This article which was printed in WebMD and was reported in the Journal of Human Hypertension, reports what I have been saying for nearly 25 years now.  Nearly every patient that comes in the office with high blood pressure greatly has their BP lowered and most often is able to have their doctor take them off of medication.  When the body is balanced it doesn't need dangerous and often deadly medication. 

Medication never corrects the problem.  In fact if you have high blood pressure and you are on medication - do you still have high blood pressure? OF COURSE YOU DO!!  But if you get the body functioning the way its supposed to function and the blood pressure lowers to normal - do you still have high blood pressure - NO!!  Blood pressure is controlled by the brain which monitors little pressure gauges at the end of nerves called baroreceptors - which tell the brain what kind of pressure there is, then the brain tells the kidney to either add more water to the blood, which raises pressure or to take water out of the blood which lowers pressure - but all of this is under the control of the nerve system -- which is why Chiropractic has such incredible and profound results with High Blood Pressure.

 

Chiropractic Cuts Blood Pressure

March 16, 2007 -- A special chiropractic adjustment can significantly lower high blood pressure, a placebo-controlled study suggests.

"This procedure has the effect of not one, but two blood-pressure medications given in combination," study leader George Bakris, MD, tells WebMD. "And it seems to be adverse-event free. We saw no side effects and no problems," adds Bakris, director of the University of Chicago hypertension center.

Eight weeks after undergoing the procedure, 25 patients with early-stage high blood pressure had significantly lower blood pressure than 25 similar patients who underwent a sham chiropractic adjustment. Because patients can't feel the technique, they were unable to tell which group they were in.

X-rays showed that the procedure realigned the Atlas vertebra -- the doughnut-like bone at the very top of the spine -- with the spine in the treated patients, but not in the sham-treated patients.
