Stranger Than Fiction
First of all, let me say that I am a chiropractor who believes in the efficacy of chiropractic treatment in every cell, fiber, and tissue of my being. I have personally witnessed seeming “miracle recoveries” in my many years of practice. But, I just read a recent study about how chiropractic care can help cancer patients that actually blew me away. Let me elaborate…
A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics examined the case of a 54-year-old man fighting lung cancer (a cancer often related to asbestos exposure). One year after undergoing surgery to remove his cancer, the man was still in excruciating pain and went to see a chiropractor. Immediately after beginning chiropractic treatment, the man experienced pain relief and, soon after, discontinued use of all pain medications.
Chiropractors strongly believe in the ability of every body to heal itself no matter what the condition may be. Chiropractic works in many wondrous ways. And, according to this recently published study, it can alleviate severe headaches and movement pains during cancer treatment and may make the treatment process more comfortable for cancer patients.
