The effects of specific upper cervical adjustments on the CD4 counts of HIV positive patients.  Selano, Hightower, Pleger, et al.  Chiropractic Research Journal.  1994;332-39. 

A study was done involving 10 HIV positive patients divided into 2 groups.  The first group underwent chiropractic adjustments for 6 months and was then compared to the second group who received no chiropractic care.  After 6 months, the CD4 levels of the group that received no chiropractic care declined 7.96%, while the adjusted group’s CD4 levels increased by 48%.

Correction of upper cervical subluxations (spinal misalignments) would improve immune system function!

Chiropractic care in adult spina bifida a case report.  Wilkinson.  Chiropractic Technique, 1990;2191-193. 

A case involving a 31 year old woman with spina bifida at the T11-L2 regions in the spine, presented with multiple symptoms such as muscle spasms, poor bladder control, recurrent bladder infections, swollen cervical lymph nodes and possible immunosuppression.  After 5 years of chiropractic care, the bladder has been infection free for more than 1 year, her bladder control has improved and leg spasms have decreased both in frequency and severity.  Her menstrual cramping has also been reduced.
