For those who do need proof, clinical studies, dozens of them, have shown that
chiropractic care is very effective for a variety of conditions, not just back and
neck pain. Here's a list of just a few of the bigger ones:
1979 The New Zealand Report - a government study originally intended to
discredit chiropractic, after two years of worldwide study, published a 3000
page report recommending that chiropractic should be added to the national
health program.
1986 OCHAMPUS STUDY U.S. Dept. of Defense, a 50-year study concluded
that chiropractic adjustments increased mobility and shortened the duration
of treatment
1987 Italian Study - Static Clinics, Milano 70,000 chiropractic patients evaluated
showed faster recovery from injury, less time loss from work. Chiropractic is
included in Italy's socialized medical package.
1990 Meade Study British Medical Journal Study of 1600 patients showed

neck pain
1993 The Manga Report, Canada Exhaustive review of current literature
