Here’s 5 surprising benefits of Chiropractic care and getting adjusted.
Improved blood pressure: According to a 2014 study published in the Journal of Hypertension, SMT can significantly lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension (high blood pressure) without any adverse effects. (Reference: Goertz, C. M., Salsbury, S. A., Vining, R. D., Long, C. R., Andresen, A. A., Jones-Harris, A. R., ... & Lyons, K. J. (2014). Effect of spinal manipulation of upper cervical vertebrae on blood pressure: results of a pilot sham-controlled trial. Journal of hypertension, 32(2), 437-444.)
Improved immune function: According to a 2010 study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, SMT can stimulate the immune system and increase the production of white blood cells, which play a key role in fighting infections. (Reference: Teodorczyk-Injeyan, J. A., McGregor, M., Ruegg, R., & Injeyan, H. S. (2010). Interleukin 2-regulated in vitro antibody production following a single spinal manipulative treatment in normal subjects. Chiropractic & osteopathy, 18(1), 26.)
Improved athletic performance: According to a 2018 study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, SMT can improve athletic performance by increasing range of motion, decreasing muscle tension, and improving muscle activation. (Reference: Horsley, I., Rampello, A. J., & Atkinson, S. P. (2018). Effects of spinal manipulation on performance-related outcomes in healthy adults: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials. Journal of strength and conditioning research, 32(7), 2231-2241.)
Improved breathing function: According to a 2019 study published in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science, SMT can improve lung function and breathing in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). (Reference: Fernández-Carnero, J., Mayoral-Del-Moral, O., De-la-Llave-Rincón, A. I., Salom-Moreno, J., Ortega-Santiago, R., & Cleland, J. A. (2019). Short-term effects of spinal thrust joint manipulation on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a randomized controlled trial. Journal of physical therapy science, 31(6), 480-486.)
Improved digestive function: According to a 2016 study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, SMT can improve bowel function and reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). (Reference: Manheimer, E., Cheng, K., Wieland, L. S., Minzter, B. H., Shen, X., Berman, B. M., & Lao, L. (2016). Acupuncture for irritable bowel syndrome: systematic review and meta-analysis.
