Chiropractic & epilepsy
Sun, 04/24/2005 - 13:11Topic: Complementary Therapies
I don't know if anyone has ran across this...but I had to go to my Chiro the other day, as I pulled my back out. While there, I told him that I was recently diagnosed with EP. He informed me that he couldn't adjut my neck, cause that may cause more seizures. I know my low back pain is coming from my neck, and just don't know what to do! Do I take the chance, relieve the back pain for seizures?? what a horrible toss-up!Also, during sleep I had 3 seizures. I almost could feel the electric charge generate down my spine into the are of my low back. At that point I screamed out, cause the pain was just intolerable.If anyone has experienced anything like this, I sure would like to hear your comments.Warmly,classy1

When I was 10 years old I went to a chiropractor for nine months every week. I heard the medical doctor trying to keep me away from them for it can harm you??????????????????My chiropractor got me seizure free for nine months and off of meds. I went to an amusement park and I had a seizure for my neck got whipped around. I have alot of my tension in my neck which I was told causes my seizures. After I had that seizure as a child I did not want to go back. I went back as an adult but went every month which was not enough. I am going to start with a massage therapist. I went once called a shiatsu. WONDERFUL. It is a chinese chiropractor. I am going back for I think it will help my seizures. YOu decide. I believe in alternatives for I have tried all the medical sides of epilepsy. I do better with them anyway.http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/EpilepsyApproach/Lisa
