OBJECTIVE: To chronicle the remission of anosmia in a 79-year-old female receiving chiropractic care using the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique (AMCT) protocol.

CLINICAL FEATURES: A 79-year-old white female with a 4-year history of medically diagnosed anosmia. Postural alterations, reduction in cervical ranges of motion (ROM), and absent cranial nerve I function were found in conjunction with vertebral subluxation throughout the spine and mild to severe degenerative changes throughout the spine present on radiographic studies.

INTERVENTION & OUTCOMES: Chiropractic care using AMCT was provided for the assessment and correction of vertebral subluxations. The patient reported subjective improvement in olfaction, physical functioning and life enjoyment, and demonstrated objective improvement in posture, cervical ROM, cranial nerve I function.

CONCLUSION: A course of chiropractic care, following the AMCT protocol, was associated with remission of anosmia.
