Chiropractic Care for Seizure Disorders

Chiropractic has a long and successful results in patients with epileptic and other seizure related disorders.  Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which the patient has excessive neuronal discharges with an altered or even lost state of consciousness.  Each year, the management of epilepsy costs the United States around $16 billion dollars for testing, medication, and treatments.

A case study published in 2015 followed a young 2 year old child with frequent seizures.  Severe subluxation of the atlas (the bone at the top of the spine in the neck) was found.  After 5.5 months, this patient was completely seizure FREE.  Simple, effective, specific adjustments to remove the nerve interference caused by the subluxation reduced the neuronal discharges sent to the brain.  This particular child also had major improvements in language development and cognitive abilities during the study as well.

Removing the subluxation allows the body to function properly!
