Chiropractic Care for MS: Does It Work? - 1st Week

By Genevieve Cunningham

Chiropractic care has been known to be a relief for quite a number of ailments. Arthritis, athletic injuries, and bad backs are all a part of the norm. In some instances, chiropractic care may even help with more serious illnesses. While it’s not a cure for serious health conditions, many people who suffer from the debilitating condition of multiple sclerosis have found great relief. Take a look at the ways in which chiropractic care may be an incredible relief for long-time sufferers of this disease.

What is MS?

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, often progressive disease involving damage to the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. It can cause a wide range of unwanted symptoms including pain, numbness, impaired muscular coordination, and chronic fatigue. The symptoms range in severity and frequency depending on the sufferer. The cause is unknown and a cure does not currently exist.

Who Suffers From this Condition?

The instances of MS don’t seem to have much rhyme or reason. Though it’s still considered a rare diagnosis, only affecting around 200,000 people each year, its effects can be devastating. Doctors are still unsure as to the original cause, and so the largest treatment options include managing the symptoms instead of curing the disease.

What Does Science Say?

The truth is that there is very little scientific evidence supporting the use of chiropractic care as a relief for symptoms of MS. Not only has there been little research to back up claims of relief, but there has been little research completed in the first place. That simple fact has not stopped the influx of anecdotal stories about ongoing relief from this sort of care.

What Do Patients Say?

Though scientific research is behind in this area, patients claim a wealth of benefits. Those who suffer from MS most often report a reduction in chronic pain and excessive fatigue. More importantly, even the slightest relief from symptoms improves patients’ outlook on living with a chronic disease.
