In the study patients under Chiropractic care (through adjustments of their upper cervical spine), saw marked decreases in blood pressure. The average drop in BP was an amazing 17 points (the same affectivness as taking 2 medications).
What does this all mean? Is Chiropractic a cure for high blood pressure? Can I stop taking these drugs?
As my patients already know, Chiropractic doesn't cure anything!!!! Not low back, pain, headaches, neck tension, asthma, cancer, etc.
However, the miracle of Chiropractic is it removes interference in the nervous system, thereby it improves the funtion of your nervous system, and your body works better. Chiropractors have been screaming this in the Unbited States for over a century, and occasionally a study like this comes out and MD's everywhere look skeptically and scratch their head.

What baffles me is that for each of these great Chiropractic stories that comes out, at the end they always quote some supposedly all knowing Medical Doctor, to interpret the results. To go to your medical doctor and ask questions about how Chiropractic works is as ridiculous as asking your favorite carpenter a plumbing question. They simply are not trained to answer the question intelligently. If you would like to prove this ask your MD how much Chiropractic training they received in medical school (theory, technique, the whole shabang). It is the same amount of surgical training I received in Chiropractic school. ZERO!!
If you want your body (or that of your family and friend) to work better have them checked by a Chiropractor to see if they can help. It is a drug free way to better health.
