Conditions - Central Nervous System

Patrick Massey MD, PhD ALT-MED Medical and Physical Therapy, Elk Grove Village IL and serving the Chicago area

Medical conditions of the nervous system are often serious. Among the most devastating are stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. Although there are newer medications available, traditional medicine usually does not take a wholistic view on treatment.

For any neurological illness, changes in lifestyle, exercise, stress reduction, dietary supplements and intravenous vitamin therapy can change a person's destiny.

Nerve cells are the most metabolically active cells in the body. Decreases in essential nutrients, over time, can make any neurological disease worse…including dementia. Combining the best of traditional medicine and alternative and complementary medicine…integrative medicine…often results in more robust outcomes – short term and over time.

There is increasing medical research showing that the integrative medicine approach is better than either traditional or non-traditional medicine alone. For neurological disease, the earlier a person starts, the better the outcome.

If I had not entered in this back pain program, I told for sure that I would have to have had back surgery for my three herniated disc's. I have talk to a few coworkers... They had back surgery and I cannot believe the shape they're in... Some are never going to be the same. Some had less severe problems than me and are now on permanent disability. I feel the 99.5% back to normal before the accident.
