Research Shows That Addiction Can Be Improved By Chiropractic<\/span><\/p>

Dr. TJ Alger, Chiropractor and Owner of Chiropractic Essence in Council Bluffs, IA brings you the latest research about the benefits, cost-effectiveness and safety of chiropractic care on a range of health concerns. As always, feel free to discuss this material, along with any other topics with Dr. Alger and his chiropractic team.<\/strong><\/p>

Chiropractic and Addiction<\/span><\/p>

For over 100 years Doctors of Chiropractic have said that subluxation causes the body to lose its ability to adapt to the enviroment and that adjustments restore the bodies natural ability to adapt. However, our detracters have always held that we can\u2019t prove this tenent. Today\u2019s research clearly demonstrates how Chiropractic adjustments help people that have lost their ability to properly adapt to the environment. People who are addicted to the use of recreational drugs will go through an often painful process of withdrawal when they stop using. This withdrawal process is the primary reason an addict will fall out of addiction treatment program and begin using again. The withdrawal process is a clear indication of a body that is not properly adapting to a changing environment.<\/p>

Chiropractic Helps In Treatment Of Addicts<\/h2>

From the March 29, 2001 issue of the Miami Herald comes a story of how chiropractic care is helping those in a Miami drug addiction program. The story starts by explaining that patients in a residential drug-addiction program who received chiropractic care designed to realign their vertebrae completed the treatment program at a remarkable 100 percent rate.<\/p>

Ninety-eight patients at Miami\u2019s Exodus drug-treatment program participated in the study that was featured in a Journal of Nature magazine called \u201cMolecular Psychiatry\u201d. The study also reported that the patients involved in the study at the treatment center who received chiropractic care made fewer visits to a nurses\u2019 station and showed significant decreases in anxiety.<\/p>

Dr. Jay Holder, medical director of the Exodus program and the chiropractor who conducted the study said, \u201cCompleting a 28- to 30-day program greatly enhances an addict\u2019s chances of staying clean, but nationally only 72 percent of participants make it all the way through such programs.\u201d Holder went on to say, \u201cThis correction of what chiropractors call subluxation results in a sense of well-being that allows patients to benefit more thoroughly from the group therapy and medical care of addiction treatment.\u201d \u201cChiropractic does not treat addiction \u2014 it does not treat any disease,\u201d Holder said. \u201cWe\u2019re allowing those things that treat addiction to be embraced more thoroughly.\u201d<\/p>

The participants were divided into three groups. One group got the regular regime of addiction care. The second group got \u201csham\u201d (these patient\u2019s think they have received an adjustment but they have not) adjustments, while the third group got actual chiropractic adjustments to correct subluxations. The group with the regular care and the sham chiropractic had a completion rate in the program of only 74% and 56%. The group that received the chiropractic care to correct subluxations showed a completion rate of 100%. The implications of completion of a drug treatment program are very important to preventing addicts from returning to drugs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
