkyphosis and a T10-L4 Harrington rod instrumentation for thoracolumbar scoliosis. A 69-year-old female presented with the main complaint of balance and gait impairment as well as back pain and headaches. Bala
