Researching Chiropractic. How many people who are suffering, reliant on medication on drugs, and facing a life of limitation could be helped by chiropractic care? Probably most of them.
Migraines in a 16-year-old Girl
A 16-year-old girl had been complaining of migraines since kindergarten. She was experiencing migraines 1-2 times per week, each attack lasting approximately 2-3 hours. Under medical care, she had an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), a CT scan (computer axial tomography), and a dental consultation. Nothing was found.
She consulted with a chiropractor. Chiropractic analysis revealed an atlas (C-1) subluxation. The patient received five adjustments to the atlas. She was able to stop using medications as her headaches reduced to 2-4 per month. (1)
Drop Attacks on a 23-year-old Man
A 23-year-old male complaining of drop attacks and daily nausea, vomiting, severe headaches, and back pain for five years began chiropractic care.
After one month of care, the patient reported a resolution of drop attacks, daily vomiting, and other symptoms. (2)
Seizures and Delays in Cognitive Development in a Two-Year-Old Boy
A 2-year-old boy suffered from seizures, behavioral disturbances, and cognitive developmental delays following a head trauma.
He was experiencing 1-3 seizures per week and sometimes up to 3 seizures per day. In addition, he was combative, angry, and uncooperative with his parents and had a developmental delay in his language use.
His parents brought the child in for chiropractic care fifteen months after his injury. A chiropractic examination revealed a subluxation of the C1 (atlas) vertebra. The patient had a total of seven visits over a five-and-a-half-month period.
There was an improvement and eventual cessation of his seizures and an improvement in the patient’s behavior and cognitive development. (3)
