One of the most important studies showing the positive effect chiropractic can have on the immune system and general health was performed by Ronald Pero, Ph.D., Chief of Cancer Prevention Research at New York’s Preventative Medicine Institute and Professor of Medicine at New York University.

Dr. Pero measured the immune systems of people under chiropractic care as compared to those in the general population and those with cancer and other serious diseases.  In his initial three-year study of 107 individuals who had been under chiropractic care for five years or more, chiropractic patients were found to have a 200% greater immune competence than people who had not received chiropractic care, and 400% greater immune competence than people with cancer and other serious diseases.  The immune system superiority of those under chiropractic care did not diminish with age.

Dr. Pero stated: “When applied in a clinical framework, I have never seen a group other than this chiropractic group to experience a 200% increase over normal patients.  This is why it is so dramatically important in a group…”.

Another study showed that chiropractic doesn’t cost, it saves!  Over 7 years, people who chose chiropractors as their primary source for health spent:

• 60.2% less in hospital admissions
• 59% less hospital days
• 62% less outpatient surgeries and procedures
• 85% less pharmaceutical costs
