Does Chiropractic Really Work?

Chiropractic has been around for over a hundred years, and has been used to help everyone from tiny babies to the elderly, and even top sports stars and entertainers like Tiger Woods, Emmitt Smith, Tony Robbins, Joe Montana, Lance Armstrong, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Mel Gibson.

In fact, the U.S. government is so convinced chiropractic works, they've been paying for it through the Medicare system for 30 years. In addition to that, here's what some of the top medical researchers had to say about chiropractic

“Manipulation (chiropractic adjustments), with or without exercise, improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.” British Medical Journal

“Chiropractor's manipulation of the spine was more helpful than any of the following traction, massage, biofeedback, acupuncture, injection of steroids into the spine and back corsets, and ultrasound.” Stanley Bigos, MD, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery

Are Headaches Controlling Your Life?

If you're female, over 16 and suffer with migraines these are the facts you must know.

1. Approximately 22 million women are affected by migraines in the United States.

2. Medical science has discovered that most headaches are caused by damaged structures around the neck like joints, ligaments, muscles, and cervical discs, all of which have complex nerve endings.

3. Research has proven certain natural treatments have great success with headaches even better than massage & medications, & with no side effects.

Could This Drugless Treatment Be Your Headache Solution Too?

Numerous studies have shown the benefits of chiropractic with headache patients.

The Boline Study

This study compared two groups of headache patients, half went for chiropractic adjustments, the other half took amitriptyline, a medication often prescribed for the treatment of severe tension headache pain. After six weeks researchers found that chiropractic patients experienced almost no side effects. And only the chiropractic patients continued to report fewer headaches when treatment ended.

The Duke Study

Medical experts concluded that spinal manipulations resulted in almost immediate improvement for headaches. Patients also had significantly fewer side effects and longer-lasting relief of headaches than a commonly prescribed medication.
