As an evidence-based seizure chiropractor, Dr. Ben performs an elite differential diagnosis to locate the root cause of your symptoms.
When consulting a dedicated seizure chiropractor, we deeply evaluate the biomechanical link between your upper neck and your central nervous system. The upper cervical spine is densely packed with mechanoreceptors that constantly feed proprioceptive information into the brainstem (Guyton & Hall, 2000). When a physical trauma—such as a head injury or even a severe intrapartum injury during birth (Hermansen, 2001)—misaligns these upper cervical vertebrae, it creates a constant barrage of "neurological static." This mechanical distortion alters the delicate balance between excitation and inhibition in the brain, lowering the threshold for an epileptic attack.
Specifically, low-force chiropractic adjustments to the upper cervical spine remove this structural interference, allowing the brain to recalibrate and maintain healthy electrical rhythms.
If you or a loved one are struggling with epilepsy and have been told that heavy, symptom-suppressing medications are the only way to manage your condition, you may need the specialized diagnostic approach of an expert seizure chiropractor.
A seizure is a sudden discharge of abnormally high-frequency electrical activity in the brain. The cause of epilepsy and seizure disorders is not well understood by the healthcare community, yet researchers continue to focus on trauma as a key cause. Regardless of age, an injury to the head or trauma to the neck and/or upper back can play a key role in the development of seizures. In certain pediatric cases, the injury may occur during the birthing process. After an injury, seizures may begin immediately or, in some cases, take months or years to develop.
While standard medical interventions rely heavily on anti-epileptic drugs (Sirven et al., 1997; Curry et al., 1998) to force chemical changes, these often come with significant limitations and side effects as outlined in the Physicians’ Desk Reference (Arky et al., 2005).
At Chirogenesis, we understand that achieving true stability requires looking beyond the symptoms to correct the underlying structural and neurological interference.
Standard neurological care often focuses solely on the brain's chemical activity. However, as an evidence-based seizure chiropractor, Dr. Ben performs an elite differential diagnosis to address the central nervous system as a whole. A profound risk factor for developing seizures is prior head trauma. The literature heavily documents the risks of early and late posttraumatic seizures following traumatic brain injury (Angeleri et al., 1999; Annegers & Coan, 2000; Asikainen et al., 1999; Barlow et al., 2000).
According to the Physician’s Desk Reference, the traditional drugs used to treat seizure disorders and epilepsy are associated with many adverse side effects; a number of them are potentially dangerous.
A study published by the American Family Physician states that many of the drugs used to treat seizures and epilepsy fail to adequately control seizures, and 25 to 40% of patients with epilepsy continue to have seizures despite treatment with traditional antiepileptic drugs. Up to 61% of patients with seizures report having side effects with antiepileptic drugs. Newer antiepileptic drugs may be more effective, but their potential for serious side effects requires careful consideration of the risks verses benefits.
You do not have to live in constant fear of the next episode or rely entirely on medications that limit your potential. True recovery requires an expert diagnostician who treats the whole person.
