Worried About Swine Flu? Get To Your Chiropractor
If you are freaking out about the newest virus, consider the benefits of chiropractic.
In 1917, there was a flu epidemic across the nation and the world. In the midst of the tragedy, the benefits of chiropractic were undeniable! Take a look at these statistics.
Davenport, Iowa (home of Palmer College of Chiropractic)
MD: 4,953 cases, 274 deaths
DC: 1,635 cases, 1 death
Rest of Iowa
MD: 93,590 cases, 6,116 deaths – 1 patient out of every 15
DC: 4,735 cases, 6 deaths – 1 patient out of every 789
Similar numbers were reported in Oklahoma, New York and even France.
Why, you might ask, does chiropractic have anything to do with the flu? Chiropractic’s health benefits are much greater than the relief of back or neck pain, it is whole-body health care. It emphasizes the relationship between the spine and the nervous system, and how that relationship affects function and health. Spinal misalignments (known as vertebral subluxations) can interfere with the transmission of information from the brain, over the spinal cord and/or nerve roots to any and all systems of the body. The resulting altered information produces altered function and lowered resistance.
