A recent article from FOX News discussed an operation to the brainstem (near the top bones of the spine) in 10 patients with type II diabetes. (A disease that's threatening to cripple the economy of the United States not to mention the suffering of the individuals.)
After the surgery, 7 out of the 10 patients were able to reduce their diabetes medication due to an improvement in their condition and one person even stopped the medication completely. The results of this surgery were nothing less than amazing and the medical professionals involved have a right to be excited about such impressive results, but what if there were something even better?
Upper Cervical chiropractic deals with the same area of the brainstem and takes care of it with precision in a very gentle manner (no knives in my office). The purpose of chiropractic is to correct the spine of abnormal movement and/or alignment thus removing interference. The surgery described above was to "decompress" the nerves in the area. (Read the details of the surgery here.)
Now for some very important questions:
- What was compressing the nerves?
- What is the cost to hospitalize, anesthetize, and operate on an individual?
- What is the risk associated with cutting someone open and performing this surgery on the neck and brain?
Compare this to a very natural, gentle and precise procedure using the hands to accomplish a correction of the alignment and motion of the upper spine without any cutting.
Should such a surgery be considered before less invasive means? My question is - did the doctors performing this surgery ever think to ask how the compression got there in the first place?
Not to take anything away from medical advances, I readily admit that the surgery mentioned here is truly amazing, but I find even more amazing that such intelligent people can completely ignore very inexpensive, non-invasive means of relieving interference to this critical area.

For all you anatomy lovers out there, here's a video of the area of the spine we're dealing with. Enjoy:
