Therapy for Parkinson’s changes West Knoxville man’s life Just a few years ago, Joseph Lessard couldn’t walk. A Parkinson’s disease diagnosis two decades earlier had restricted him to a wheelchair. His New England accent had become a whisper. Lessard had pursued physical therapy to manage his Parkinson’s, but no significant improvements were made. He was taking medications and going to the doctor regularly when he heard about the BIG and LOUD program at the Parkwest Therapy Center. BIG and LOUD are offshoots of the Lee Silverman Voice Training (LSVT) technique that was established in 1987. The four-week programs are meant to combat the limitations Parkinson’s causes in terms of movement and speech. Four times a week, patients spend an hour exaggerating common motions to increase mobility and using speech software to complete vocal exercises. “By the third week, I was up and walking. It was a huge improvement,” Lessard said. “I started with standing up without falling, 4 2015 WEST KNOX MEDICAL FOCUS
then moved to walking and running.” “It changed his whole outlook when he saw that it was working,” Michele Waak, Lessard’s daughter, said. “He had something to look forward to and made him excited to go to his appointments.” Much of the success that can come from the BIG and LOUD program stems from a commitment to doing your homework. “You can’t miss any practices at home,” Lessard said. “You have to do it every day or it won’t work.” Beyond his mobility, Lessard cites a renewed sense of balance as the real treasure of the BIG and LOUD program. “It made me more confident and able to move more steadily, but I also developed a lifestyle that allowed me to enjoy things again,” he said. Lessard no longer comes to the Therapy Center for appointments, but diligently does his exercises each day. He only uses a wheelchair at night. “You can’t be wishy washy,” he said. “You have to dedicate your life to it.”

rofile: Southeastern Retina Associates
SERA, the region’s team for complex retinal disease Patients of Southeastern Retina Associates (SERA) can be assured they are receiving state-of-the-art treatment for diseases of the retina and vitreous. For 35 years, SERA physicians have provided a full spectrum of medical and surgical retinal care and have earned a national reputation for excellence. Physicians at SERA are specially trained surgeons in the field of ophthalmology. In East Tennessee, primary eye care providers often refer patients with complex retinal diseases to SERA. Utilizing over 200 years of accumulated clinical experience, these physicians combine cutting-edge science with attention to detail in order to achieve the best possible outcomes. “We treat advanced and complicated eye diseases that involve the inside of the eye including the retina. The most common diseases we treat are age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, and retinal vascular problems, “said Dr. Stephen Perkins, a vitreo-retinal surgeon with SERA since June 2002. “Less common conditions include macular pucker, macular hole and eye injury,” said Dr. Perkins. Dr. Perkins indicated that over the last decade the use of intraocular injections has become a major advance in the treatment of retinal disease and is a highly successful, relatively painless in-office procedure. Patients typically have a series of monthly treatments. However, the exact number of treatments depends on the particular disease and the individual response to treatment. Since the early 2000s, the use of intraocular injections has accelerated, initially fueled by clinical trials in which SERA participated. Today, intraocular injections have become the first-line of therapy for treating and stabilizing most cases of neovascular age-related macular degeneration as well as many cases of diabetic retinopathy and retinal vascular occlusion. Symptoms that may indicate a retinal problem exists include floaters, blurred vision, waviness, distortion or dark gray spots in the central vision. Patients are usually initially evaluated by their primary eye-care provider and, if appropriate, referred to SERA. SERA physicians do not replace, but instead, work alongside the 6 2015 WEST KNOX MEDICAL FOCUS
patient’s primary eye care provider to deliver specialty care. If you notice any of these potentially concerning symptoms, see your primary eye care provider to help determine if you might have a retinal problem. SERA’s physicians have met the stringent requirements of medical school, internship, ophthalmology residency, vitreo-retinal fellowship and state licensure. All are board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and are members of numerous professional societies, including the American Society of Retina Surgeons and the American Board of Ophthalmology. The 13 member group has central locations in Knoxville, Chattanooga and Tri-Cities. For more information, please visit www.southeasternretina.com.
Did you know? Eye examinations are recommended to identify potential vision problems in their infancy stages. Many eye experts advise that the average person should have an eye exam every one to three years, depending on his or her age. The American Optometric Association says children should have their first eye exam at six months of age. Subsequent exams can take place at age 3, and then when the child is beginning school. If an eye doctor determines a person has a particular condition that requires monitoring, more frequent eye exams will be advised. Children require less frequent eye exams, but as a person gets older, he or she should schedule eye exams every year. Consult with an eye doctor if you have questions on when to schedule an eye examination or if you are experiencing vision problems.
Mary Milner with her father, Orvis Milner
A family’s answer is nothing short of miraculous. After years of in-home care from both family and professional caregivers, the Milner siblings—Mike, Mary and Becky— knew a change was needed for their father, Orvis Milner. Once they learned about Clarity Pointe Knoxville, Mary describes the experience as nothing short of miraculous. The children were grateful for the security, freedom and care they felt while Orvis was a resident at Clarity Pointe. "Dad was right where he needed to be. It was golden."

rofile: The Eye Group
Computer Vision Syndrome People who sit in front of a computer for long periods of time often encounter a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. Headaches, neck strain, backaches and wrist pain are common, but sadly, the most prevalent symptoms of prolonged computer use – eye strain, blurred vision and dry eyes - are often overlooked. Computer Vision Syndrome, also referred to as Digital Eye Strain, describes a group of eye and vision-related problems that result from extended computer, tablet, e-reader and cell phone use. At greatest risk for developing CVS or Digital Eye Strain are those persons who spend two or more continuous hours at a computer or using a digital screen device every day. Accordingly, the level of discomfort appears to increase with the amount of digital screen use. Many of the visual symptoms experienced by users are only temporary and will decline after stopping computer work or use of the digital device. However, some individuals may experience continued reduced visual abilities, such as blurred distance vision, even after stopping work at a computer. If nothing is done
12 2015 WEST KNOX MEDICAL FOCUS
to address the cause of the problem, the symptoms will continue to recur and perhaps worsen with future digital screen use. In most cases, symptoms of CVS or Digital Eye Strain occur because the visual demands of the task exceed the visual abilities of the individual to comfortably perform them. Even if you don't need glasses for driving, reading or other things you do, you still may have a minor vision problem that can be aggravated by computer use. You may need a mild prescription to wear only for use of electronic devices to reduce vision stress. A thorough eye exam every year for computer users is a good idea. If you wear glasses for distance vision, reading, or both, they may not give you the most efficient vision for viewing your computer screen, which is usually about 20 to 30 inches from your eyes. Tell your doctor at The Eye Group about your job tasks and measure your on-the-job seeing distances. You may benefit from one of the new lens designs and non-glare lens treatments made specifically for computer work. Call 966-2020 for an appointment.

Ingredients that help fight inflammation Those outside of the medical profession may consider inflammation a negative thing. However, inflammation is an attempt by the human body to heal itself. Inflammation that does not overstay its welcome can help protect the body from bacterial and viral infections. Inflammation can be poor for health when it is a constant occurrence. Autoimmune diseases often trigger inflammatory responses even when there is no threat of infection, and that can cause the immune system to damage its own tissues. The right diet can help reduce instances of inflammation, and the following are some ingredients to consider eating more of to fight symptoms of inflammation. • Ginger: Researchers at the University of Michigan Medical School found that ginger supplements reduced markers of colon inflammation in a select group of patients. • Turmeric: Used primarily for flavoring, turmeric is a spice closely related to ginger and contains polyphenolic compounds
known to help in the fight against inflammation. • Extra-virgin olive oil: Extra-virgin olive oil is a staple of the Mediterranean diet, an approach to eating that emphasizes fish, fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains. • Vegetables: Men and women who eat lots of different vegetables may be less likely to develop inflammation. • Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids, commonly found in certain types of fish, help suppress cytokines and other inflammatory chemicals. A certain amount of inflammation is a good thing. But men and women who find themselves routinely battling inflammation may want to make certain dietary changes to counter their inflammation problems.

Oral health impacts overall health A healthy mouth is good for more than just a pretty smile. Oral health can affect the entire body, making dental care more than just a cosmetic concern. Many people know that poor oral hygiene can lead to gum disease, tooth decay and even lost teeth. But are you aware that failing to brush or visit the dentist regularly also can lead to more serious health issues? According to Colgate, recent research suggests that there may be an association between oral infections, particularly gum disease, and cardiovascular disease and preterm birth. Gum disease also may make diabetes more difficult to control, since infections may cause insulin resistance and disrupt blood sugar. Your mouth also can serve as an infection source elsewhere in the body. Bacteria from your mouth can enter the bloodstream through infection sites in the gums. If your immune system is healthy, there should not be any adverse effects. However, if your immune system is compromised, these bacteria can flow to other
areas of the body where they can cause infection. Other links have been found between oral health and overall health. In 2010, researchers from New York University who reviewed 20 years of data on the association concluded that there is a link between gum inflammation and Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers in the UK also found a correlation. Analysis showed that a bacterium called “Porphyromonas gingivalis” was present in brains of those with Alzheimer’s disease but not in the samples from the brains of people who did not have Alzheimer’s. The P. gingivalis bacterium is usually associated with chronic gum disease and not dementia. An important step in maintaining good overall health is to include dental care in your list of preventative measures.
