Memory and Cognition Program

Overview:

Changes in memory and cognition is the sine qua non of dementia. Since there is no therapy that reverses existing dementia, prevention is the only option. The first step is testing of the status of memory and cognition. After that, lifestyle changes can be critical for preservation of brain function and reducing the risk of dementia.
Accessing the risk or the progression of dementia is not a one-step process. There are many factors contributing to reducing the risk of dementia.

History

Family history, age, gender, level of education, illnesses, medications, supplements, lifestyle, stress, sleep, exercise all contribute to the relative risk of developing dementia. You will complete this survey before seeing Dr. Massey accessing the risk factors for dementia.

Return

ALT-MED was the program I'd been looking for to address my back pain. While chiropractic helped to..it didn't seem oriented to really changing my condition. After the ALT-MED program...I've resumed or taken up walking exercises that would have previously resulted in my leg and foot going numb... Great idea! Thanks!
