Parkinson’s Support
Parkinson’s disease affects far more than just movement — it can impact posture, stability, coordination, and overall comfort. At Palatine Family Chiropractic, we provide gentle, customized care to help improve mobility, reduce tension, and support nervous system function for those living with Parkinson’s.
Support for Movement, Balance, and Quality of Life with Parkinson’s Care
How do we Help with Parkinson’s Support?
While chiropractic care does not treat Parkinson’s directly, it can play an important role in managing the physical effects of the condition. Parkinson’s can lead to muscle rigidity, joint stiffness, poor posture, and balance issues — all of which may respond well to chiropractic adjustments and supportive therapies.
Our goal is to improve spinal alignment, support nervous system function, and help patients move with more ease and comfort in their daily lives.
How It Works
We begin with a thorough evaluation, focusing on posture, range of motion, and neurological function. Chiropractic adjustments are performed gently and with precision, taking into account the patient’s needs and sensitivity. Care may also include mobility work, soft tissue therapy, and balance-focused exercises to help improve movement and stability.
Why It’s Effective
The spine and nervous system work together to control movement, posture, and coordination — all areas affected by Parkinson’s. When the spine is misaligned or under stress, it can further disrupt communication between the brain and body. Chiropractic care helps support that connection, relieve musculoskeletal tension, and improve overall body awareness.
