Dr.Bob,DC's Journal: Chiropractic Care for Schizophrenia

[ excerpts from http://www.meridianinstitute.com/mh/schizch8.html ]

Schizophrenia is on the rise. It has become a worldwide epidemic of illness. There has been research showing benefit when proper Chiropractic care is applied to those afflicted with this dreaded disorder.
 
Most adjustments take place high up at C1-C2 and C2-C3. Getting the flow of the nervous system to peak efficiency is key in treating Schizophrenia.
 
 

When the suggestions were consistently followed, however, positive results were usually obtained. The extensive documentation of osteopathic and chiropractic successes using comparable models is intended to provide some clinical cross-validation of Cayce's approach. The only way to fully remedy the problem of insufficient direct validation is to replicate the treatments suggested by Cayce in a contemporary setting. With this in mind, Chapter 6 proposed a therapeutic model which addressed these issues and provided a means of empirical validation.

Briefly, these alternatives can be regarded as stress management programs or manual therapy models (as derived from the osteopathic and chiropractic literature). The intentional resemblance of the proposed therapeutic model (institutional format) in Chapter 6 to many community mental health programs provides an open door for various alternative applications.
