Abstract:
A 17-year-old female adolescent presented with her mother to our clinic with a two-month history of left-sided chest pain and a one-week history of middle back pain. We diagnosed straight back syndrome based on the chest and thoracic radiographic findings and symptoms of chest pain, palpitations, and dyspnea. We reassured the patient that the disease was benign and advised her to start and continue chiropractic therapy. All symptoms, including back pain, disappeared in three weeks. Straight back syndrome is under-diagnosed, and back pain is less recognized as a symptom of the disease.
