More than 360,000 American deaths in 2013 included high blood pressure as a primary or contributing cause. That is almost 1,000 deaths each day.
Center for Disease Control
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), high blood pressure was a primary or contributing factor in more than 360,000 American deaths in 2013 alone. That’s nearly 1,000 deaths each day. This condition, affecting millions, demands a closer look at innovative solutions.
The Scope of the Problem
- 70 million American adults have high blood pressure, which is 1 in every 3 people!
- 1 in 5 of these individuals are unaware they have it.
- High blood pressure costs the U.S. $46 billion annually, including healthcare services, medications, and lost productivity.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, significantly increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, chronic heart failure, and kidney disease. Despite the widespread use of medications, many people are still seeking alternative ways to manage their condition effectively.
Traditional Treatments: A Solution or a Bigger Problem?
For over 70% of patients with hypertension, achieving blood pressure reduction goals requires a combination of two different medications. Despite this, significant improvements are often not seen, leading many to explore alternative methods.
According to the CDC, only about 52% of people with high blood pressure have their condition under control, highlighting the need for more effective treatment strategies.
A New Approach: Upper Cervical Care
“Upper cervical doctors have seen a link between injuries to the upper neck and high blood pressure for decades, but only recently has the medical profession begun to study how upper cervical care helps those suffering with blood pressure.” – Dr. Vuagniaux
Recent studies have shown promising results for patients receiving upper cervical adjustments. Over an eight-week study, patients experienced an average drop in systolic blood pressure of 17 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 10 mmHg. This reduction is equivalent to the effects of taking two blood pressure medications simultaneously.
A Patient’s Perspective
“Prior to beginning upper cervical care, I had been on blood pressure medicine for 13 years! My blood pressure numbers began going down within weeks of my first adjustment. I no longer needed blood pressure medication. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” – M.N.
The Next Step
Upper cervical doctors specialize in evaluating and correcting issues in the neck that could contribute to high blood pressure. By addressing these underlying problems, patients can experience significant improvements in their condition.
