Chiropractic has become the most popular natural, drugless healing art in the world because of its great success. People with all kinds of health concerns, in all age groups and from all over the world, have discovered the benefits of chiropractic – often after drugs and surgery failed. Before you resort to powerful drugs and surgery, it is prudent to explore more natural, less toxic and safer options (if at all possible). Below are only a fraction of the successes chiropractic has had.
Neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, low back pain and cholesterol levels.
A 49-year-old woman with neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, low back pain, high blood lipids (dyslipidemia) and vertebral subluxations began chiropractic care.
Lipid-lowering statins were prescribed by her medical physician, but, using her own
judgment, she elected not to take them.
After six months of chiropractic care her total cholesterol improved from 221 to 170 mg/dL, her LDL went from 153 to 109 mg/dL and her HDL went from 33 to 38 mg/dL. Her triglycerides improved from 241 to 199 mg/dL and her quality of life scores were increased in eight categories. No other interventions were used. (11)

Arthritis is a disease of the whole body (a systemic disease) that is most dramatically seen in the joints. The word "arthritis" may include more than 100 conditions, many of which were formerly known as "rheumatism."
Osteoarthritis or OA, also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common arthritis of all; almost everyone over the age of 50 has a touch of it. OA often results from an unbalanced structural system creating stress on the joints so that bone growths ("lipping" and "spurring") try to strengthen the joint by depositing extra bone. (1) Sometimes the growths compress nerves, causing pain and affecting internal organs. (2)
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is the crippler that destroys joints, affects the heart, blood vessels, eyes, skin, muscles and other organs. It often appears suddenly around ages 30 to 40 – then may disappear just as suddenly! No one knows what causes it. Some researchers believe RA is caused by infected root canals or other dental infections.
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis is similar to adult RA but in over half the cases the disease simply disappears. The rubella vaccine has been discussed as a cause – up to 40% of those vaccinated with rubella suffered joint pain arthralgia, with nearly 2% developing arthritis. (3)
According to one researcher: There now exists a growing theoretical concern which links immunizations to the huge increase of … rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus erythematosus, lymphoma, and leukemia. (4)
Medicine offers no cure for arthritis. Since the underlying cause is unknown, symptom treatment – a lifetime of drugs for the pain and inflammation, heat, hot packs or exercises in warm water and similar treatments – is suggested. If a joint becomes severely deteriorated then surgery may be considered.
The Chiropractic Approach
For over a century arthritic patients have benefited from chiropractic care. (5-7)
Chiropractic care has even reversed osteoarthritis – something previously considered impossible. (8-9)
Chiropractic is a system of healthcare that improves the function of your entire body by removing or releasing blockages called subluxations. Subluxations weaken your nervous and immune systems, weakening your body. This can set the stage for sickness and diseases of all kinds – arthritis included.

Breech baby turns. A 25-year-old woman who was 31 weeks pregnant sought chiropractic care in the hope that she would be able to avoid a cesarean section due to the fetus’ breech presentation, which was confirmed by her Ob/Gyn.
The patient also had low back pain that intensified since her pregnancy.
She was evaluated and found to have sacroiliac subluxations and tension on the uterine ligaments. She was adjusted twice to correct the subluxations and ligament tension.
The baby shifted from the breech position after the first visit and after the second visit, the baby shifted to a normal vertex position. She was able to avoid a cesarean section and have an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. (5)

Brachioradial pruritis (BRP) is a condition characterized by non-stop itching on the top of the forearms (overlying the brachioradialis muscle). Scratching seems to make the itching worse.
In this case a thirty-seven-year old female with a history of brachioradial pruritis began chiropractic care. In addition to the itching, she also had complaints of neck stiffness and vertigo (dizziness). Vertebral subluxations were identified using chiropractic analysis which included palpation, heat scanning and X-ray.
After 2 ½ months of chiropractic care, the symptoms associated with BRP as well as her neck and dizziness had completely resolved. (4)

Chiropractors release a serious stress (subluxations) from your body. This releases energy for healing, regeneration and growth.
All people (especially children) need a body free of blockages and stress so they’ll have strong, happy and healthy lives. Below are some clinical cases illustrating the potential of the chiropractic adjustment to correct subluxations.
Night terrors and headaches. A female adolescent with recurring headaches and night terrors (parasomnia) began chiropractic care. The headaches and sleep disturbances were interfering with her school performance and academics, sports and her social life.
Upon examination the chiropractor discovered that she had cervical (neck), thoracic (mid back) and lumbar (lower back) subluxations.
With one month of care her postural abnormalities and associated vertebral (spinal) subluxations were corrected during which time there was a reduction in headaches and complete resolution of night terrors.
Sleep disturbances in children are common and often develop without explanation. To date there are few interventions that can help alleviate these problems. Vertebral subluxation should always be considered when a child is suffering from health issues. (3)
