Abstract/Notes

Narrative: Parkinson’s Disease is more common in the elderly and prevalence rises from 1% in those over 60 years of age to 4% of the population over 80. The mean age of onset is around 60 years and the disease is attributed to selective loss of neurons in the substantia nigra. 

Increased homocysteine levels seem associated with PD and have also been found related to inflammatory bowel disease, for which colonoscopy may be required with its risk of bowel perforation, as occurred with this patient. She required surgical resection for a perforation of the colon after which her examination findings revealed a patient who had deteriorated significantly from her last office visit. 

Soft Tissue Orthopedics was the main therapeutic approach in the Chiropractor’s office including temporal sphenoidal (TS) diagnosis, extremity and cranial-dural-sacral assessment, nutritional therapy, proprioceptor disruption reflex points. A complete package of care was provided and at last treatment she was found to be strong, stable, with significant balance and stability, and only a slightly noticeable tremor in her left ankle.
