Abstract:
Objective: To illustrate the exploratory trial of therapy administered to a complaint of severe hard palate pain presenting to an outpatient chiropractic clinic, and the clinical agenda associated with the exhibited case. Clinical Features: A 76-year-old male presented with a 2-year history of hard palate pain centering just posteriorly to the left lateral incisor following an insidious onset. Upon examination, the pain was postulated to be of a neurologic nature; giving rise to a more nerve-related quality. The patient was previously seen by many healthcare providers regarding the complaint and subsequently presented to a chiropractic clinic for an impending trial of care. After developing a therapeutic framework based off the compiled evidence, a management plan was carried out for a total of 5 weeks.
