With researchers at the Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research at Palmer College of Chiropractic already hard at work on several research projects, including the recently reported study investigating whether a specialized chiropractic adjustment can help reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients, the center is taking on another major project, this one a study that will explore the feasibility of chiropractic care for treatment of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Palmer researchers are working in collaboration with the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Institute for Clinical and Translational Sciences on the project, one of three research investigations being funded courtesy of the $2.8 million grant awarded to the Palmer Center in 2008 by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a branch of the NIH.

A functional relationship has been observed between the upper and lower cervical region, as evaluated by motion palpation in the supine position. Upper cervical fixations (hypomobile spinal joints) are often found as reactions to lower cervical dysfunction and pathology, such as degenerative joint disease (DJD) or disc protrusion. It has been observed that such upper cervical dysfunction may be eliminated or reduced through traction of the lower cervical dysfunctional segments and/or the occiput in the supine position.

Dizziness can be a frightening symptom. Unfortunately, it often frightens people away from the very chiropractic care they need, thanks to decades of disinformation linking cervical adjustments to stroke. The following patient-education article reviews some of the literature linking chiropractic care to recovery from dizziness.
