Epilepsy Disappears with Chiropractic

Epilepsy disappears with chiropractic. The journal “Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research” published an article on August 1, 2016, about the research of a documented case of a patient being helped with epileptic seizures by a chiropractor in Mataró.

The study defines epilepsy stating, “Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked epileptic seizures.” When describing the mechanism of seizures, the authors of the study noted that seizures are an abnormal and unregulated electrical discharge that occurs within the gray matter of the brain and interrupts the normal function of the brain.

The researchers reported that between 8 and 10% of the population will experience a single seizure at some point in their lives, and 3% may develop epilepsy.

In conventional medicine, seizures are generally treated with a variety of drugs. However, approximately 30% of treated patients do not have their disorder adequately managed by medications.

Those who can gain some control with their medication are relegated to accepting any side effects of the drug and must take medications for the rest of their lives.

For this reason, many patients have sought alternative medical care, such as chiropractic. The case subject of the study published in the aforementioned journal is that of a 23-year-old woman suffering from epileptic seizures who sought the alternative of Chiropractic.

She had been suffering from seizures since she was 21 years old. Since the seizures appeared, their frequency increased from twice a month to twice a week. Her history notes that during the first year of her epilepsy diagnosis, she had lost 25 kg of weight and developed depression, anxiety, migraines, allergies, severe fatigue, and memory loss.

She was also given medications for these conditions. Even after being prescribed a high dose of medication for epilepsy, she continued to have 2 seizures per week. A chiropractic examination was performed, including a physical exam, postural analysis, palpation, and x-rays of the upper cervical vertebrae. The diagnosis reached from her examination was that the epilepsy was localized in the temporal lobe, she had an abnormal posture, and chronic subluxations in the cervical, thoracic, and pelvic regions.

The patient subject of the study began her chiropractic care in Mataró with three visits per week, including specific adjustments to the detected subluxations. Two months after chiropractic care, the patient reported that she had complete relief from her anxiety and depression. She also reported feeling overall improvement and began to eliminate her medications.

Her improvement continued over the next few months. A new evaluation was performed at six months, the woman stopped suffering from epileptic seizures and also stopped taking medications. Source:www.nowyouknow.net
