Did you know that chiropractic care can help with hypertension, also known as, high blood pressure? A study was done on fifty volunteers with high blood pressure and a misaligned atlas vertebrae(the first bone in our neck). Half of the participants received an adjustment, the other half received a placebo adjustment. After 8 weeks, the placebo group got a slight improvement and the group that got adjustments had substantial improvement in blood pressure, far surpassing what is usually seen in tests of single blood pressure medicines.

That’s pretty amazing when you consider that cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. At In Touch Wellness Center, Phoenix chiropractor , Dr. Angelo Pisano carefully assesses each of his patients to determine the condition of their spine and to see if chiropractic care is right for them. Remember, a healthy spine equals a healthy body.
