Ageisia
A remission of anosmia and ageusia following chiropractic
adjustments. Filosa DA R Palmer Research Forum Winter 1988;
4(2):43-45
This is the case of a sixty year old man who had
gone to a chiropractic clinic for lower back pain. During
the examination he revealed that he had lost his senses of
smell and taste 18 months earlier while he was suffering
from a common cold. In addition, he also had an enlarged
prostate and was taking medications for high blood pressure
and diabetes.
He had been under the care of MDs (including an
ENT specialist).
Chiropractic care: An atlas subluxation was
found and he was adjusted using a toggle recoil technique,
T3 and a PI ileum were also adjusted.
Results: Later that evening
the patient reported: “I
don’t know what you did, but this is the first time
I’ve been able to taste and smell anything for the
past year.”
At a six week reexamination, smell and taste
were still intact and his lower back pain had resolved.
