Reduce Blood Pressure Naturally...With Chiropractic?

Well, who would have thought this was possible. I guess when patients say they feel so much more relaxed after being adjusted, there really is some deeper validity to it.

I'm sure more study needs to be done on this phenomenon, but a new study published in the Journal of Hypertension suggests that correcting a misalignment of the Atlas vertebra (the very top bone in your spine) can correct high blood pressure.

The pilot study, “Atlas vertebra realignment and achievement of arterial pressure goal in hypertensive patients: A pilot study,” conducted by researchers at Rush University Hypertension Center, Chiropractic Health Center, Barrington Family Medical Clinic, and the Atlas Research Foundation, all in the Chicago area, showed that abnormalities of the cervical spine at the level of the Atlas vertebra increased blood pressure. Correcting malalignment of the Atlas vertebra reduces and maintains a lower blood pressure.]

The study used a double-blind testing method. The researchers concluded, “No adverse effects were recorded. We conclude that restoration of Atlas alignment is associated with marked and sustained reductions in BP similar to the use of two-drug combination therapy.”

Now I wouldn't go throwing away those blood pressure medications yet. Of course, speak with your physician about simply adding chiropractic to your hypertension management program and hey, one day you just might find yourself not having to go fill your prescription.
