Chiropractic Subluxation - No Supportive Evidence?


Hmmmm - I don't know about this - I swear by my chiropractic adjustments when my back feels out of sorts and not aligned! 

"No supportive evidence is found for the chiropractic subluxation being associated with any disease process or of creating suboptimal health conditions requiring intervention. Regardless of popular appeal, this leaves the subluxation construct in the realm of unsupported speculation. This lack of supportive evidence suggests the subluxation construct has no valid clinical applicability. [Mirtz TA and others.
