Hypertension and Chiropractic
Possible Treatment for Hypertension without Medication

Austin based chiropractor, Dr Wendee Whitehead uses a specialized upper cervical procedure that in recent studies has been proven to reduce blood pressure in many patients. According to Dr. Whitehead, this study documented what upper cervical doctors see daily. More studies are needed to document the other effects we see from upper cervical adjusting. The body is an incredible healing machine, we are designed to be healthy, as the interference is removed from our nervous system, our bodies healing potential is maximized.
