Yes!! ABC TVs Good Morning America proved it on a YouTube video(Click Here to watch the Video).  The research used the expertise of Dr. Marshall Dickholtz, Jr., a Chicago area Chiropractor, to test the effect of specific adjustments to the upper cervical spine. The study was to test the theory that adjustment could have a positive affect on blood pressure.      It did!, now WHY?  

The Medical Director for this University of Chicago Medical Research allowed Dr. Dickholtz to examine 50 Hospital patients. 25 received a real adjustment and 25 had fake adjustments. They each had only (1) adjustment and 8 weeks later those having the real adjustment still had lowered blood pressure. Impressive indeed! 

Headaches have multiple sources, some simple like dehydration, bright lights, heat, cold, constipation, poor sleep, too much sleep and not enough activity. Some more complicated like sinus congestion or infection, tooth abcesses, allergies, stress and vascular spasms or dilations and toxicities of many kinds.  There are a few caused by serious problems like brain tumors.  Fort Wayne Chiropractor's must be aware of all those and many more.  Many of those headaches can be related to subluxations.  Subluxations are vertebra that are misaligned and pinch the very nerves that were supposed to protect you from most of those stresses.  That is the job of the Chiropractor, locate and fix those subluxations which then allows your body to heal itself. 

Reduced range of motion (ROM) is often a problem to drivers, sports enthusiast,  and people used to having a good range of motion.  Most often the symptoms are dull and aching. 

“The Whole is only as good as the sum of its parts”

You have a company that runs like a machine.  1.Risk management, 2.productivity, 3.assets, 4.income, 5.liabilities are all to be considered.  If you know your numbers, then you know how reliant you are on the people representing 1. 2. and 5.  Have you assessed your “human capital” and the level of health, motivation, and happiness of the individuals in your organization?  Herein lies the greatest key to success of your company.  If your employees are not happy and healthy, not only can you not reach your maximum potential, but it is probably costing you a lot of money.  A couple serious Workers Compensation Claims and serious illnesses can raise your Health Insurance costs critically high.

Where is your weak link when you consider a wholistic evaluation of your company?

Many studies now exist on the money to be saved by having a certain level of health in your employees so that your health insurance costs are reduced.  Have you considered though the concept of corporate wellness referring to the overall productivity of your company?  If the employees in a company (or parts in a machine for that matter), are not functioning optimally, then the whole operation suffers.

The old joke is, "Nothing.  What has it done for me?"

Actually, a fever probably has done a lot for you.  Your body successfully fights many illnesses by creating a fever. Remember, your body made that fever, and there is probably a benefit. Robert Mendelssohn, M.D. routinely told patients to throw away their thermometers. Ancient medical wisdom says, "Give me a fever and I can cure anything."Years ago, at Park Ridge Hospital in Rochester, New York, I picked up a what-to-do-for-fever booklet.  It said that the hospital does not even treat a fever until it is over 102 degrees, and then only for the comfort of the patient.

So what do you do for a fever?  Well, first do nothing at all.  If it runs its course in a day or two, let it be.

If a fever is very high for very long, though, there is genuine cause for concern and for action.  Many days of a fever in excess of 104 degrees might result in heat seizures, kidney failure or a variety of other complications.  Fevers are not the trouble; they are the indicator of trouble. We need to deal with the cause of the fever and the fever will take care of itself. When I walk indoors shivering on a winter's day, I do not want muscle relaxants or pain killers.  I want warmth.  Get me warm, and my teeth will stop chattering on their own.  It is good to know WHY the body has a fever.
