Neurological Disorders
Affecting the Back and Head: The Role of Chiropractic Care
Neurological disorders are diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. These disorders include epilepsy, Alzheimer disease, and cerebrovascular diseases including stroke, migraine, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders stemming from malnutrition.
What Are Neurological Disorders of the Back and Head?
Neurological disorders affecting the back and head involve issues related to the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Common conditions include:-
Cervicogenic Headaches: Often caused by misalignments in the cervical spine or tension in the neck muscles.
-
Sciatica: Nerve pain originating in the lower back and radiating to the legs.
-
Herniated Discs: Spinal discs pressing on nearby nerves, causing pain and numbness.
-
Chronic Migraines: Persistent headaches potentially linked to nerve dysfunction.
Why Consider
Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care focuses on optimizing the spine and nervous system, addressing the root cause of many neurological disorders rather than merely treating symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments restore alignment, improving nerve function and reducing inflammation.
Neurological Conditions We Treat
At our clinic, we support individuals experiencing various neurological conditions, particularly where musculoskeletal or nerve-related factors may play a role in physical symptoms. While chiropractic care does not treat brain diseases or degenerative brain disease directly, it may help manage associated discomfort and promote functional mobility.
Parkinsonian symptoms
Supportive care for muscle stiffness, postural imbalances, and limited joint mobility commonly seen in individuals with Parkinsonian features.
Multiple sclerosis-related fatigue or imbalance
Chiropractic adjustments may assist with spinal mobility and alignment, potentially improving balance and helping manage fatigue.
Chronic migraines
Evaluation of cervical spine alignment and muscular tension that may contribute to persistent headaches or migraines.
Vertigo and dizziness
Assessment of the neck and upper spine for possible mechanical causes influencing balance and orientation.
Neuropathy and tingling
Care strategies aimed at relieving pressure on nerves that may lead to sensations of numbness or tingling in the limbs.
Sciatica
Addressing lower back or disc-related issues that may be causing radiating nerve pain down the leg.
Early cognitive decline and brain fog
While not a direct treatment for degenerative brain disease, care may help improve posture and reduce tension, potentially supporting clarity and focus.
Each case is individually assessed to determine suitability. Chiropractic care may be considered as part of a broader plan to manage neurological symptoms, especially when physical or mechanical factors are involved.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Spinal adjustments reduce nerve compression, alleviating pain in the back and head.
Restoring proper spinal alignment enhances flexibility and movement.
Chiropractic offers a natural alternative, minimizing reliance on painkillers.
By relieving tension in the spine, chiropractic care helps decrease overall stress on the nervous system.
Proper alignment allows the nervous system to function optimally, improving overall well-being.
Chiropractic Care for Neurological Disorders
Correct misalignments to relieve nerve irritation.
Reduce muscle tension and promote blood flow.
Address herniated discs and decompress the spine.
Improve posture and strengthen supportive muscles.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Neurological Healing
Chiropractic care may play a supportive role in managing certain aspects of neurological health by addressing the spine-brain connection and facilitating better brain-body communication. While it is not a treatment for neurological disorders themselves, chiropractic adjustments may help how the nervous system functions by influencing spinal alignment, nerve signalling, and proprioceptive input.
Activating Dormant Neural Pathways
Through consistent spinal stimulation and movement-based care, chiropractic adjustments may help engage underutilised neural circuits. This process is often linked to the concept of neuroplasticity, where the brain can adapt and reorganise in response to new input or physical changes.
Enhancing Proprioceptive Feedback
Proper joint function and alignment can affect the body's ability to sense position, movement, and spatial orientation. Improving proprioceptive feedback may contribute to better motor coordination and balance, particularly in patients with neurological or sensory-motor deficits.
Balancing the Autonomic Nervous System
Chiropractic care may support regulation between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) branches of the autonomic nervous system. In some cases, this balance may aid in stress reduction and recovery support.
Complementing Neurological Rehabilitation
Chiropractic treatment is sometimes incorporated as part of a broader neurological management plan. When aligned with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or medical care, it may contribute to improving posture, relieving musculoskeletal tension, and supporting overall physical function.
By focusing on the spine-brain connection, chiropractic care aims to maintain conditions that support neurological adaptation and functional movement. Suitability depends on individual needs and should be evaluated as part of a coordinated care approach.
Why Chiropractic Is Safe for All
Chiropractic care is a holistic approach suitable for individuals of all ages, from children to the elderly. Licensed chiropractors undergo extensive training to ensure their techniques are both effective and safe. Moreover, chiropractic adjustments are non-invasive, meaning there are no surgical risks or significant downtime. For those with neurological disorders, chiropractic care offers targeted relief without the side effects associated with pharmaceuticals.
