“I’ve been to a number of different chiropractors, who utilized a number of different techniques. This technique has by far, the most long lasting and immediate results.”
In the April 26, 2004 issue of the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research, a literature review is highlighted that documents the health benefits of chiropractic care to people who have no symptoms.
Vertebral subluxations are misalignments of the small bones of the spine that interfere with the nervous system, the primary communications system between the brain and the body, which ultimately determines overall body function and health.

Vertebral subluxations are misalignments of the small bones of the spine that interfere with the nervous system, the primary communications system between the brain and the body, which ultimately determines overall body function and health.
Chiropractors have long maintained that people should not wait until symptoms appear before seeking chiropractic care to address their aches and pains: that keeping the body free of interference due to subluxations is the best ways to help the body function better with better health as a result.
One way to test this is to take people who have no symptoms, put them under chiropractic care, and then monitor various body systems, such as the immune system, heart rate, and respiration, for improved function.
The author of this study reports that the available research does indeed “lend strong support to the popular contention that chiropractic adjustments, for the purpose of correcting subluxations, confer health benefits to people regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms.”
More than 20 research articles collectively document “significant improvements in respiration, range of motion, heart rate variability and autonomic function, endocrine function, cardiovascular function, immune function, muscle strength and overall athletic ability of “health,” or specific function for “normal” individuals.” Improvements were also noted in “reaction-time and information processing, visual acuity, stress and reproductive hormones, healing/recovery time, general health of senior citizens, and reduced labor times of pregnant women following or during chiropractic care.”
The author concludes that since “these initial findings document objectively measured physiologic changes and their associated health benefits in nearly every major system of the human body, it is plausible that chiropractic care may benefit every function of the body.”
