Hypertension is defined by blood pressure in excess of 160/90, measured on a patient at rest.
Several studies and numerous case reports demonstrate the effectiveness of chiropractic care in the management of hypertension.
As remarked by the researchers Weber et Masarsky, “Chiropractic adjustments should be considered in hypertensive patients, especially when vertebral dysfunctions are noted. Considering the effectiveness of chiropractic care, one must carefully monitor those patients that continue to take blood pressure drugs and may find themselves hypotensive..!”
