BackgroundChronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a general term used to describe a number of medical conditions that lead to persistent levels of fatigue and distress.ObjectivesOsteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) combined with shoulder exercises to resolve musculoskeletal sports injury may have also led to a reduction in pain and improved strength with the patient reporting a change in CFS levels.Clinical features19-year-old male student, (statue 194cm and mass 80kg) who had played county level cricket and hockey. Presented with a two-year history of left shoulder pain (VAS 8/10) and a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome.Intervention and outcomesOMT was performed over four clinical visits throughout a four a month period. Management goal was pain reduction, neural regulation, and facilitation of breathing mechanics to improve lymphatic drainage and restoration of shoulder strength and control.ConclusionClinically a reduction in pain (VAS 8/10–0/10) over four treatments appeared to correlate with improved shoulder strength. It was also reported that due to pain reduction, CFS might have improved.
