RESEARCH
Local Study Shows
Correction of Upper Neck Injury May Reverse Parkinson's Disease
Boulderites show dramatic improvements.
Boulder, CO: A recent study, published
in this month's Today Chiropractic, is the first to show that correction
of upper neck injuries can reverse the progression of Parkinson's
Disease.
This new research was performed in Boulder, CO, by Dr. Erin Elster,
Upper Cervical Chiropractic Specialist, who corrected chronic upper
neck injuries in Parkinson's patients. The correction of those injuries
stimulated a reversal of Parkinson's symptoms in 80% of the study
participants. By aligning the first two upper vertebrate, nerve pathways
traveling between the brain and spinal cord became less obstructed,
helping to improve and/or reverse many Parkinson's symptoms. Patients
with tremors, rigid limbs, and loss of balance were able to regain
motor function to levels of improved and/or normal function. Long-term
benefits will continue to be monitored.
"According to medical research, head and neck injuries have long
been considered a cause of Parkinson's Disease," said Elster.
"But this is the first study to show that correction of those
injuries can have a dramatic effect to reverse Parkinson's.
Upper neck injuries frequently occur during auto or sports accidents
causing whiplash or concussions. Injuries also can occur during minor
accidents, especially sporting incidents and minor falls. Even the
birth process has been shown to cause upper neck misalignments in
newborns. "We need to correct the misconception that neck injuries
can only occur in major accidents and traumas," Elster said.
Parkinson's Disease has gained recent attention due to a number of
celebrities contracting the disease. Most notably, Michael J Fox
resigned form his hit show "Spin City" because of the progression
of Parkinson's. Others include Janet Reno, Billy Graham,
and Muhammad Ali.
By correcting neck injuries, Dr. Elster has achieved similar positive
results in patients with other chronic neurological conditions including
MS, migraines, vertigo, seizures, and ADHD.
