Alternative Treatments, Chiropractic Care

Pin
Chiropractics is a form of treatment that focuses mostly on the musculoskeletal system. Treatments, which are often called adjustments, often involve hands-on manipulation of the spine or other joints. Sometimes a chiropractor can use other instruments during manipulations as well. Usually people will visit a chiropractor when they are suffering from back pain, neck pain, headache or after a trauma or injury.
Individuals who have Multiple Sclerosis often seek out treatment from complementary treatment providers, and chiropractors are included in that list. There are several ways that chiropractic care can help individuals with MS to feel better. It can help with specific areas of the body that are being affected by symptoms. As well as helping to correct any misalignment in the cervical spine.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care

When an individual with MS seeks out treatment from a chiropractor for symptom management, they can be helped a number of ways. For example, if someone is experiencing issues with foot drop, a chiropractor can help with adjustments to the hip and ankle. If someone is experiencing issues with low back pain or muscle tightness in a specific area, getting an adjustment may help these symptoms as well. Many individuals have also noticed a decrease in pain, fatigue, spasticity and an increase in range of motion of joints. Obviously a chiropractor cannot reverse any damage that is done to nerves. However, through manipulation of your body they can help to improve gait issues, how your muscles move, balance and strength.

 Cervical Spine Subluxations

There is a theory that many MS symptoms, and disease onset, can be related to upper cervical trauma and subluxation. What that means: if you had an injury to the head, neck or cervical spine, such as whiplash, your cervical spine might be misaligned. Subluxation is a slight misalignment of a joint, not a full dislocation, so you are still able to function normally. You might not experience symptoms and might not know this exists for you. There have been several studies that have shown that individuals with both subluxation, as well as MS have been able to experience significant improvement of symptoms when they had adjustments made to their cervical spine. The reason for this is fairly simple. Nerve pathways are not disrupted when the cervical spine is aligned properly.

Research Data

In one study, the use of chiropractic care to correct upper cervical injuries showed favorable improvement. The researchers gathered data over a five-year period from 44 MS patients. They found that 91% of them showed a decrease in their symptoms. In the same study, researchers also followed 37 patients with Parkinson’s disease who showed the same upper cervical misalignment, and 92% of Parkinson’s patients reported improvement and no further disease progression.
Chiropractic care is a cost-effective and potentially very beneficial treatment for individuals with MS. It can help with a wide variety of symptoms and has the potential to improve quality of life dramatically.

I’M ALISSA!

I help women who have also been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis make specific and personalized diet, lifestyle & subconscious changes so that they can begin to heal their body, reduce disease symptoms, and return to a life they love.hey there,

Autoimmune Protocol, 101

follow along on Instagram:

This is how I slowly helped myself the most:
Making small changes to my life,
* Intentional awareness to my morning
* Noticing when I’m being mean to myself
* Noticing when I’m reactive or in a state of fight or flight..

Some “small” ideas for you too:
* don’t grab your phone first thing in the morning, take some deep breaths, think about how you want your day to go
* drink an extra glass of water (bonus if it’s in the morning too)
* get up and move every hour
* say something nice to yourself when you catch yourself being mean
* step outside for a few minutes a few times a day

Small changes add up to big steps forward,
don’t get fooled by these not being “enough”,
they absolutely are.

Wanna hear more about how Ive helped myself and my clients to lessen our MS symptoms so we feel better in our bodies?

I detail it in my chapter in Resilience Redefined.. comment “Book” and I’ll send you the link!!

You don’t always have to love the hard action you’re taking to reach your goals.

You just have to show up.

You can do this… keep going 🧡🧡

*after discerning there’s no *actual* issue (pain, injury, illness etc) preventing me from working out, only that I’m a toddler and don’t wanna.

Struggling to start with exercise?

Try this tip!!

Creating a new habit (any of them) necessitate us to become someone new, someone different than we were.

Because we’re trying to do something different after all.

This is gentle way of starting that identity shift process.

Become who you want to be in your mind first.

Does this help?
What other habits do you need help with? Let me know in the comments!!

It’s only fitting that I announce my 2nd book (along with 7 other authors) on my 14 year anniversary with MS.

This is a book that I would have loved to read early on in my journey.
It’s about how we moved through our diagnosis and came out the other side for the better.

““Resilience Redefined” is not just a collection of stories; it is a call to action. The authors challenge those living with an autoimmune disease to not only survive but to thrive”

So… drumroll please…
Pre orders are officially open!!

This is obvs one option of many on how to help yourself through these moments.

But when you’re stuck in negative worrying, don’t forget there can be a positive outcome too!

This is rewiring your brain in action.

You notice you’re doing something you always did,
Then do something different.

And boom! A new pathway is born.

It needs some love and attention to grow,
so keep practicing!

There’s so much buzz about everything needing to feel good if it’s right for you.

Sure, there’s a time and a place for alignment.

But, growth often happens in the uncomfortable moments.

Just a reminder.
Keep going.
