Adjustments increase strength in Stroke Victims

If you have a stroke, an area of your brain can basically die, which is why it’s not too surprising that stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the world. In fact about 17 million people suffer from a significant stroke every year! And about 5 million of them experience long term disability.

Research has shown that chiropractic care might help stroke victims
