High Blood Pressure and Chiropractic

Even high blood pressure (hypertension) can effectively be managed without the use of long-term drugs. As a matter of fact, check any label of a high blood pressure medication and it will state that the drug should not be used long-term. The medications are great for emergency situations, but are not intended to be a crutch for any individual! Your body was designed to function normally.



The Journal of Human Hypertension just released an article regarding the research on hypertension and chiropractic. The article states that adjustments of the Atlas (C1, or the bone at the top of the spine) effectively lowers blood pressure after a one-time specialized chiropractic adjustment. The effect was equal to taking two blood-pressure drugs at once!



Management of high blood pressure also includes: nutrition, homeopathy, specific diet specifications, and stress management. High blood pressure can effectively be managed by seeking treatment at Centra Chiropractic. We will collaborate with your medical doctor to stop your dependency upon medication.
