Dr.Bob,DC's Journal: Chiropractic, Subluxations and Depression

A documented case study appearing in the April 2008 issue of the periodical, the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research showed the improvement of a patient with major depression with chiropractic care.

In this case study a 46 year old man suffering from his third bout of major depression, presented himself for chiropractic adjustments.

In addition to the diagnosis of depression the man also had many symptoms related to his depression such as generalized bilateral neck and low back pain, anxiety, fatigue, and a small appetite. He was also suffering from the effects of the medications he was taking, which included a decrease in sex drive, dizziness, overall muscle weakness, and insomnia.

As noted in this case a 46-year-old occupational software support engineer presented for chiropractic care with the diagnosis of major depression and with the intention of improving his overall health. He was currently suffering his third bout of depression and was on medical leave due to this situation. The severity of his situation was highlighted by the addition of many symptoms related to his depression which included loss of appetite, malaise, fatigue, joint stiffness, neck pain, low back pain, as well as thoughts of suicide and anxiety. He was taking the medication Paxil which then added the symptoms of decreased libido, increased perspiration, weakness, and dizziness.

Chiropractic cured a man's depression, it's just one documented case of Chiropractic doing what Big Pharma drugs cannot!
