A Case Study
A 55 year old female patient presented to the office with a history of two automobile accidents which had both caused a number of physical symptoms including whiplash, loss of range of motion in her right arm, SI joint pain, shoulder pain, hand pain, parasthesias in the upper and lower extremities, and loss of balance. Complicating the healing process was the onset of depression and suicide attempt after the death of her husband, six years after the second automobile accident.
Torque Release Technique protocols were used to evaluate and adjust spinal subluxations as it provides a low force adjustment. Adjustments were performed twice weekly over the documented seven months of care. Within one month of care, the patient noted a decrease in symptoms and an improvement in her quality of life. Periodic re-evaluations demonstrated an improvement in physical findings as well as improvement in the function of her autonomic and motor systems as documented by thermal and SEMG scanning.
The results of this case study indicate that patients with traumatic brain injury may benefit from including chiropractic care while healing from their physical and emotional stresses.

Of course it's possible she was suffering from PTSD following the MVAs and then her husband dies. Mix the two and.... Was TBI officially recognised in her case by a neurologist, psych or more importantly a neuropsychologist?

Regardless of some other "expert's" opinion this poor woman suffered from significant Physical and emotional causes of Subluxation, which were causing the signs and symptoms documented by this case study.
So is that yes or no? I'm just interested. My wife is a neuropsych. TBI is her bread and butter and is something we often discuss.
I didn't write the paper - you can read it at http://www.torquerelease.com.au/JVSRRyan.pdf
She defines TBI based on the Brain Injury Association of America criteria.
I'm not sure why the "who diagnosed the condition" discussion is relevant as it appears to be based on functional and symptomatic pictures rather than a "gold standard assessment".
