Two recent studies point to significant success at reducing blood pressure levels without medication. Evidence suggests that self-therapy and upper cervical specific chiropractic care can increase health benefits to hypertensive patients.
Last year’s Scientific Meeting and Expo, sponsored by the American Society of Hypertension, revealed a report from the University of Florence in Italy that disclosed how daily intervals of soothing music were conducive to reduced systolic blood pressure. 28 of 48 volunteers who were receiving medication for hypertension listened to soothing music for 30 minutes while performing breathing exercises once a day for 30 days. Results from the study linked a significant reduction in blood pressure to this daily routine, as compared to the 20-member control group.
The results have been supported by many cardiologists and healthcare professionals since then, who clearly understand the benefits such therapeutic input can have for the sympathetic nervous system, which helps control blood pressure.
A study with similar goals was reported by George Bakris, MD, head of the hypertension center at the University of Chicago, in a 2008 issue of the Journal of Human Hypertension. Half of the 50 patients who participated were given simple chiropractic adjustments to the C-1 vertebra, a key cervical component of the upper spine. Eight weeks after the adjustment, the 25 people showed an average decrease in blood pressure of 17 points, worthy of the power of two medications with conventional treatment.
Bakris and others believe if this so-called Atlas vertebra is injured or misaligned, it creates neurological signals that restrict arterial blood flow, particularly where the skull meets the spine. He is opening his study to further research to determine the significance of his findings.
The implications of these studies point to the importance of regular chiropractic screening for optimum health. The fragility of the Atlas and Axis vertebrae make it necessary to closely monitor changes in how we feel and function. A number of seemingly common ailments can be traced to improper alignment and the associative dysfunction of our nervous system. The doctors at The Specific Chiropractic Center are trained to help you to determine whether or not you have nervous system dysfunction and can be benefitted by upper cervical specific chiropractic.

The benefits of upper cervical specific care is benefited for blood pressure, it is also been beneficial for the health of the body and brain. The blood vessels will also begin to clear out, and as a result of that osteoporosis also begins to reverse as mineralization of the bone can receive nourishment from the blood stream. Further more an upper cervical specific doctor eliminated a person’s lock jaw with the first adjustment. I know that this at this point in time sounds amazing to you. But things like lupus have been helped.
By reason of all of the problems that have been helped with out drugs leads me to believe that we have been duped about a lot of things. No mater how outrageous you think a problem is that you have go to one of these doctors, and things should begin to improve. Atlas should be if need untwisted untilted and positioned so that the atlas is in a level and neutral position under the foramen magnum. Adjustments are painless and the head is in a stable and neutral position. Ether turned to one side right or left, as in the knee chest technique or body on its side and hand near the arm pit, or grasping you sleeve head slightly tilted according to the individual. This kind of care is the best kind of preventative care too. One should not wait for pain etc. Imbalances in the body can show up as a real problem in the body years later, and when you wait for that you are also allowing damage to occur to your body.
All ages should do this even infants need an adjustment. It is extremely gentle and is only done if needed.
The applications that these doctors have are virtually endless.
The only ones you don’t want are chiropractors that practice capitation. That is popping of the joints. They will put you in awkward positions, forcing vertebra to move their hand up and down the spine, and may times it will hurt. I know I went through that a long time ago. Never again.
Use upper cervical specific only http://www.upcspine.com and http://www.thespecific.com are two good web pages. There are others, NUCCA is also good. Contact me and I can tell you more.
