Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating degenerative neurological disorder that affects young adults. MS primarily affects adults from the ages of 20-40 years old and has increased by 50% since 1991.1 Women are affected by Multiple Sclerosis twice as many times as men are.

Multiple Sclerosis can be very devastating because of the damage caused to the brain and central nervous system (CNS). Viewed by some experts as an autoimmune condition, Multiple Sclerosis turns normal brain tissue and the layer of fatty insulation around nerves into scar tissue.2 This causes symptoms such as:

  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Brain fog
  • Weakness
  • Visual disturbances

New research is showing a link between MS and vitamin D. Multiple Sclerosis patients with lower levels of Vitamin D have a higher susceptibility to MS. The link is not exactly known. Some patients may be genetically disposed to low levels while some may not receive adequate sunshine. Vitamin D has many roles in the body, but, in this case, is linked to the immune system and the relation to the autoimmune condition. By stimulating the immune system, it may help reduce the symptoms naturally.

Natural Relief of Multiple Sclerosis in Kissimmee, FL

Vitamin D cannot cure the disease, and more patients are now seeking natural alternatives. In Kissimmee, Florida Multiple Sclerosis expert Dr. Scott Pancake is helping patients get natural relief from MS. Dr Pancake is an Upper Cervical Chiropractor taking a new approach to Multiple Sclerosis by focusing on the Atlas bone (C1 vertebra). The Atlas bone plays an important role in how the brain and nervous system function. If the Atlas bone is misaligned, it affects how the brain functions which may lead to MS type symptoms.

Clinical studies have shown that, in Multiple Sclerosis patients, a misalignment of the neck can reduce the amount of oxygen the brain gets causing an MS type of reaction.3 In large studies of Multiple Sclerosis patients receiving Upper Cervical Chiropractic care, not only had symptoms improved but many also had remission of MS for long periods of time.4

If you are looking for a natural alternative that can also save money, contact an Upper Cervical Chiropractor.
