MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Managing Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms with Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care
Living with multiple sclerosis (MS) presents daily challenges. From fatigue and weakness to sensory issues and mobility problems, MS can greatly impact quality of life. While there is currently no cure, emerging research shows upper cervical chiropractic care may help better manage MS symptoms.
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system. It disrupts communication between the brain and body, leading to issues like:
- Fatigue
- Numbness and tingling
- Muscle spasms
- Mobility problems
- Blurred vision
- Cognitive difficulties
MS symptoms vary by person and can change over time. Ongoing nerve damage and the body’s response cause periods of flare-ups alternating with remission.
How Can Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care Help?
Upper cervical chiropractic focuses on the top two vertebrae – the atlas and axis. Gentle adjustments realign these bones, reducing nerve interference. This enhances communication between the brain and body.
Though not a cure, patients report improvement in MS symptoms through upper cervical care:
- Reduced fatigue and increased energy
- Decreased muscle weakness
- Less numbness and tingling
- Improved balance and coordination
- Relief from chronic pain
- Enhanced vision
- Improved bladder control
Overall, many MS patients experience an elevated quality of life and ability to function.
