A special chiropractic adjustment can significantly lower high blood pressure, a placebo-controlled study suggests.

1 in 3 Canadian adults suffer from high blood pressure. Instead of taking prescription medication, simply realigning the spine and letting the body heal naturally can significantly lower blood pressure.

At the top of the neck sits the C1 vertebra which is connected to the brain stem. If this nerve is twisted or irritated in any way, it affects the regulation of blood pressure.

A study was conducted after 25 people had the adjustment and 25 had a fake adjustment. After a single treatment, those who received the adjustment still maintained their low blood pressure 8 weeks later. But no one knows exactly how long this treatment is effective for.

Only a handful of chiropractors are qualified to perform this type of treatment.  To see if your c1 vertebra is out of alignment, an x-ray must be taken by a chiropractor to determine this.  

Every one of all ages from children to adults is eligible to receive chiropractic care through a consultation.

The Barrhaven Wellness Centre is owned and operated by Dr. Kahlid Mankal whom has been in practice for over 17 years. Dr. Mankal is certified to help care for those with high blood pressure specific chiropractic adjustments.
