Ehlers Danlos hypermobility type affects a number of systems resulting in a range of symptoms: pain (muscular, articular, neuropathic, back pain, neck pain, abdominal pain, pelvic pain, and headache) and fatigue (muscle weakness, unrefreshing sleep, depression, anxiety, etc.).

Ehlers Danlos treated with chiropractic responds positively. One patient case Old Mill Chiropractic read in a peer-reviewed journal highlights a young Ehlers Danlos female with chronic neck pain and low back pain who also experiences headaches and hand pain and stiffness. As is seen in Ehlers Danlos, she too faces weekly or daily joint dislocations and upper and lower extremity joint hypermobility. St Peters Ehlers Danlos hypermobility type patients know what this is like and appreciate relief. In this case, chiropractic low force manipulation and soft tissue therapy were part of her overall treatment plan. A variety of patient outcome scales detail reductions in disability, headache and spine pain for her.
