Chiropractors declare many polio cases in Harris County have improved through spinal adjustments. A family recalls a 1942 case where removal of nerve interference restored use of arms and legs in days, and another infantile paralysis case where left side strength returned after chiropractic care.
Polio and its forms are described as a virus affecting motor nerves and the spinal cord with paralysis risk. The text promotes chiropractic adjustments as a path to recovery, claiming many cases improve or fully recover after treatment, and warns early care yields better outcomes to prevent permanent paralysis.
A Science Side-Uights survey reports 662 acute polio cases showing 455 full recoveries (68.5 percent) and 888 chronic cases with 257 full recoveries (28.9 percent). Notable improvements appeared in 454 chronic cases (51.1 percent) and slight gains in 100 (11.2 percent) with 78 cases (6.8 percent) showing no measurable progress. The study claims benefits when therapy starts early, and notes no case of early-stage polio treated by chiropractic produced lasting paralysis.
A historical quote envisions a future where medicine gives way to correcting the body itself to cure disease, not relying on doctors prescribing drugs. The idea emphasizes a shift from pharmacology to fundamental bodily corrections.
A historical report from The Burton Shield Company summarizes 93 029 cases from 412 practitioners. It details recovery or significant improvement percentages for conditions like anemia asthma bronchitis chicken pox lumbago malaria measles migraine nephritis sciatica stomach trouble tonsillitis paralysis poliomyelitis renal calculus ulcers whooping cough and more, highlighting chiropractic efficacy across chronic ailments.
