Multiple System Atrophy | REVIEW

Acupuncturist Hiroaki Yoshiike explaining about Multiple System Atrophy

Updated/2024.08.24

Improvement in Multiple System Atrophy

Fukuoka Prefecture, A.T. (Brother)

When I returned home, I was told that my brother had Multiple System Atrophy, which worried me, but we are now attending acupuncture treatment together. At first, he needed support to walk, but now he can walk quite a bit on his own. I hear it's a progressive disease, but I want to support my brother as much as possible, so please help us.

Fukuoka Prefecture A.T. (Brother)

Your brother is starting to lose his voice. There can be moments where he suddenly can't breathe, so let's start voice rehabilitation early. Singing karaoke can also be effective.

It seems that consuming more carbohydrates leads to decreased energy. This is due to a drop in blood pressure, which is also a sign of worsening condition. Try to consume foods that are high in protein and salt. Cheddar cheese is recommended.

    Multiple System Atrophy

    Interested in Acupuncture Treatment

    N.H. from Aomori Prefecture

    There is some instability, but there are no symptoms like speech impairment. Even though it's far away, I want to continue if it can slow down the symptoms even a little.

    There are no signs of autonomic nervous system dysfunction so far, so we will work proactively to stabilize the nerves. Be sure to do tongue exercises. There can be strain from changes in air pressure. Please call us when that happens for advice.

    Want to Walk for Another 2 Years!

    T.Y. from Hyogo Prefecture

    Due to work circumstances, I want to remain active for another 2 years, so please help me. In my case, I feel dizzy. It's hard to stand. My legs are strong, so I feel like I can make it. Please help.

    There are various types of Multiple System Atrophy. It seems that T.Y. has a type where autonomic nervous system symptoms are more prominent. Some people faint when their blood pressure suddenly drops, so let's stand up slowly with careful movements. I believe you can walk once your blood pressure stabilizes with acupuncture treatment, so please continue rehabilitation while being careful of falls.

    Multiple System Atrophy

    Sleepy...

    K.A. from Tokyo

    I was told that my symptoms have progressed, but I feel better around the evening. I feel sleepy and don't want to walk, but I'm trying my best to walk as advised by the doctor. I feel good after acupuncture treatment, so please continue to help me.

    Sometimes, it is mistakenly thought that symptoms have progressed due to side effects of medication. Patients with Multiple System Atrophy have reduced metabolism, and taking sedatives can make them very sleepy and unable to walk. Additionally, taking a lot of carbohydrates often causes postprandial hypotension, leading to a lack of energy, so be careful. Do exercise when you feel good during the day.

    Diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy

    H.T. from Aichi Prefecture

    I was told at the university hospital that I have Multiple System Atrophy. I'm worried about the future since I'm living alone. I want to come for treatment, but I might not be able to come often.

    Since your siblings can bring you, why not try treatment without giving up? There are differences in the progression of Multiple System Atrophy among individuals. Research using IPS cells is producing results, and clinical trials for intractable diseases have recently begun nationwide. A treatment method that can cure Multiple System Atrophy will surely be discovered, so let's try to prevent the progression until then.

    Multiple System Atrophy

    I Saw Your Website

    I.K. from Saga Prefecture

    I saw the Moriue website. Since there are individual differences in the progression of symptoms, I came from Saga to be examined once. Thank you in advance.

    Even though Multiple System Atrophy may temporarily improve, it is known that there are significant individual differences in the progression of symptoms. However, many people with slower progression are actively participating in non-medication treatments. Thermography can help estimate which areas might worsen in the future. Since the temperature in your calves is dropping, please use the recommended walker for rehabilitation when you return to Saga.

    *As of October 2022.

Acupuncture Clinic for Multiple System Atrophy

We conduct tests from a different perspective than doctors and apply them to acupuncture treatment.

We specialize in treating patients with rare diseases for which Western medicine has not yet established a treatment method, patients who did not improve with insurance-covered medical treatment, and patients whose health was adversely affected by the side effects of medication. We perform acupuncture treatment from a different perspective than doctors, conducting a thorough interview during the initial visit, so if you have any concerns, please consult with us.

Unique Testing at Our Clinic

  • Test for Olive Pons Cerebellar Atrophy

    Test for Body Inclination

    In Olive Pons Cerebellar Atrophy, the greater the body's inclination, the more likely symptoms will progress. We check the posture muscles that cause the inclination while proceeding with acupuncture treatment.

  • Test for Shy-Drager Syndrome

    Test for Autonomic Nervous System Condition

    In Multiple System Atrophy, the balance of the autonomic nervous system often deteriorates before symptoms worsen. Disruptions in the autonomic nervous system can be detected through changes in body surface temperature, so we investigate the signs of worsening while proceeding with acupuncture treatment.

  • Test for Striatonigral Degeneration

    Test for Blood Flow to the Brain

    Many patients with progressing Multiple System Atrophy have deteriorated blood flow to the brain. As blood flow changes between lying and standing positions, we check the condition of blood flow to the brain in the posture most common in daily life and proceed with acupuncture treatment.
