Can Neurology Providers Broaden the Scope of their Treatment Team by Adding Chiropractic Care?
Neurology — the study and treatment of nerves and the nervous system — is complementary to the practice of chiropractic care. That brings the question of whether an alternative form of care, like functional chiropractic, can enhance the overall treatment plan for patients suffering from traumatic brain injury, disorders of balance, and problems with the neck and spine.
Chiropractic care can be used in addition to (or sometimes even in place of) medications for ailments like migraines, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease. At Amazing Life Chiropractic and Wellness, in Mill Creek, WA, we specialize in working collaboratively with specialists to provide a holistic overall program for their patients.
Can Chiropractic Care Be a Valuable Addition to Your Care Team?
Chiropractic practitioners specialize in spine, nerves, and nervous system issues with a non-invasive, gentle approach where the need for medications can often be significantly reduced. Our thorough lifestyle evaluation techniques isolate and identify changes in body mechanics, nutrition, and exercise that improve the patient’s recovery and overall life experience.
As an alternative treatment option, chiropractic care has been shown to ease pain in patients with nerve damage as well as successfully treat brain injury patients experiencing balance and vestibular problems. They can also be very successful in the treatment of Post-Concussion Syndrome as a longer-term solution to this type of head injury.
For chiropractic care and neurology, a natural partnership makes infinite sense. Their hands-on approach to gentle manipulation and holistic healing coupled with a neurologist’s commitment to treating diseases of the entire nervous system while improving patients’ lives, defines a bridged relationship that would bolster patient care.
Ways to Integrate Chiropractic Care into Your Neurology Practice
Chiropractic is a focused approach that can expand your treatment team’s effectiveness in these ways:
- Chiropractic care can relieve the pain and inflammation experienced by many neurology patients presenting with head injuries and spine/nerve damage. This non-invasive treatment can reduce the need for medications in many patients.
- Chiropractic care can be a beneficial way to address balance problems where other options have not been successful. For example, vertigo and vestibular issues respond positively to gentle chiropractic manipulation and massage.
- Chronic or episodic diseases, like Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, respond well to chiropractic care and an in-depth focus on lifestyle changes can continue the improvements for an enhanced quality of life in the long term.
