Chiropractic Neurology for MS
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that attacks the tissues that insulate a nerve. The insulation makes the signals faster. Without the insulation, the nerves cannot be as fast. Chiropractic neurology has been shown to be effective in supporting patients with multiple sclerosis. Sensory stimulation of dysfunctional areas, as well as chiropractic adjustments help to reconnect the brain to the body through neuroplasticity.
Understanding MS
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system starts to attack the myelin sheath. The damage primarily damages the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, as well as the eyes. This leads to poor communication between the brain and the body. Problems that commonly occur in this condition are pain, fatigue, weakness, and vision loss. Low Vitamin D levels have been linked to a higher risk of developing MS. Care using Chiropracitc Neurology commonly helps with mobility. Our patients report that they are better able to work and care for their families when under care.
Why Symptoms Can Continue
The immune system continues to mistakenly attack the nervous system. The damage leads to inflammation and scar tissues formation on the nerves. It is a lifelong condition with common cycles of relapse and remission. Patients will have fewer issues when they strictly modify lifestyle factors that are associated with weakening the immune system.
How Chiropractic Neurology Care May Help
By stimulating neuroplasticity, the body will work to maintain and build new connections. This constant support of the nervous system will help to support mobility and reduce inflammation.
