Can Chiropractic Care Reverse Heart Disease?
This might initially seem like crazy talk, but he is an expert and makes some excellent points about how chiropractic care can help a person that suffers from cardiovascular disease.
One very important point that he did not cover is that many lifestyle recommendations (diet, exercise, sleep, etc) that a good chiropractor makes can further improve risk factors.
In the article Dr. Wolfson, a cardiologist, talks about 6 ways chiropractic can help heart disease. Summary of Dr. Wolfson’s 6 points below…
1. Chiropractic Care lowers blood pressure.
2. Chiropractic Care improves nerve function of the heart through changes in autonomic innervation of the heart that goes to the 2 nodes of the heart that regulate rate and rhythm of the heart.
3. Chiropractic Care decreases blood markers of inflammation to reduce risk of heart attack or cardiovascular event.
4. Chiropractic Care improves heart rate variability.
5. Chiropractic Care decreases chest pain.
6. Chiropractic Care improves lung function.
Chiropractic can improve an individual’s ability to get a deeper breath by improving the mechanics of the chest wall.
