Case help

[Guest guest]

, I'm assuming you are referring to dysphonia. I've seen two cases

of this in which the patient has a partial loss of control of the vocal

muscles and the voice goes into a sort of shaky falsetto, sometimes

intermittently and sometimes constant. This first was twenty some years

ago. The patient did fairly well with specific upper cervical

adjustments. Unfortunately, I left the office I was in and lost track

of the patient so I was unable to follow through with his status. The

second was about two or three years ago, and he was very inconsistent

with getting adjusted. His voice would go falsetto, but he could sing

in a normal voice. He ultimately submitted to periodic injections of a

mild drug that created a state of partial paralysis of the vocal muscles

and ultimately it cleared up.

If you're interested I can get the name of the Dr. who applied the tx.

Dear group,

I had a lady today ask me about a condition called Muscle Tension

Dysphnia. Her symptoms are that of varying degrees of speech loss

apparently from abnormal function of the vocal

cords due to msl tension. Was diagnosed at OHSU after a year of

tests with an eent. She stated OHSU DR said only 30 cases in Oregon,

cause unknown, no known treatment.

The patient says a friend of a friend had this condition, cured by a

chiro, and that an article was published in a chiro journal.

Any info, ever heard of this?

I suggest Noel in Lake O. His former office mate, Sally Lamont, N.D.'s husband battled Non-Hodgkins lymphoma for 13 years. Noel is a big dog with regard to cancer. BTW: he recently developed a cream which prevents superficial burns associated with radiation therapy.

I think MItch (ND and LAc), and Lori Beth Stargrove, ND, are good options. I also think Rick elli, ND would do a good job, as well as Ken (or is it ) , ND in Hillsoboro.
