Spine Connection

Your spine may play a role in seizure activity. About 80 percent of the brain’s function is derived from the input it received from your environment through your perception and physical senses. This information is translated to your nerve system to your spinal cord that traverses up your back to your brain.

Your brain in turn acts as the super computer to orchestrate your response to all of that input. However, when there is problem with how this is processed in the brain, congestion of information in the spinal cord, or an over stimulation resulting in barrage of electrical impulses; the result can be a seizure.

In particular the top two vertebrae of the spine (C1 and C2) have demonstrated the most influence on seizure activity when there is an abnormal alignment present.

The reason being is that they are situated around the bottom of the brain stem and top of the spinal cord where all electrical impulses going to and from brain have to pass through. What’s more is that these vertebrae have a direct physical connection to these nerve tissues.

So when there is an incorrect alignment the processing of all of the electrical impulses can become congested and unorganized potentially resulting many different neurological symptoms such as seizures. It is also important to understand that this scenario can be present with or without neck pain.

Correcting the Problem

Anyone who suffers with seizures should have their spine checked for these misalignments called subluxations. Your spine can be evaluated and diagnosed through a complete examination with a chiropractor. The chiropractor will be able to tell you if you have any misalignments in the upper part of your neck that may have an impact on your seizure activity.

To correct the misalignments a very specific adjustment will be necessary. This can be achieved through a manual adjustment or a gentler instrument lead style. The important thing is that you are comfortable and you get results. These adjustments are safe and effective for both children and adults.
