You Be the Judge!

By: Dr. Alan Rosenthal

In a review of the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research, Dr. Sean Hannon reviewed numerous studies published in research literature showing that Chiropractic wellness care has a direct and positive effect on the function of our bodies. Think about this for a minute. Could Chiropractic improve your overall quality of life? Would you tire less easily, sleep more soundly, move easier, walk faster, overcome illnesses quicker, become stronger? The answer is YES!

Move Easier

Many medical papers show that Chiropractic care improves range of motion, muscle tone, and muscle strength enabling a person to move easier and with more fluidity.

Immune System Boost

Other studies have shown that Chiropractic wellness care affects how efficiently our immune system’s cells destroy invaders. Chiropractic can also affect some of the stress hormones and even increase beta-endorphin levels which allow the body to feel better during the healing process. By reducing interference to the way your nervous system works, Chiropractic can actually help the body work more efficiently; and it improves overall physiological function.

Healthier Heart and Lungs

Chiropractic wellness care reduces pulse pressure and reduces heart rate. By increasing cardiac reserve and nutrient supply to cardiac muscles along with reduced pressure and heart rate, Chiropractic can potentially reduce the risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular diseases. Other effects on cardiopulmonary (heart and lung) function have revealed that Chiropractic can improve aerobic capacity, lung volume and pulmonary function.

Improved Performance and Wellness

Research using athletes has shown changes in agility, balance, kinaesthetic perception, power, and speed reaction as well as improvement in muscle strength, long jump distance, and capillary counts. This will translate into overall improved performance in other areas of life, not just athletics.

In short, Chiropractic wellness care can help you to live a more holistic, well balanced and better functioning life. This is what I call wellness. So the next time you hear of someone receiving care by a Chiropractor, realize that their benefits go far beyond getting the patient out of pain.
