We have found osteopathy to benefit people who suffer with seizures in a number of ways. 

• Reduce side effects of medication, for example improve alertness and concentration.
• Reduce toxicity, especially within the gut.
• Help with learning difficulties and behavioural problems associated with seizures or anti-convulsant medication.
• Reduce seizure activity.

Phil:

Phil has been diagnosed with myoclonic jerks associated with a cyst within the left temporal lobe.  He also has problems with language and communication.  When I first met Phil, he wandered aimlessly around the treatment room, in a world of his own.  He had no eye contact and was very quiet and withdrawn.

By the 6th visit, he was talking a lot more and appeared to be more expressive.  The seizures had also become milder.  We continued to treat Phil, helping his body to cope better with the medication he was on and reduce the irritability throughout his body.  After further treatment, he has become more alert, and is now very lively and animated.  He is communicating better and making more of an effort to interact with others.  His seizures vary especially with illness, but having had numerous seizures each week, he now gets on average, 1 seizure every 5 weeks.
