Multiple Sclerosis and Cervical Spine Degeneration
Multiple Sclerosis and Cervical Spine Degeneration
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this is more stuff you need to know.
The write “Trauma to the neck may increase your risk for developing Multiple Sclerosis. New MRI technology is allowing researchers to see what upper cervical chiropractors have been saying for decades. Degeneration in the spine interferes with the flow of spinal fluid. The resulting changes in pressure around the spine can damage nerves, causing an inflammatory response. This may set the stage for immune reactions that can damage the insulation around nerves, causing the demyelination of the central nerve system seen in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.”
