KST A to Z
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Annette O’Neill, DC
Solihull, United Kingdom
My patient is a 66-year-old man with upper thoracic pain. He just wanted relief from neck pain! On examination, his blood pressure was 205/115.
William continued his chiropractic care, he improved steadily and he visibly relaxed in his posture and demeanor. He insisted he did not have time to go to the GP.
His blood pressure readings showed steady improvement over successive visits (161/101, 173/100, 137/78, 134/84, 155/81, 134/90, 156/90). After 12 visits, his BP was 125/75!
Progress review: Neck pain gone, posture much more relaxed, range of movement markedly improved. William was very happy and reported feeling much more relaxed. His daughter later told me he never had pain since and still raves about chiropractic.
