WOMAN STRUCK BY CAR HELPED BY CHIROPRACTIC

On May 13, 2025, the Journal of Contemporary Chiropractic published the results of a case of a woman who was suffering with a variety of physical and functional health issues stemming from being hit by a car years earlier when she was a child.

The study begins by point out that pedestrians being hit by cars is a growing issue. They state, “Traffic-related pedestrian injuries are a growing public health threat worldwide. In 2024, the global economic burden of pedestrian and motor vehicle collisions involving both fatal and non-fatal crash injuries was estimated to approximate USD$1.8 trillion.”

The authors also point out that this problem is increasing in the United States. “In the United States, children aged 0-15 years experience the highest rate of non-fatal injuries.” They note that children 15 years or younger, “…account for 30% of all pedestrian injuries and 8% of all pedestrian deaths.”

In this case, a 26-yr-old woman was referred by her co-worker to the chiropractor. The woman was suffering with left leg dysfunction resulting in an impairment to the way she walked. Because of her left leg issue, the woman was wearing a left leg brace that ran from the back of her knee to her foot.

Additionally, she was also suffering with urinary incontinence. The woman explained that she felt like she needed to urinate every 12-15 minutes both day and night. She noted that to avoid wearing adult diapers, her activities were very limited to areas where she had quick access to a bathroom.

The woman’s history revealed that at age 4, she was running across a street when she was hit by a motor vehicle. She recalled having been dragged approximately one block with the car tires rolling over her legs and lower body. As a result, she was comatose for 8 days having suffered multiple head injuries. Following her initial hospitalization, she received ongoing physical therapy at a local Children’s Hospital. At age 18, she was told that she would have to deal with these issues for the rest of her life.

A chiropractic examination and x-rays revealed significant pelvic misalignment with the conclusion of subluxation of her pelvis and adjacent structures. Specific forms of chiropractic adjustments were then started. To evaluate the change after the first adjustments, the woman was instructed to stand on her feet and walk a few steps. The woman’s gait had immediately changed, and she could walk more normally. Seeing these changes, the woman became emotional and began to cry.

After her first chiropractic visit, the woman no longer needed to use her leg brace. Two weeks after starting chiropractic, the woman also reported that her urinary problems had improved. She now only needed to go to the restroom every 2-3 hours. Because her walking and urinary issues were both dramatically improved, the woman reported an improved quality of life.
