Scientific Medical Journal
Reports on Nerve Pressure
Spine magazine, a well-respected medical journal,
published a study from Texas Woman’s University in their
January 15, 1999, issue. The report appears to verify
what chiropractors have been saying for over 100 years.
Although the study was complex, researchers tested
something known as the "H-Reflex" to measure the effect
of pressure on spinal nerves. What they found was that
pressure on spinal nerves, (chiropractors have referred
to this as subluxation), causes measurable changes in
the H-reflex. This shows a change in nerve function due
to pressure on nerves.
Although this study is good, it only serves to verify
prior chiropractic research on subluxation. In two
separate studies, it was shown that as little as 10 to
45 millimeters of mercury pressure, (the weight of a
coin on your hand), placed on the nerve root was enough
to change the nerve impulses by 40 to 60 percent in
minutes. This kind of research is good, but it only
serves to verify what chiropractic patients have known
for over 100 years. Chiropractic Works!
