Abstract:

A 77-year-old Caucasian male patient with Parkinson disease was diagnosed with Larson syndrome. Somatic dysfunctions and associated autonomic nerve dysfunctions were noted primarilyin the patient’s right upper thorax. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT ) was performed using cranial, facilitated positional release, balanced ligamentous tension, myofascial release, coming of the diaphragm, and rib-raising techniques to normalize autonomic nervous system balance. Three sessions of OMT resolved the patient’s symptoms of right upper back pain, right frontal headaches, diaphoresis, regional hyperhidrosis, weaknessto the right upper and bilateral lower extremities, and difficulty sleeping.
