...chiropractic work so well?
A three-year British study compared
traditional approaches to back
pain, with chiropractic. Their
published accounts in 1990 looked
into the long term effects of
chiropractic care. They concluded
that even after several years,
chiropractic was more effective
than care provided by medical
clinics.
In 1987, West German researchers
Gutmann and Frymann published
their study of 1250 five-day-old
babies. They found 211 were suffering
from vomiting, hyperactivity,
and sleeplessness.

Examination of their cervical spines revealed
95% had muscle strain. Using chiropractic
techniques to reduce the tension "frequently
resulted in immediate quieting, cessation
of crying, muscular relaxation and sleepiness."
A study by the state of Florida in 1988 showed
a 50% reduction in worker's compensation costs
and lost work time when chiropractic care
was used instead of traditional medical treatment.
Ask the 316 parents of a 1989 Danish study
of infants with colic, if chiropractic is
scientific! Chiropractic care helped 84% of
the cases. The report concluded that "spinal
manipulation of the vertebral column in infants
with infantile colic, constitutes an effective
treatment of the condition."
New Zealand government investigation into
chiropractic care found it "remarkably
safe".
In 1992, the RAND Corporation studied various
types of low back treatments and released
their findings at the meeting of the Society
of Orthopedic Surgeons.
A University of Washington study revealed
that as many as 50% of all back surgeries
are unnecessary or ineffective!
A 1972 Oregon Worker's Compensation study
revealed that injured workers who received
chiropractic care recovered twice as fast
as traditional medical approaches.

Study after study confirms the success of
chiropractic for many types of health complaints.
Because chiropractic doctors help restore
nervous system function, watch for research
findings in the areas of aging, genetics,
and immune system response.
