Visit our site: https://healthtouch.info to learn more about our amazing Chiropractic and Wellness Team at Health Touch Chiropractic who are proud to help teach others about ALS and to help promote awareness to find solutions for this tragic disease.

Dr. Pleau speaks openly about how his family is directly affected by the disease. His passion for this mission is strong and encourages all of us to learn more about this condition and to donate where you can to help find a solution.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.

While there is not a cure or treatment today that halts or reverses ALS, there are significant devices and therapies that can manage the symptoms of ALS that help people maintain as much independence as possible and prolong survival. It is important to remember that ALS is a quite variable disease; no two people will have the same journey or experiences. There are medically documented cases of people in whom ALS ‘burns out,’ stops progressing or progresses at a very slow rate. No matter what your individual course or situation may be remember our team is here to help.

We are proud supporters of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and we nominate all of you to come and support this worthy cause!
