Postive Results for Depression

Chiropractic care shows positive results in the care of individuals with depression. A study published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research 2005 demonstrated this finding. 15 clinically depressed adults participated in this study. They were given a standardized test known as the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) both before and after receiving chiropractic care. The results showed a significant improvement of the average BDI-II scores of the group. The group as a whole scores a 17 before chiropractic care and averaged an 8 after care (The higher the score, the more severe the depression).
