These cases are not miracles or coincidence. This is simply applied science. Chiropractic Neurology is a board-regulated specialty similar to specialties within conventional medicine. Chiropractic College is a five-year training comparable to medical school. To become a Chiropractic Neurologist it takes two additional years of advanced education.
Chiropractic neurologists are trained to treat the nervous system without drugs or surgery. The techniques are developed from discoveries in brain research over the last two decades.
Through comprehensive testing, a Chiropractic Neurologist identifies weaknesses and imbalances within the nervous system. The doctor corrects or diminishes imbalances using selective sensory stimulation: light, sound, chiropractic joint manipulation, and exercise, or by having the patient imagine an action.
Joe had sought help from top medical neurologists in New England. One drug treatment caused seizures every hour. His ysicians were unable to make a diagnosis or render an effective treatment.
When first examined at Active Chiropractic, Joe appeared to be very healthy except for one subtle problem. When his right arm was in certain positions, Joe's right hand would tremble spontaneously. We created a test to see if increased voluntary movement on the left side of Joe' s body would affect the muscles causing the tremor in his right hand. When he was asked to make rapid clenching motions with his left hand, the tremor in his right hand would immediately disappear. Joe was given home exercises to move his left arm and leg rapidly for two minutes every hour.
Two weeks later, Joe reported he felt a seizure coming on. He vigorously moved his left arm and leg, stopping the seizure in its tracks. Joe once averaged six seizures monthly. Now, Joe has only one seizure per month.
In addition, advanced techniques used by a Chiropractic Neurologist can make chiropractic treatments for common conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches more effective.
