[Purpose] To present the case of the dramatic relief of low back pain, leg pain and disability in an older female with osteoarthritis, lumbar spinal stenosis and hypolordosis of the cervical and lumbar spine. [Participant and Methods] A 66-year-old female presented with chronic low back pain, right leg pain, numbness and weakness. Despite being recommended for surgery, the patient sought alternative treatment. The patient was treated with Chiropractic BioPhysics ® rehabilitation of the spine with the objective to increase the lumbar and cervical lordoses. Cervical and lumbar extension exercises and traction were performed as well as spinal manipulation. Treatment was performed approximately three times per week for 6.5 months. [Results] Re-assessment after treatment demonstrated significant reduction of low back pain, leg pain and other health improvements. X-rays showed structural improvements in the cervical and lumbar spine despite advanced osteoarthritis. [Conclusion] Lumbar and cervical hypolordosis subluxation may be increased in those with spinal deformity caused symptoms, despite the presence of osteoarthritis and degenerative stenosis of the spine. Spinal x-rays as used in the assessment and monitoring of patients being treated with contemporary spinal rehabilitation methods are not harmful and should be used for routine screening purposes.
