For years I’ve been looking for a “cure” for motion sensitivity. It seems to me that when you do a google search the only things that come up are common sense recommendations to avoid the situations that cause the motion sensitivity, sit in the front seat of the car and keep your eye on the horizon, or take Dramamine, ginger caps, press on those acupuncture points on the wrist. Yeah, these things may help, but I’ve wondered: Isn’t this a problem that can be corrected? Is there a solution out there?
And, apparantly, there is! So far, I have not been “cured” because I haven’t been focusing on this aspect of my health, nor do I have the money to be seeing the doctor that can help me with this problem on a consistent basis. But, once I’m able to, I will let you all know once I’m cured.
First off, let me preface this by saying that I’ve read that hypoglycemia can make motion sensitivity worse, which is interesting. It’s like it all goes back to sugar. (Like with candida, bacteria, etc.) An imbalance of blood sugar. (Low blood sugar which is usually caused by too much sugar in the diet which causes extreme blood sugar spikes.) Though I don’t think balancing blood sugar will solve the whole issue.
My acupunturist who does NAET also has treated people with motion sensitivity and vertigo with NAET. So that’s something to look into too. He said that it’s usually caused by a mineral imbalance (caused by an intolerance/allergy to a mineral).
More to the point, I’ve been referred to a “Chiropractic Neurologist” by my regular chiropractor. Chiropractic Neurologists have specific training in neurological treatment techniques using motor exercises and adjustments that can be used to treat all sorts of neurological conditions, including motion sensitivity, vertigo, dizziness, Autism, MS, learning disabilities, stroke, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, and more. Check out Dr. David Clark’s website: Northlake Chiropractic & Wellness in Dallas, Texas for more information and videos on Chiropractic Neurology. There does seem to be a cure, or at least real help. To locate a Chiropractic Neurologist in your area check the American Chiropractic Neurology Board.
I’ve been to a Chiropractic Neurologist- not Dr. Clark- he’s out of my area, but I’ve seen a good one, but only once or twice. By motor testing I was found to have a weak left cerebellum and prescribed specific motor exercises to strengthen that part of my brain. So far I have not been consistent with this but as soon as I am and I go back to this doctor, I’ll post an update on any progress. I do believe in it. I do believe there is a future for me without motion sensitivity where I can hopefully do things like travel without fear of feeling ill.
