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)
