• Dramatic improvements in health
• Enhanced well being
• Relief of pain
• Extraordinary results

The mission of RCS – the only private-sector chiropractic research company in the world is to validate and publish scientific evidence about these remarkable results.

Over the next few years, thousands of doctors of chiropractic will compile important data from hundreds of thousands of volunteers for the largest population – based, quality of life wellness study ever conducted.

Proof Positive

We’ll soon have the evidence to conclusively demonstrate chiropractic’s positive role in:

• Maximizing overall health
• Improving quality of life
• Raising Healthier children
• Strengthening the immune-system
• Addressing stress-related disorders such as hypertension, allergies, asthma, arthritis and depression
• Decreasing health care costs

Preliminary research and clinical observations already show that chiropractic care can influence these things—and more! RCS will significantly add to our understanding of chiropractic’s many benefits.

• Changing the Way the World Views Health
• Most experts will tell you there is a lot more to being healthy than just feeling good.
• The university of California , Berkeley, gives one of the best definitions when it states: ”Wellness…is optimal physical, mental, and emotional well-being, a preventive way of living that reduces-sometimes even eliminates-the need for remedies.
• Wellness emphasizes personal responsibility for making the life-style choices and self care decisions that will improve the quality of your life.
• Wellness is a positive, day-to-day approach to a long, healthful, active life.”

Chiropractic and Wellness

Chiropractic is considered a powerful tool in the search for true wellness. It goes beyond simply treating symptoms and instead seeks to address the cause of the problem. The key factor in many health issues is a form of interference to proper body function known as vertebral subluxation.

RCS research focuses on the devastating effects of subluxations on health and wellness.

Volunteering for RCS research

To complete this research, we need volunteers—Men and women, adults and children, young and old, athletes and office workers, healthy people and those with diagnosed conditions.

As a volunteer, you will receive:

A complete history and initial chiropractic examination at no charge. This is the same exam provided to all new patients seeking chiropractic care.

A full report of findings along with a free Vitality Wellness Index Report, customized for you. This report shows the results of your exam and compares how you “stack up” to the general population in terms of wellness.

Our appreciation and gratitude. RCS volunteers are contributing to a critical body of knowledge that will shape the future of health care throughout the world.

Besides the initial exam, volunteers complete the online RCS “Self Reported Quality of Life” study.

A follow-up visit is needed to review the results of the examination and to give the Vitality Wellness Index report.

There is never a charge for the participation in the RCS research evaluation.

Participants are under no obligation to accept any health care services and may withdraw from the study at any time.

If chiropractic care is desired, separate arrangements must be made with the RCS Authorized Research Site.
