CHIROPRACTIC EFFECTIVE IN TREATING LARYNGITIS AND SORE THROATS
A recent study was conducted to examine the efficacy of Chiropractic adjustments on patients suffering with laryngitis and sore throats. 4,600 incidents of respiratory tract infections were included in the study. Results of the study showed Chiropractic was effective in treating such infections. The results are as follows: Pharyngitis (sore throat): 57% of patients with pharyngitis were treated on the first day with Chiropractic adjustments and a salt water gargle. All patients were without symptoms the second day.
Laryngitis: 100% of patients with laryngitis were treated on the first day of illness with a Chiropractic adjustment; voice function returned to normal within one day.
