Dystonia/Tremor Disorder

The latest research suggests lack of activation can affectrepparttar brain’s ability to process information. Therefore, abnormal signals are misinterpreted by brain cells, therefore messages can get jumbled. Fortunately, non-pharmaceutically based treatments are now available and are effective for lasting long term results. These treatment modalities are available at Apple Medical Clinic. Treatment for each patient is individualized. Some ofrepparttar 143367 treatments could include auditory or visual stimulation, calorics (warm or cold water inrepparttar 143368 ear), eye exercises, visual imagery, or spin therapy.

Prior to any treatment at Apple Medical Clinic, a comprehensive exam is performed. The purpose ofrepparttar 143369 comprehensive exam at Apple Medical Clinic is to identify areas of decreased activity ofrepparttar 143370 brain, brainstem, cerebellum, spinal cord and nerves. Problems in these areas can result in other systems away fromrepparttar 143371 head and neck to be affected. The exam will cover patients from head to toe to ensure we assess and then treatrepparttar 143372 patient inrepparttar 143373 most appropriate and thorough manner.

repparttar frequency of firing inrepparttar 143366 right cerebral cortex (right brain). The effects of visual stimulation are monitored by blood pressure and pulse. Increased frequency of firing (impulses) ofrepparttar 143367 cortex (brain) should lowerrepparttar 143368 blood pressure and pulse via ponto-medullary (lower brain stem) stimulation. Increased cortical (brain) stimulation also fires torepparttar 143369 cerebellum (back part ofrepparttar 143370 brain) via feedback mechanisms. The cerebellum controls involuntary muscles ofrepparttar 143371 spinal cord. Auditory stimulation (sound) inrepparttar 143372 left ear increases frequency of firing (impulses) inrepparttar 143373 temporal lobe ofrepparttar 143374 brain. Auditory stimulation is monitored by blood pressure and pulse. Treatments may include unilateral (one-sided) exercises and unilateral (one-sided) adjustments or manipulations. Extremities (arms and legs), lumbar spine (low back), and cervical spine (neck) may be manipulated on one side only to fire muscle spindle cells (muscle receptors) and joint mechanoreceptors (joint receptors) intorepparttar 143375 same cerebellum (back part ofrepparttar 143376 brain) and opposite cerebral cortex (brain). The thoracic (mid-back) spine may be globally manipulated to firerepparttar 143377 dorsal columns (back part ofrepparttar 143378 spinal cord).
