Abstract:

A person's ability to compensate for chronic disease processes may allow that patient to lead a relatively asymptomatic existence in spite of the chronic disease state. A small additional stress may cause a breakdown of these compensatory mechanisms; the “straw that broke the camel's back“. This case was chosen to illustrate the attemptto restore the patient's ability to compensate for their chronic disease. It also demonstrates the efficacy of focused and carefully applied thrust mobilization in a frail patient.
