Chiropractic restores mobility

Chiropractors use their hands to make spinal adjustments, along with massage, traction and exercise, to properly align the body’s musculoskeletal structure. These chiropractic adjustments restore mobility to joints, caused perhaps by falling over, a car accident, a sports injury or repetitive stress.

Study on Neck Pain

In a study published in the British Medical Journal, 183 patients with neck pain were randomly allocated either chiropractic treatment (with massage, exercise and education), physiotherapy (mainly exercise) or general practitioner care (drugs, counseling and education) in a 52-week study. The clinical outcome showed that chiropractic adjustments resulted in faster recovery than physiotherapy and general practitioner care.
