New Research Shows Positive Effects of Chiropractic for Serious Diseases

By: Dr. Alan Rosenthal

A recent study published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research is the first to show that correction of upper neck injuries is capable of reversing the progression of both Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.

“According to medical research, head and neck injuries have long been considered a contributing factor for the onset of both Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease,” said Dr. Erin Elster, the lead researcher. “But this is the first research to show that correction of those injuries can have a dramatic effect on improving and reversing Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.”

Positive Effects of Chiropractic Wellness Care

The diagnosis of all included an initial MRI on each patient as well as a series of follow up MRI studies four months, one year and two years after beginning Chiropractic wellness care. The results showed that 91% of the Multiple Sclerosis patients and 92% of the Parkinson’s patients had no new lesions and a reduction in intensity of the original lesions. The patients also reported an improvement in quality of life and a reduction of their symptoms and pain.

Treating Subluxations

This research also indicated that any injuries to the neck should be taken care of early in life, especially problems such as trauma to the neck, whiplash and falls. Understand that relieving the immediate neck pain and discomfort does not necessarily fix the underlying problem. It is important to care for the ailment properly by treating the subluxations, including the internal functions. Otherwise, the patient could be more susceptible to Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s later in life.

People who leave subluxations in their neck and back, regardless of whether they feel pain or not, are potentially living with a dangerous time bomb of permanent neurological dysfunction that could be life threatening. Subluxations can be corrected, allowing people to live a healthy life without back pain.
