Opdahl Chiropractic: A CREATING WELLNESS CENTER
A research study published in the November 7, 2005 issue of
the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research, showed a
positive result in the care of individuals with depression.
For the purpose of this study subjects were selected on the
basis of being over 18 years of age and having depression
noted in their medical history file. Fifteen participants
completed the study and were used in determining the
results.
In the discussion section of the study, it was noted that
the concept of chiropractic cares' role in mental health
was not a new idea. In fact it was reported that two major
chiropractic psychiatric hospitals functioned successfully
for nearly thirty years in Davenport, Iowa.
The subjects of this study were given a standardized test
known as the Beck Depression Inventory (aka BDI-II) both
before and after receiving specific chiropractic care for
correction of subluxations. To be consistent, the same
process of analysis and techniques of correction were used
in correcting the subluxations determined to be present.
Before and after x-rays were also used to determine the
presence and correction of the subluxations.
The results showed a significant improvement of the average
BDI-II scores of the group. Lower BDI-II are considered
better than higher scores. The higher the level the more
severe the depression. The group as a whole scored a 17 in
the BDI-II before chiropractic. After chiropractic care for
correction of their subluxations the groups average score
improved to 8.
On an individual basis, eleven participants experienced
marked improvement, two had minimal improvement while 2
participants scored worse on the follow up test. The
researchers noted that this research tested and supported
the hypothesis that chiropractic correction of the
subluxation complex reduced depressive symptomatology.
The researchers concluded by stating, "This study's results
provide support for the hypothesis that a positive
relationship exists between a correction of the
occipitoatlantoaxial subluxation complex and a reduction in
depressive symptoms in some people."
