Study after study has confirmed the success of chiropractic for many types of spine-related health complaints.
A three-year British study compared traditional approaches to back pain with chiropractic. Their published accounts in 1990 looked into the long-term effects of chiropractic care. They concluded that even years after, chiropractic was more effective than care provided by medical clinics.
In 1992, the Rand Corporation studied various types of low back treatments and released their findings at the meeting of the Society of Orthopedic Surgeons.
In 1987, West German researchers Gutmann and Frymann published their study of 1250 five-day-old babies. They found 211 were suffering from vomiting, hyperactivity, and sleeplessness. Examination of their cervical spines revealed 95% had muscle strain. Using chiropractic techniques to reduce the tension "frequently resulted in immediate quieting, cessation of crying, muscular relaxation and sleepiness."
A study by the Sate of Florida in 1988 showed a 50% reduction in worker's compensation costs and lost work time when chiropractic care was used instead of traditional medical treatment.
Ask the 216 patients of a 1989 Danish study of infants with colic, if chiropractic care is significant! Chiropractic care helped 94% of the cases. The report concluded that "spinal manipulation of the vertebral column in infants with infantile colic, constitutes an effective treatment of the condition."
Study after study confirms the success of chiropractic for many types of health complaints. Because chiropractic doctors help restore nervous system function, watch for research findings in the areas of aging, genetics, and immune system response.
