Chiropractic Improves Quality of Life

A recent study revealed that specific spinal adjustments to C1 (the upper-most vertebra in the spine) improved the quality of life for 19 patients that were diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).  The subjects were checked and adjusted, if necessary, for a period of 6 months and all showed a significant increase in general health.  This is encouraging for those that struggle with problems like CFS, since medically this can only be treated with drugs that simply cover up the symptoms, while creating other problems due to long-term side effects.  However, if your spine, especially C1, is subluxated or "out of sync," the nerve dysfunction which results can have far-reaching effects, especially if the problem persists for a long period.  For most people, subluxations are the result of trauma, but the effects are not always felt immediately.  So it is essential to have a chiropractic examination of your spine after any sort of trauma, physical or emotional, as the effects can be stored in your nervous system for years before you become aware of symptoms.
