Objective:
The purpose of this report is to describe the course of chiropractic care for an adult male experiencing persistent anterolateral thigh pain due to bilateral meralgia paresthetica.
Clinical Features:
A 40-year-old male U.S. Veteran was referred to chiropractic care for a two-year history of bilateral anterolateral thigh pain and paresthesia that worsened with inguinal pressure and hip extension activities.
Intervention And Outcomes:
A total of six chiropractic visits, including a combination of telehealth and in-person appointments, took place over a period of 10 weeks. Treatments included patient education, soft-tissue therapy, therapeutic exercise prescription, and spinal manipulation directed toward the lumbar spine. The patient's pain was reduced from a 6/10 rating to a 0/10, he was able to reengage in recreational activities without discomfort, and sustained improvement was reported.
Summary:
In this case, a trial of chiropractic care was associated with a resolution of the patient's bilateral meralgia paresthetica symptoms.
