MS and Chiropractic Treatments



MS and Parkinson's Symptoms Reversed:Chiropractic Treatment:www.backtrouble.co.uk/

A recent study was the first to reveal that correction of upper neck injuries might help improve or even reverse the progression of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson's disease (PD).


A study evaluated the data from 44 MS patients and 37 PD patients who received treatment over a five-year period.

Results of Treating Upper Neck Injuries in 81 Patients:


91 percent of MS patients showed improvement
92 percent of PD patients showed improvement


These findings led researchers to believe the correction of neck injuries could activate a reversal of MS and PD symptoms. For a long time, head and neck injuries have been thought of as contributing factors to the development of MS and PD. These results are the first to confirm the relationship between the two.

When Neck Injuries are Left Untreated:


Upper neck injuries usually occur as the result of accidents in which the individual sustains a sudden hit to the head. Examples of this include experiencing whiplash or a concussion from a car accident. Symptoms of MS and PD could surface in months, years or even decades following the accident. Often, the individual doesn't even realise the extent of the injury they sustained.


Experts suggested putting some of the funding dedicated to MS and Parkinson's research toward research on chiropractic treatments.
