"A study in the October 2005 Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics showed that when it comes to lower back pain, chiropractic care provided significantly better outcomes than standard medical care. Patients with chronic lower back pain who underwent chiropractic treatment had higher levels of satisfaction with the care, lower disability scores, and higher pain relief than those who underwent medical treatment. To top it off, chiropractic care was more cost effective overall. If you've never experienced bad back pain, you're one of the lucky ones." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"Does medical assistance cover chiropractic care?" Dr. Greg Olson: "The way that the health system is designed, the first thing to drop out is chiropractic. And yet this is what the patient needs in order to go back to work. If he is given an option of going back to work or continuing on with a medical condition, he would choose going to work and becoming productive in society again. Modern medicines don't offer this kind of medical help when it comes to problems with the body being out of alignment." "You say you also specialize in treating athletes. Do you like sports?"

"A controlled clinical trial compared traditional medical and chiropractic care for CTS.24 People with CTS received either standard medical care (ibuprofen and nighttime wrist supports) or chiropractic care (manipulation of the wrist, elbow, shoulder, neck, and spine, as well as massage to the soft tissues). Ultrasound and nighttime splints were also used in the chiropractic treatments. People in both groups improved significantly and similarly in terms of pain reduction, increased function, and improved finger sensation and nerve function, but the chiropractic group reported fewer side effects." - Alan R.

"It was proven in court that the chiropractic care and options are actually more effective than anything the American Medical Association doctors could provide in the form of surgery or drugs. chiropractic care is proven and more effective than any drugs or surgeiy. WebMD is simply lying to you. Likewise, studies show that omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oils lower levels of blood fats and triglycerides. But WebMD's cholesterol health center refers only to the benefits of eating fish, but never discusses the inexpensive alternative to the lipitors, which are fish oils. This is why www." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.) "WebMD's health guide reference on back pain goes into great detail about medications, surgery, and even experimental therapies like botox, but devotes just two sentences to chiropractic care saying that it's unproven! This is a flag;rant lie. The Chiropractic Association sued the American Medical Association in the state of Illinois over the statements made by the American Medical Association that chiropractic care was unproven, unsafe, and ineffective against back pain. In the courts it was proven the exact opposite is true." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"In addition to anecdotal evidence of the benefits of chiropractic care, a major US government agency, the Agency for Health Care Policy Research, announced in the mid-1990s that chiropractic therapy works for many patients, at least for musculoskeletal problems.

"I get massage, chiropractic care, live cell therapy, energetic rebalancing, etc. I virtually do all the things listed in Chapter Six of my first book. I am not a good customer for the drug companies. Is there a place for drugs, surgery, and western medical treatment? Absolutely yes! The way I see it, drugs and surgery are incredibly effective in crisis situations when the patient is dying, and when a person is so far engulfed in illness and disease that only these aggressive treatments can stop the patient from dying, relieve symptoms, and make the patient more comfortable." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"It doesn't want things like chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage therapy, or other so-called "alternative therapies" to be covered by insurance, because that would give consumers a choice. Given that choice, most consumers would opt for the natural, more healthful therapies, rather than the damaging, toxic medical therapies now offered by conventional medicine.

"Many people lump all of the "alternative" medicines and activities into this concept, so holistic health comes to mean acupressure, acupuncture, herbal medicines, meditation, vitamin supplements, chiropractic care, yoga, aromatherapy, Feng Shui, massage and even sound therapy. Conceptually, I believe in holistic health, but not as a catchphrase for every unconventional and oftentimes unproven medicine around. Food and nutrition, for example, are of primary importance to our health." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M.

"For example, one user weighing various options for relieving back pain inquires why WebMD's treatment section on back pain barely mentioned chiropractic care. Would it not be reasonable to at least touch on the subject? Likewise, another WebMD user observes that in WebMD's cholesterol information section there is no discussion at all about fish oil supplements, a therapy that has been proven to reduce cholesterol. The outrage is that WebMD gives false and misleading information about these alternatives." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Once the health insurance industry began underwriting chiropractic care, patients with backache who turned to chiropractors were likely to return more frequendy, for longer periods, and with greater satisfaction than if they had chosen to see either a primary care physician or an orthopaedist. There is no difference in cost between these categories of providers because the frequency of visits to chiropractors compensates for their relatively reduced costliness." - Nortin M. Hadler, The Last Well Person: How to Stay Well Despite the Health-Care System (Get the book.)

Cutler, Winning the War Against Asthma and Allergies (Get the book.)

"Most people recognize chiropractic care for spinal manipulation or adjustment. Whether an injury is from a single event such as lifting something heavy or from a repetitive stress of poor posture, the result is physical and chemical changes that restrict the movement of the spine. Manipulation, whether manual or by device, restores mobility which reduces pain, muscle tightness and inflammation so the body can heal." - Alan E. Smith, UnBreak Your Health: The Complete Guide to Complementary & Alternative Therapies (Get the book.) "USER COMMENTS: "If you've ever found yourself on your hands and knees in pain you probably already know how effective chiropractic care can be. Whether it's too much yard work or simply "zigging when you should've zagged" there is nothing like the pain of nerves in the spine! "Chiropractors will begin with X-rays and then a careful examination of your entire back. If conditions warrant an adjustment then they'll usually massage the back with a machine to relax the muscles so they'll move more easily." - Alan E. Smith, UnBreak Your Health: The Complete Guide to Complementary & Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)

"The fact that patients with back pain attended by chiropractors are more pleased with the service than patients of other providers has been demonstrated in many other studies, including the ucla study (Hertzman-Miller and colleagues, "Comparing the Satisfaction of Low Back Pain Patients Randomized to Receive Medical or chiropractic care," 2002). This differential is generally ascribed to the fact that chiropractors speak with their patients and explain their therapeutic premises empathetically and definitively." - Nortin M.

"Over the last 20 years through chiropractic care, I have been able to lead a fairly normal life. However, the pain has increased because spurring has advanced and degeneration has occurred in certain areas of the spine. Then I learned about mangosteen juice. I was given an ounce of the juice, and that was the beginning of a major change in my health, my life and my career. I have implemented this product in my clinic and recommended its use to my patients with incredible results. Never have I encountered a natural fruit so powerful that it could do the job of so many other herbs." - Dr. David W.
