Depression, asthma, high stress … and chiropractic.
A 49-year-old woman with a history of depression, asthma, high stress, mood and gastrointestinal changes began chiropractic care.
She was checked and corrected for vertebral subluxations during a 7-month period. During that period she was re-evaluated and exhibited a considerable improvement in her physical, emotional and social well-being.
The researchers employed a Self-Rated Health/Wellness (SRHW) survey that was taken prior to care and at subsequent progress visits that assessed her physical state, emotional/mental state, her stress levels, life enjoyment and her Overall Quality of Life. (8)
Low back pain and urinary urgency. A 24-year-old soldier was suffering from low back pain and urinary urgency (needing to urinate 12-15 times per day). Medication to relieve the problem was unsuccessful. Chiropractic adjustments were applied to sites of vertebral subluxation resulting in an amelioration of the patient’s complaints. (9)
Pervasive developmental disorder. A three-year-old boy, who was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder by a pediatrician, had communication problems, apraxia and speech delay. The child received chiropractic care over the course of 5 months to his upper cervical (neck) and sacral regions.
The outcomes were measured by re-assessments, parental evaluation and health care provider and teacher reports. The child began making friends, became more interactive and less defiant and was reported to be an overall happier child following the introduction of chiropractic care. (10)
