Weaver, DC DACNB Integrative Chiropractic Center 1970 N. Broad St., Lansdale, PA 19438 Backround:A healthy 28 year old male with a 4 month history of lower back and unexplained bilateral lower extremity symptoms including: stiffness, aching, and burning, graded 8/10 on a Visual analog scale(VAS). The symptoms could not be explained by MRI, Ultrasound, or blood work. Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) showed a Posterior center of pressure of -2.37 in the Anterior-Posterior Plane. Severe instability 60% stability score, was found with with head extended on a pertubated surface with eyes closed (PECHE). The patient had resting tremor in the upper extremity and Finger tapping test graded a 3 Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). Methods: Somatosensory stimulation, Saccade eye exercises, Tonic Graviceptive roll exercises were performed in office with 13 treatments over 60 days. A home program of saccades and static graviceptive roll exercises were performed 3 times per day. Results: VAS was reduced to 1/10, UPDRS score was normal. Center of pressure was lessen in the posterior plane, becoming -.63. CDP test PECHE score improved to 75% stability. Tremor was observantly less. Conclusion: This author suggest intensive in office with supplemental home program of vestibular rehabilitation can possibly assist in treatment of unexplained lower back and lower extremity stiffness and pain in healthy individuals. Conflict of interest: The author declare that the research conducted was done son in the absence of any financial or other relationships that could be construed as a conflict of interest.
