Below is a link to the first national survey concerning perceptions of chiropractic care which was jointly produced by the Gallup organization. The good news is that the use of chiropractic care has risen significantly in recent years and most Americans think that the profession is effective at treating back and neck disorders.
I was very surprised at a few of the findings such as 25% of people think chiropractic care is dangerous and almost 20% think we have less than 2 years of education! The truth is chiropractic care is much safer than many medical and drug treatments including over the counter pain meds, and DC's have 7- 9 years of advanced education.
Any chiropractic experiences or perceptions you would like to share?

Your heart is probably much older than you think, the CDC warns
The Centers for Disease Control have released a new report using data from the famous Framingham Heart Study. The CDC developed a calculator to give a "heart age". The report unfortunately shows that American men have heart ages 8 years older and American women 5 years older than chronological ages. A clinical study showed that use of the heart age made it much more likely that people would make positive changes for their heart.
