    This study suggests spinal abnormalities may cause subtle vision loss. Spinal manipulation improved visual sensitivity in a patient, indicating potential cerebral effects measurable by computerized static perimetry.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Chiropractic Medicine

    Background:

    • Spinal abnormalities can present with varied symptoms.
    • Subliminal visual field loss is a potential, often undetected, consequence of spinal issues.

    Observation:

    • A 22-year-old male presented with neck pain and normal visual acuity.
    • Computerized static perimetry revealed no deficits in his initial visual field tests.

    Findings:

    • Following a standard spinal manipulation, the patient exhibited a measurable increase in visual sensitivity in both eyes.
    • This suggests a direct correlation between spinal adjustment and visual field enhancement.

    Implications:

    • Computerized static perimetry can serve as a tool to quantify the cerebral effects of spinal manipulation.

  • Further research in chiropractic is warranted to explore the link between spinal health and visual function.
