This white paper discusses the significance of the study published in the 2017 Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine titled “The Quality of Life of Children Under Chiropractic Care Using PROMIS-25: Results from a Practice-Based Research Network.” Stress is at an all-time high, and it influences more ages in more serious ways than ever before. Studies show that children today experience more stress and anxiety than institutionalized psychiatric patients did in the 1950’s. And these kids eventually turn into drugged-up adults. Nearly one in every four women over the age of 50 take an anti-depressant while over 13% of the entire population take mind-altering anti-psychotic medications. Implementation of strategies and activities that do not come with huge risks and unnecessary harm should be the focus of the medical system. Chiropractic offers a unique perspective and individualized care that can help curb the severity and course of depression and anxiety. This research ...

This white paper discusses the significance of the 2012 study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism called “Baseline sympathetic nervous system activity predicts dietary weight loss in obese metabolic syndrome subjects” . Many factors contribute to why some people cannot lose weight while implementing similar strategies to those who easily shed pounds. One major factor evaluated in this study was the tone and drive of the nervous system. Researchers evaluated a group of obese subjects who put the exact same weight loss strategies in place to drop weight. The findings were quite remarkable. One of the key ingredients to those who lost weight is very specific and unique to chiropractors. This research shines light on testimonies shared by millions of people over eleven decades who have experienced a promotion of weight loss after routine adjustments. The findings are as follows: ➢ The sympathetic nervous system is widely distributed throughout the bo...

This white paper discusses the significance of the 2009 study published in the Journal of Autonomic and Autacoid Pharmacology called “Is Noradrenaline an Etiological factor in a number of diseases?” as well as the 2011 study published in the Journal of Alternative Therapeutic Health Medicine called “Cerebral metabolic changes in men after chiropractic spinal manipulation.”  Improving physical fitness, transforming diet, weight loss, smoking cessation, helping others and greater life enjoyment are the most popular resolutions reported for 2018. New Year’s Resolutions are a big deal. Based on the percentages of resolutions not kept each year, any help to better achieve these commitments would be beneficial. Chiropractic adjustments can provide a unique advantage to helping people better achieve their self-created goals and commitments. The chiropractic adjustment has been shown to decrease stress hormones. And stress hormones have been linked to a list of conditions and lowered...

This white paper discusses the significance of the 2012 study published in the Journal of American Osteopathic Association called “Osteopathic manipulative treatment in pregnant women”.  Few areas of healthcare deserve safer and more effective approaches than pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Bringing babies into the world in the safest and least invasive methods should be the norm. Unfortunately, current statistics reveal the most developed and advanced countries in the world experience some of the worst outcomes. The United States ranks at the very bottom for maternal and infant health compared to every other developed and industrialized nation. The facts and stats are startling, and something must be done. Chiropractic can play a part. If a pill could be created that garnered the benefits of chiropractic along with its safety and efficacy, more soon-to-be mothers would utilize chiropractic and more newborns would have a safer and healthier start to their life . This speci...

  This white paper discusses the significance of the 1994 study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics called “Chiropractic management of primary nocturnal enuresis.” Bed-wetting is a struggle that plagues millions of children every year. Kids find it embarrassing and parents can find it extremely frustrating. It wears mentally and emotionally on the kids while the parents are burdened with the extra workload of nightly sleep disturbances, more laundry, and restrictions on the ability to allow kids to go to sleepovers. Most bed-wetting during the night occurs because children do recognize their need to urinate . There are many known causes, some of them even due to underlying psycho-social challenges . But many of them involve a nervous system “recognition” problem . Without the proper recognition triggered in the brain, the body has no ability to “hold” their bladder until reaching the bathroom. This is why and how chiropractic care has ...
