Chiropractic and Multiple Sclerosis
Schaumburg, IL MS Relief
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is reported as “the most widespread disabling neurological condition of young adults around the world.” In fact, approximately 200 new of MS are diagnosed weekly in the U.S. alone. Although there is no cure for this condition that is characterized by muscle weakness and spasms, balance issues, fatigue, and vision problems, Health First Wellness Center, your Schaumburg, IL chiropractor might be able to help.
Chiropractic May be Beneficial for Multiple Sclerosis
By treating MS patients’ subluxations with chiropractic adjustments, especially those focused on the upper cervical area, research has shown that the symptoms may often improve…sometimes significantly. The best part is that this form of treatment doesn’t rely on trying to find a medication that works, which is a bonus because there are only currently 12 FDA approved medications for MS at this time.
Ultimately, by treating the underlying spinal dysfunction, this results in a higher quality of life for the person afflicted with this condition.
If you’re looking for chiropractic care in Schaumburg, IL, Health First Wellness Center might be able to help you get natural relief from your MS symptoms. Give our office a call today at (847) 519-7046 to learn more. You can learn more about the benefits of chiropractic care here.

My experience at Health First has been nothing but superb. In my line of work comes a lot of stress, and nothing better than to cure that stress with a massage. The massages are so soothing and blissful. Everyone on staff was fantastic and very friendly and helpful. I have made Health First my biweekly stop to decompress. I highly recommend it to all of my friends and colleagues.
