Stress Research
• Rockefeller University researched chronic stress:
- Allostatic load (joint stress to cerebellum; pre-stress) was measured over 2 years.
- Highest allostatic load group had 500% increase in heart disease.
- Adjustments stimulate the cerebellum, thus supporting the hypothesis that chiropractic adjustments help reduce stress and anxiety, increase relaxation, therefore, increase health and decrease disease susceptibility!
