5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely A Must-Read, March 19, 2004

This review is from: Somatovisceral Aspects of Chiropractic: An Evidence-Based Approach, 1e (Hardcover)

I also am a chiropractor and I have to disagree with the other chiropractor's opinion. I have personally witnessed and hear about chiropractic miracles every day. These are related to conditions other than pain syndromes and musculoskeletal problems. Patients who experience a multitude of visceral problems and symptoms somehow see a reduction in/elimination of these problems and symptoms. So the question is why/how does this happen? This book helps us to answer some of these questions. There are many other sources to check regarding this, including numerous research articles. Check for yourself, the research is out there and accessible. As a society, we are becoming more and more unhealthy, even though we are living longer due to modern technology. The bottom line is, there are many questions that continue to need to be answered, but let's not close the door and our minds to the possibilities that already exist and that will continue to become less of a secret and become more well known and accepted.

This review is from: Somatovisceral Aspects of Chiropractic: An Evidence-Based Approach, 1e (Hardcover)

Our nervous system is the communication channel between our brain and it's end organs, (stomach, lungs, kidneys, etc) if the nerves are not able to get proper signal back and forth, what would any reasonable, thinking, non-biased, person expect to have happen to the body? It's really,just common sense. The book is very helpful in illustrating how the process occurs.

This book is a must-have for every chiropractor. If you think chiropractic is just about back and neck pain, think again. The authors have compiled an impressive collection of literature demonstrating the far-reaching effects of chiropractic care.
