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.

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!
