Chiropractic care to reduce “Pisa (leaning tower posture”.

[Parkiewife]

Has anybody tried Chiropractic care to straighten spine? Husband with DBS, pd falls constantly, severe leaning to right. Interested in knowing if this helped you with posture.

This problem is neurological in nature rather than a subluxation of the spine. So I do not think chiropractic would be able to do anything.

Don’t know if neurological or not. PD neuro won’t address this. Husband has MANY falls and has high threshold for pain. Broke his collarbone, I noticed the slumped shoulder and took him to ER.

My Chiro would xray first before procedure. Who knows? He may have broken his back at one time? Either way, wish he could get xray to determine if from pd or not?

If your husband is falling frequently and breaking bones, I would take that very seriously and persevere until it gets addressed.

My brother, who had PD, died from a fall. It is a major cause of death for people with PD.

[MBAnderson in reply to pvw2]

I'm sorry for your loss. It is a major cause.

My back has been achy for weeks. I don't want to abuse tramadol anymore so I tried two 200mg ibuprofen. An hour later it still aches but not as bad, not as irritating. I read that ibuprofen can help PD.

I stretch my back muscles. That doesn't work for everyone, but it was my doctor's recommendation.

Hi. I see a chiro for PD, along with my neurologist of course. One thing he does is reset the atlas vertebrae to allow more impulses between the spinal chord and brain. In addition, he has me do exercises to eliminate PD stoop posture. He has made a difference.

Awesome! I will address this need with my husbands neuro in January! Thank you!

I should also add my chiro has many exercises to be done at home, and, that there are many devices you can buy/wear to straighten your posture …….
