Research study finds chiropractic adjustments helped patients with dizziness

Researchers studying the relationship between chiropractic care and dizziness looked at the effects of chiropractic spinal adjustments over an 8 week period of time.
The patients were rated according to a “Dizziness Handicap Inventory.” Their original baseline scores had indicated that they reported significant dizziness. The results demonstrated 83% improvement or eradication of the dizziness as a direct result of chiropractic care. Researchers Hawk and Cambron report that more research is needed, but their findings suggest that chiropractic care may be a great option for patients with dizziness.
The implication goes further than that because when considering the dangerous side effects and unpredictability of prescription medications, chiropractic may just be one of the best solutions for these people.
