Question
I have been on high blood pressure medication for a number of years. The first time I was told my BP was on the high side of normal. Now every time I have a check up my BP is about the or slightly higher and my GP is prescribing higher and higher doses. Can a chiropractor help?

Answer
Generally no, there is no conclusive evidence that manipulation helps high blood pressure.  However, indirectly if you had acute low back pain getting manipulated could give you some relief which could help you relax and perhaps help lower it that way.  It's a stretch though.  Please ask your MD.
