Today's Chiropractic, July-August 2000
By Erin L. Elster, D.C.

INTRODUCTION

One and one half million Americans suffer from Parkinson's disease (PD), more than are afflicted with Multiple Sclerosis and Muscular Dystrophy combined. (1) While PD is generally considered a disease that targets older adults, fifteen percent of patients are diagnosed before age 50. (1)

Parkinson's Disease, a progressive disorder of the central nervous system, results from destruction of the substantia nigra. The substantia nigra's purpose is to signal the basal ganglia (caudate nucleus and putamen) to secrete dopamine. Because dopamine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, it is thought that the lack of dopamine allows the basal ganglia to send continuous excitatory signals to the corticospinal motor control system. Therefore, it is theorized that overexcitation of the motor cortex (due to lack of inhibition) creates typical Parkinson's symptoms such as rigidity (muscle tone increase) and tremors. (1) Current evidence suggests that PD symptoms appear after there has been an 80 percent loss of the dopamine producing cells in the substantia nigra and a similar loss of dopamine synapses with the basal ganglia. (1)

RESULTS

Three-month reevaluations revealed a substantial improvement in subjective and objective findings in six out of the total ten patients, and a mild improvement in two patients..................
Quote:
DISCUSSION

An important parallel in the Parkinson's patients' medical histories was their recollection of head and/or neck trauma(s) prior to the onset of Parkinson's disease.

CONCLUSION

This study revealed the successful outcome of Parkinson's disease patients managed with upper cervical chiropractic care.

Default I would recommend it too.

There are other upper cervical chiropractors that offer similar procedures. Of course, there should never be a promise of a cure but I do know people personally who have benefited. Check out**to find one close to you. The procedure similar to hers would be knee chest upper cervical. There are also other upper cervical chiropractic procedure that you may want to check out called blair, toggle, nucca and orthospinology. If you are in or near Columbus, Ohio or anywhere in Ohio let me know I know some good one there.

Below are a few I know. The first two do the knee chest upper cervical and the last one does a more low force technique. I am not aware of any research that supports one being more superior to the other. The ones I know of and trust the most are. Knee Chest upper cervical specific, Blair, Toggle, and Orthospinoloyg. They should also use an infrared thermography unit ever visit. Some will also use a leg length check.

Helpful tips.
You should not be adjusted every single visist. The goal is to hold adjsutments and alllow you body to function better.

They should check you with the instrument every visit. It is also best to rest after the adjustment.

I would ask for upper cervical only. As some do other things.

If you are wanted to stick to what is closest to what is listed in the paper posted at the start of this discussion then it would be knee chest upper cervical. Hope this helps.
