Chiropractic Management of Hypertension
New Trial provides convincing evidence of Effectiveness…
This is an excerpt from the May ‘07 issue of “The Chiropractic Report”, providing chiropractors with research from around the globe. The Journal of Human Hypertension published a clinical trial performed at Rush University in Chicago; To summarize, 25 patients received upper cervical specific adjustments, to correct the poor alignment (subluxations) of the C1 vertebra (Atlas). Both systolic and diastolic levels of pressure were significantly reduced in the treatment vs. control group. This is the first proven non-surgical and non-medicated approach to alleviating high blood pressure, and paves the way for more research to be performed.
