Seizures can have a negative effect on many different aspects of a person's life. It can affect a person's ability to drive, to be in certain lighting, and to enjoy various forms of entertainment. Often, seizures are accompanied by a loss of time, and they can even cause other dangers depending on the situation a person finds themselves in when a seizure occurs. Because of this there are many different medical treatments available for the control of seizures and epilepsy. Most of these treatments involve the use of pharmaceutical drugs that can have many and varied side effects. Is there any way to attain natural and drug-free relief from seizures? Upper cervical chiropractic may be able to help. Keep reading to learn more.
The causes of seizures are many and varied. Often, injuries to the head and upper neck are involved. This is where upper cervical chiropractic comes in. Rather than treating the seizures themselves, which are merely a symptom of the injury, upper cervical chiropractic treats the subluxation (or misalignment) of the C1 and C2 vertebrae. What problems are caused when these vertebrae are misaligned?
Upper neck injuries can cause problems with the central nervous system. This is because the C1 and C2 vertebrae are positioned right at the base of the brain stem where it meets the spinal cord. Injuries can thus cause communication issues throughout the body. The physical manifestations can be anything from headaches to immune system problems. Seizures are also included in the list of possible complications of this type of injury.
A number of documented studies show that seizures can become less common or even stop completely when the sufferer receives upper cervical chiropractic care. This is because the underlying injuries are being treated. Such head and neck injuries may have occurred as early as birth. Other times the injuries occur later such as in an automobile accident.
