Positive Effects of Chiropractic Care for High Blood Pressure

ABC NEWS CHANNEL 7 - "We designed a double blind study to really look and see if in fact this procedure was affecting high blood pressure," Twenty five patients got the real adjustment; 25 others got a fake adjustment. The result, publishe...d in the Journal of Human Hypertension, found those patients who got the real thing saw their blood pressure drop dramatically, an average of 17 points. That's equivalent to giving patients two different blood pressure medications at once, said Dr. George Bakris, M.D. Read More

@adioflo No problem. Take Toggle Recoil for an example; same x-ray prtocol to assess an atlas listing and a very similar spinal adjustment....so what gives/

[adioflo]

@chiropractic47 An honest question for real discussion and no attacking ... I would like for you to relate to me your understanding of what the collectively similar objectives that exist between upper cervical techniques? I feel I may be able to ultimately share with you what I leaned and now live as part of my life and stand behind as an honest and forthright doctor everyday ... and what that is what the diffferences are between UC techs, just like other techs. Anyway...please explain your side

[adioflo]

@chiropractic47 Except that was not toggle recoil man ... just saying ... not trying to be a jerk.

[adioflo]

@docbrok UH, HUH any more unfounded facts to throw around ... why don't you tell me the exact # of NUCCA patients you receive. We'll all believe you then for sure man.

You know what is saddest about you is that we should and could be working together. I don't spinal manipulate using Diversified and I'm no good at it .... I don't really want to be. Others are very good at it. I work currently co-managing cases with 8 other chiros from outside of the city of STL. We refer and cooperate not pretend

@adioflo I love Nucca docs... chiropractic47... I get many of their patients in my area due to their lack of results and incompetence. I feel bad for you adioflo and other Nucca docs that think like you.

Funny... my first patient in The best chiropractic college.. Life Chiropractic College clinic 16 years ago had severe hypertension that no meds ever decreased 200/140. Toggle on atlas and immediately dropped 20 points... in 2 weeks we had the diastolic down significantly. Chiropractic works!!

@chiropractic47 Wow you are pretty cool you see 500 people a week ... guess you spend a lot of time with them and they get a lot of attention. So you know the top two reasons why people leave a doctor. 1. They don't listen & 2. They don't care. Good luck with that one.

How bout we try to keep these conversations adult and scientifically based ...

or I could come up with some juvenile small minded insults too!

[adioflo]

@docbrok I feel bad for YOUR PATIENTS AND COMMUNITY! Being so ignorant as to what chiropractic research is out there. Diversified studies have FAILED to produce any results like these. Yourself and the rest of chiropractic is trying to adopt it as their own to make money!

Please explain how a profession that lauds the fact there are so many various methods to have all these "tools in your toolbelt" and yet when a specific procedure is actually validated...oh wait we're all the same. You = BS;)

[adioflo]

@chiropractic47 That is wrong ... they do not all achieve the same result with the same consistency and it definitely should be stated they are not the same in terms of the application of force to the body. I'll even gladly take the high road here and not point out which ones are gentle and which ones blast the spine into shock. I'll leave that up to interested parties to research on their own.

[chiropractic47]

All chiropractic schools teach upper cervical techniques, thus all chiropractic doctors learn an upper cervical technique. NUCCA looks, behaves, and achieves the same results of the other upper cervical techniques...been there...done that.

[chiropractic47]

Toggle recoil and NUCCA, Atlas Orthogonal are three common chiropractic upper cervical techniques that focus on the same area of the spine and achieve the same results.
