When it comes to treating dyskinesia there are plenty of options available in terms of medicines and pharmaceuticals. These options can be expensive and may often come with unusual and difficult side effects to contend with. In line with the general trend towards treating conditions and illnesses, there has been a recent shift in the culture of treating people with dyskinesia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than ever before, there is a shift of people looking to treat their condition and the symptoms of their condition with natural remedies and things that don’t come as prescribed by their doctor or healthcare professional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The science behind the effectiveness of these options vary from choice to choice, however, the sheer number of people who swear by them is surely a good enough reason to at least give them a try. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with any natural remedy, what works for one person might not work for the next person, and so trial and error is recommended in order to find an effective solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Stretching<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stretching <\/a>is something that is so overlooked in so many cases. The euphoria that stretching can provide is something that many people miss out on, due to the fact that it can often be seen to be a rather boring and tedious element of any health and fitness regime. For people with dyskinesia though, stretching could be an incredibly important and natural method of achieving some kind of relief from the symptoms of the illness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best stretches to do tend to be standing stretches that are supported by either a steadily placed chair or against a wall. Starting with the feet flat on the ground, a full leg stretch can be achieved by pressing down firmly on the toes and extending through the calf muscles, all the way up the back of the legs. Whilst a person might resemble a cat during this stretch, the benefits shouldn\u2019t be overlooked as it can be very beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Pacing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pacing up and down can be something that is often attributed to the mentally unstable or has a habit of prisoners walking up and down their cells. For people with dyskinesia though, pacing can be a very effective natural method at providing treatment <\/a>for the symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a good idea to practice this technique whilst sitting upright in a comfortable chair, to begin with. Gently moving the feet up and down, in turn, can be progressed onto stamping or marching them from a seated position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activation of the leg muscles in the chain is a great way of improving balance and coordination, whilst encouraging the body to try and use the legs like an anchor to balance from, or as the best platform from which to operate and move with optimal performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pacing, marching or stamping won’t treat dyskinesia on their own, but they can certainly be a useful addition to a health care regimen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Low-protein diet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A low protein diet is recommended for people living with dyskinesia <\/a>as it has been found through extensive research that some of the medications most commonly used to treat the condition can be negatively impacted upon by high protein foods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The absorption rate of the medications has been found to be much lower and slower when high protein foods are eaten. This means that a person may need to limit or cut out some particular food groups, so as not to prevent them from gaining the full benefits of their medication. What this particular natural tweak to a person\u2019s lifestyle perhaps fails to address, is that it is done in conjunction with prescription medications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research into the benefit of a low protein diet for people with dyskinesia is only really based on people who already take medications. There is little known about whether or not a lower protein diet would be necessary if a person wasn\u2019t talking the prescription medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Avoiding alcohol<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It goes without saying that absolutely anyone could benefit from making a change to their lifestyle <\/a>that included limiting the amount of alcohol they drink, and the same is true for people living with dyskinesia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same way that the low protein diet has to be considered though, the research surrounding avoiding alcohol as a natural way to treat this condition is based on people who both take the medication as prescribed by their doctor and drink alcohol on a semi-regular basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoiding alcohol is something that most people find difficult to imagine, but if more research were available to show the effectiveness that this could have in terms of naturally treating people with dyskinesia, then perhaps there would be a wider acceptance of this method and a bigger uptake on people giving it a real go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the benefits of drinking alcohol socially and psychologically, however superficial these may be, have to be taken into consideration as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Essential oils<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nothing has boomed as much as essential oils within the last decade. The rise and rise of these natural oils as a treatment method for so many different things has been incredible to witness and there is seemingly no illness or condition known to man that an essential oil can\u2019t at least serve to remedy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way that essential oils<\/a> are used varies from person to person and is largely based on individual preference, such as the range of oils available and the many different ways in which they can be consumed or applied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to dyskinesia, the most popular way of using essential oils as a treatment method is by adding them to a base oil in a diffuser and then allowing the body to slowly reap the rewards through gradual ingestion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topical appointment of different essential oils provides an alternative option, but in truth, it really is all down the person using them and what they feel is most effective for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Gait training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People living with Parkinson’s<\/a> symptoms or dyskinesia can enhance their treatment naturally by doing what’s commonly known as “gait training” at home. This centers around practicing new ways to stand, walk, and turn. People undergoing gait training should try to take as large a step as possible when walking straight ahead, focusing on proper heel-toe walking form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They should also try to keep the legs at least 10 inches apart while turning so that they can provide more support and even reduce the risk of falls. It is a good idea for these people to avoid shoes with rubber soles, as they can stick to the floor and increase the risk of falls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking to a steady rhythm could be the final ingredient in successful gait training for effectively treating dyskinesia. It is suggested that people with the condition should practice gait training with the help of a metronome, which is a tool musicians use to keep a steady beat.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies have shown that people with the condition are able to improve the rhythm of their stride, the pace of their walking and ultimately their overall gait when they try to incorporate the use of a metronome into their practice of gait training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Swimming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The weightlessness of swimming can provide both short term and long term benefits for people living with dyskinesia. On a short term basis, going swimming can be a soothing and gentle way to exercise the whole body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The effectiveness of swimming when it comes to mobilizing stiff and troublesome joints <\/a>shouldn’t be overlooked when it comes to naturally treating dyskinesia, as it could be a vital tool to have in the box. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a long term sense, the actual exercise that a person can participate in whilst swimming can help to strengthen and sure up the muscles and the joints in the body, to a position where they are actually more stable and suitable to support the movements and day to day life of a person with dyskinesia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swimming is something that most doctors and health care professionals would advise for people living with dyskinesia and it is something that most have found to be invariably effective in naturally treating patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Yoga<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yoga is something that has been practiced for many centuries, but just like essential oils, it is something that is only recently becoming widely used by the modern world. With a large focus on maintaining correct breathing, postural alignment and on holding stretches to strengthen and lengthen muscles, it is pretty obvious to see how yoga could positively support the treatment of dyskinesia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This said one has to be very careful not to dive in at the deep end when using this as a natural treatment option, given that yoga moves can be difficult to perform even for fully able-bodied people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without proper guidance and careful instruction, some of the poses could actually be dangerous or harmful for people living with dyskinesia and so when a person chooses yoga as their natural method for treatment, it is always a good idea that they seek the advice and guidance of experts prior to beginning their course or training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
