Below is a summary of some of the research done in 2005 showing significant results with Chiropractic care:

• Chiropractic Care Best for Long-Term Relief for Spinal Pain (Jan. 2005). An Australian study including 40 patients. Each patient underwent nine weeks of treatment with only one of the following: chiropractic, acupuncture or medicine. After one year the subjects were re-evaluated using the same standard diagnostic measures as in the initial assessment. The analysis found that chiropractic adjustments were significantly more effective at providing broad-based long-term benefit.

• Chiropractic Helps Patients with Fibromyalgia (Jan. 2005). A significant number, 37 percent of people with Fibromyalgia visit a chiropractor, according to a new analysis of 263 women and 26 men with the disorder.

• Chiropractic Improves an Array of Conditions (June 2005). Researchers analyzed international data regarding the benefits of chiropractic care. The experiment surveyed 5,607 chiropractic patients in Canada, the US, Mexico, Hong Kong, Australia and South Africa. Researchers asked the patients about non-musculoskeletal concerns. The most common improvements were breathing (27 percent), digestion (26 percent) and circulation (21 percent).

• Chiropractic Alleviates Migraine (July 2005). An Australian Researcher reported that seventy-two (72) percent of migraine sufferers experience improvement after two months of chiropractic care. This is amazing due to the fact that on average the patients had suffered from migraines for 18 years.

• Chiropractic Mitigates Shoulder Injury (Sept. 2005). Four patients with a condition called shoulder impingement syndrome received chiropractic care. At one-month follow-up all patients continued to be symptom-free with full range of motion and complete return to daily activities.
