Chiropractic Can Help With Tremors

(Source: Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research)
One of the early signs of neurological disease are tremors, which is defined as "an involuntary, rhythmic muscle contraction leading to shaking movements in one of more parts of the body."  While this most commonly affects the hands, it can also affect the arms, eye lids, vocal cords, torso and legs.  We've seen many patients get positive results with many different types of tremors, with many resolving completely or lessening in severity. (See links below for published case studies).  As specific chiropractic care improves the function of muscles, this effect is not surprising.  This symptom is often treated with medication, which is rarely effective and can have long-term toxic effects.  According to one review, "... medications rarely reduce the tremor to asymptomatic levels and they are often associated with troublesome side effects (eg., drowsiness, depression), so that many patients decide to discontinue them."  Fortunately, we can also help with this often debilitating and life-altering problem.  It's important to note that the nervous system takes longer to heal than any part of the body, so sustained improvement generally requires consistent care for at least 4-6 months.  As neurological problems are rising worldwide, there is fortunately a non-toxic and likely more effective option, helping you to naturally regain control of your body and your life.
