How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Helps in the Treatment of Seizure Disorders

Overview

A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain. They are changes in the brain’s electrical activity. These changes can cause dramatic, noticeable symptoms or no symptoms at all. Having two or more seizures at least 24 hours apart that aren’t brought on by an identifiable cause is generally considered epilepsy.

The symptoms of a severe seizure include violent shaking and a loss of control. Because some bouts can lead to injury or be a sign of an underlying medical condition, seeking treatment is essential if you experience them.

Types of seizures

The three major types are focal onset seizures, generalized onset seizures, and unknown onset seizures.

Focal onset seizures occur in only one area of the brain. Therefore, people may also refer to these as partial seizures.

Focal onset seizures can start in small brain areas, such as a single lobe, but can affect large areas.

Generalized onset seizures start in both sides of the brain simultaneously. The common types of generalized onset seizures include:

• Tonic seizures
• Clonic seizures
