Clinical Trial Research study for FM, CFS, IDS   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #66 of 905 |
We would like to invite anyone else that you might know to be part
of a 3 month Clinical Trial research study for individuals who
suffer with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Immune
Deficiency Syndrome due to an Upper Cervical injury.

Recent research has pinpointed traumatic neck injury, particularly
in the upper part of the neck (whiplash, concussion, etc.), as a
risk factor for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue onset. Symptoms of
fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue may not immediately follow the
cervical spine injury, but can take months or years to develop. The
purpose of upper cervical chiropractic care is to restore the proper
biomechanics of the upper part of the neck. This reduces irritation
of the nerves in the brain stem and spinal cord that can trigger
pain, neuro-muscular dysfunction, and fatigue.

While many fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue sufferers recall
specific traumas such as head injuries, auto accidents or falls,
some do not. An upper cervical examination utilizing Laser-aligned
Radiography and Digital Infrared Imaging is necessary in each
individual case to assess whether an upper cervical injury is
present and whether benefit from upper cervical specific care can be
achieved.

The study will include an investigative process using Digital
Infrared Imaging to determine the function of the nervous system and
specific upper cervical digital radiographs to determine the
presence of a past injury that may be causing the nervous system not
to function properly.

If both findings are present they will be placed under 3 months of
care to reverse the upper cervical injury and restore nervous system
function. The cost of the initial exam and the 3 months of care
will be covered except for the radiographic examination.

Feel free to fwd this email to anyone you know who you think might
be interested. If you want to participate, email us and we will send
you a packet of information.

Look forward to hearing from you and seeing you get well!

Drs. Marc and Katie DeMeester, D.C.
