A recent study found that chiropractic care can improve sinus function and return the sense of smell.
The study, published in the summer 2009 Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health, conducted a case study of an 11-year-old girl who had suffered from persistent chronic sinusitis that had resulted in the loss of smell for a year.
Sinusitis causes build-up of mucus in the nasal cavity that restricts the function of the olfactory cells that give people their sense of smell.
Research shows that chiropractic may relieve arthritic pain. A study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, found that almost three-fourths of patients that visited a chiropractor for arthritis pain, felt relief. The research showed that 63 percent of patients suffering from arthritis used a form of complementary care and alternative medicine, with chiropractic being quite popular. Almost one-third of those patients visited a chiropractor at least once.
