Latest Research: Chiropractic Lowers Blood Pressure

You may have seen reports of a new study on the effectiveness of a certain type of chiropractic treatment in lowering blood pressure without any drugs, or changes in diet or exercise habits.* It’s been all over the TV news.

The patients in this study simply went to the chiropractor, were carefully examined and x-rayed in a very specific way and then given a precise chiropractic adjustment. Just once. Six months later, the 25 patients in the study who actually got adjustments still had, on average, a 17 point reduction in blood pressure. That is very significant. Take a look at the enclosed list of medications and their side-effects. Eliminating or reducing the amount you take could make a BIG difference in how you feel. Also, if your body is better able to regulate your blood pressure, there will be less fluctuation between doses of medication, which will mean fewer “ups and downs” in the way you feel during the day.

The technique used in the study is called “Nucca”. It is one of several “upper cervical” techniques. While proponents of a particular upper cervical technique might argue the point, they are all pretty much alike. Careful examination and x-ray techniques are used to determine the direction and degree to which the occiput (base of the skull), the atlas (first vertebra), and axis (second vertebra) are misaligned in relation to each other and the rest of the body. Then, they are realigned either by hand or by one of several different types of adjusting instruments. It is the precision of the x-ray analysis and adjusting technique that gives results where other methods might fail.

While I do not limit my practice to upper cervical adjusting, I am proficient in three very effective upper cervical techniques, two done by hand and one by a hand-held instrument. There is a method of precise x-ray positioning and analysis that I use that has helped me get quick, long-lasting results.

Over my 25 years of practice, I have had many patients report a drop in high blood pressure while being treated for neck pain. This has been a well-known effect of chiropractic adjustments for years. Now, with this study and all of the publicity surrounding it, the time has come to promote it.

Just give us a call and tell Pat that you want to come in for the FREE “Chiropractic Blood Pressure Program” screening. If there are certain indicators present that would make you a candidate for care, you will be accepted into the program. I have set a fee that I’m sure you will find very affordable.

I look forward to helping you.

Yours in Health,
