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.
