While not acupuncture, this one falls into the chiropractic category.

Having grown up in Chicago, we of course still talk about the 1985 Bears. There is an interesting story about Jim McMahon who thought he was suffering from dementia, and serious effects of CTE. He was ready to take his life. It ends up the main problem was a neck injury that was never addressed.

1985 Super Bowl Champion Jim McMahon on Chiropractic:
“Miraculous and Life-Changing”
A few years ago, one of the 1985 Super Bowl champions, Jim McMahon of the Chicago Bears, believed he was in the early stages of dementia.

According to McMahon’s physician Dr. Raymond Damadian, McMahon suffered from Cranio-Cervical Syndrome (CCS), which was causing him his pain. The issues McMahon struggled with originated because of injury to his neck.

Dr. Damadian referred him to a chiropractor after the he was unable to treat McMahon for this devastating condition. McMahon’s symptoms included slurred speech, headaches, foggy thought process, pressure in the skull, forgetfulness and mood swings.

Dr. Damadian, inventor of the FONAR Upright MRL, and New York chiropractor Dr. Scott Rosa partnered by using X-rays and the MRI to diagnose and create a treatment plan for McMahon. A scan using the FONAR Upright MRI revealed that McMahon had a significant misalignment at the base of his skull. The misalignment impeded the flow of his spinal fluid.

Dr. Rosa used his patented Image Guided Atlas Treatment (IGAT) to successfully treat and reverse McMahon’s dementia symptoms.

McMahon has called his chiropractic treatments “miraculous and life changing.”
