At the end of the calendar year, Dr. Smith reviews the past year’s research on chiropractic and shares the most cutting-edge studies with patients.  Many studies focused on the role of vertebral subluxations in wellness.  Vertebral subluxations are areas in the spine where motion is restricted or bones (vertebrae) are out of alignment.  Dr. Smith corrects vertebral subluxations using gentle maneuvers called chiropractic adjustments.

Here is a sampling of the landmark chiropractic research published involving adults.

• Chiropractic adjustments may lower tumor necrosis factor
• Adjustments boost golfers’ performance
• Adjustments may cure irritable bowel syndrome
• Chiropractic care alleviates fibromyalgia
• Chiropractic mitigates dizziness and balance problems
• Chiropractic may be helpful for hypothyroidism
• Chiropractic for older patients
• A single chiropractic adjustment may cut headache pain by 75 percent
• Chiropractic more effective than massage for neck pain
