I examined the gentleman to discover that he suffered from low back tenderness, a moderate to marked resting tremor on a scale of 3-4/5 where 5 is the worst. He had a postive Rhomberg's test along with several misalignments in his spine at L3-4-5, T8, C1-6

I adjusted his lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spine. Following his first three treatments, his resting tremor diminished to 1/5 and is now only mildly visible on examination and his low back pain diminished to 1/5. He has had one mild recurrence of tremor rated at 2/5, which again diminished to 1/5 after his adjustment where it has remained to this day.

He continues to come in for a series of corrective adjustments and reports that he can now walk much faster, lighter and pain free.
