We believe in the power of chiropractic care to allow the nervous system to help the body be self-regulating, and self-healing. The spinal column is designed to protect the vital connection between the nervous system and the body. Therefore, an optimal functioning spine and nervous system equals optimal health. Today the research says it all.
The following chiropractic research shows how specific, scientific chiropractic care has the ability to help with all types of health concerns. This is just small sample of issues that chiropractic care can help. If there is a health concern which you do not see listed below but would like to know if chiropractic can help you; please contact our office and we will be more than happy to discuss your particular situation.
THE WINSOR AUTOPSIES
Can an Unhealthy Spine Affect Internal Organs?
At the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Henry Winsor conducted an experiment based on chiropractors claim that by adjusting the vertebrae they can relieve stomach troubles, ulcers, menstrual cramps, thyroid conditions, kidney disease, constipation, heart disease, lung and other diseases. In this experiment he dissected both human and animal cadavers to see if there was any relationship between any diseased internal organs discovered on autopsy and the vertebrae and nerves that went to the organs. Dr. Winsor dissected 75 human and 72 cat cadavers. He found nearly 100% correlation between minor curvatures of the vertebrae and diseases of the internal organs.
