Medical Science Exploring Use Of Eft In Treatment Of Multiple Sclerosis

Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, is a form of acupuncture that uses human touch to release negative energy buildup. This is done through "tapping" or repetitive hand taps done in specific areas around the body. Similar to acupuncture, the taps are meant to improve the energy flow within the body and help the healing process. This is part of the treatment plans of integrative medicine currently being studied by clinicians for the treatment of neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis.

Numerous research has been conducted on the neurological illness, and health professionals are still determining the best treatment course. Each plan would vary per individual – as no two cases are the same – yet neuroscientists are highly recommending the use of both Western and integrative medicine. EFT, and its claimed benefits have gained the attention of medical experts and is now being studied further. As of this writing, there has yet to be a clear medical conclusion regarding the use of tapping and its subsequent alleviation of certain symptoms of multiple sclerosis. There are many success stories available online that claim its efficacy.

It is unknown whether the effect is similar to the placebo effect. Doctors are hesitant to reach this conclusion as there are tangible and real results of EFT and symptom alleviation of neurological disorders. The exact mechanics are unknown, yet there is a clear relationship between the two. It is estimated that a few more years of thorough study will shine a light to the connection.

Multiple Sclerosis: Exercise As a Doorway To Improvement, According To The Nscff

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. In people with MS, their immune system targets the myelin sheath that covers the nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord, thereby degrading it. This, in turn, causes communication problems between the brain and the rest of the peripheral organs. Over time, however, a severe degree of MS can cause not only damage to the myelin sheath but also to the nerves. 

With irreversible damage to the nerves, the person affected with MS may never be able to utilize his muscles normally ever again. MS does not have a cure as of the moment, but the competent scientists at the Neuroscience Center of Florida Foundation, Inc. (NSCFF) are now looking into different ways how they can effectively manage or even cure the disease.

The team at NSCFF are providing a band exercise program to help patients manage symptoms associated with MS. The program consists of exercise regimens that use resistant elastic bands which are adapted to the different levels of disability. There has been research that band exercising can improve the hip strength of MS patients, helping them boost their motor skills. It directly addresses hip weakness since it is the primary deterrent that negatively affects the patient’s way of life. 

Patients undergoing the band exercise process learn to exercise effectively without incurring any injuries or traumatizing their muscles. Additionally, patients can improve their overall core strength and balance and as well as combat fatigue and weakness.
