Vibrational sound healing is one of Parkinson’s alternative treatments that helps those with Parkinson’s disease. It works by using vibrations to relax the body, which in turn helps facilitate the flow of energy throughout the body. Parkinson’s disease affects a person’s voluntary movements and muscle control. Behavior, emotion and thinking are also impacted by Parkinson’s disease but are not voluntary brain functions. By stimulating the nervous system with vibrational sound healing techniques, symptoms of Parkinson’s can be reduced.
Parkinson’s Alternative Treatments
Parkinson’s disease occurs when nerve cells in the brain gradually die off, which causes a decrease in dopamine production. This leads to problems with mobility, body control and tremor. The symptoms include drooling, stiffness of muscles and joints, stooped posture, small or irregular handwriting and soft speech.
Modern medicine has not yet found a cure and is only able to offer medications or surgeries (such as deep brain stimulation). The most commonly prescribed drug for PD is levodopa, often just called L-dopa. This medication temporarily restores dopamine production in the brain — at least in the short term — and helps relieve some of the symptoms of PD.
Parkinson’s disease damages the Substantia Nigra part of the brain, where dopamine is produced. Vibrational sound healing helps to create calmness and peace, which has been shown to have a positive effect on dopamine production in the brain.
Use of sound or music is a very effective tool for the whole range of Parkinson’s disease stages, as well as general disease treatments. Sound can influence relaxation and mood regulation, pain management and control, improvement of verbal and non-verbal communication, mobilization and improvement of breathing patterns. In addition, rhythmic auditory stimulation can improve mobility in persons with Parkinsons disease.
Other methods that help in the treatment of Parkinson’s can be through a personalized nutrition protocol. Since more than 90 percent of the body’s dopamine, a key chemical for movement control, is manufactured in the part of the brain (substantia nigra), this area deteriorates and dies in Parkinson’s disease, gradually depleting the brain’s dopamine. No one knows for sure why the cells stop working, but studies suggest that free radicals – naturally occurring molecules known to damage cells – play a role in this gradual deterioration. A number of studies suggest that a diet rich in foods containing antioxidants may help counteract these free radicals, especially if they occur as part of healthy living habits such as regular exercise and not smoking.

This book states that conventional management of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is limited. The pharmaceutical and surgical options that are available have significant side effects and only correct symptoms for a limited period of time. Even with the best conventional treatment, the disease progresses and becomes severely disabling. With no existing conventional therapies that halts the progress of the disease; available medicines only treat symptoms temporarily. Conventional medicine views the course of the disease as “progressive” and “irreversible.” Many patients, who are only partially satisfied with conventional medicine, seek alternative and complementary options in an attempt to slow, stop, or reverse the disease process.
Conclusion
Recent studies have shown that using vibration with sound healing can help reduce tremors and stiffness for people suffering Parkinson’s disease, and other conditions like Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s. Vibrational sound therapies that make use of Tibetan singing bowls are proven to help resolve and provide relief to the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
In my Universal Harmony studio, you can experience how the sound combination of the gong, singing bowl and chimes create harmonic resonance that enhances and revitalizes your energy. By focusing on each of the seven chakras, the experience helps you connect more deeply with yourself and to Source energy. I often play uplifting tunes as participants surround themselves in beautiful instruments. Whether you’re looking for a partner, a group or to enjoy life fully as a single, these sessions provides enhanced awareness that impacts body, mind and spirit.
