Inflammation plays a major roles in low back pain, arthritis, and many other disease pathologies. Below is a study investigating the relationship between chiropractic adjustments and inflammation:
“SMT-treated subjects show a time-dependent attenuation of LPS-induced production of the inflammatory cytokines unrelated to systemic levels of SP. This suggests SMT-related down-regulation of inflammatory-type responses via a central yet unknown mechanism.”
- J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 2006.
In this study individuals receiving a single session of spinal adjustment demonstrated an objective decrease of inflammation. This partly explains why Chiropractic is effective for people suffering from pain and loss of function.
