PRESS RELEASE MIDDLETOWN, RHODE ISLAND: Hundreds of Family Practice chiropractors will be providing their services in conjunction with National American Heart Month throughout the month of February. Chiropractors across the country will be uniting to provide health services, spinal screenings and consultations in an effort to promote healthy hearts and lifestyles in their communities.

As part of this observance, Dr. Pruitt of Pruitt Chiropractic will join many of the nation’s over 60,000 chiropractors in holding “Have a Heart Day”. “The community service day will help provide information about the important role that the spine and nervous system plays in the healthy functioning of the heart and other vital organs of the body,” said Dr. Pruitt. The public is invited to take advantage of the “hands-on” health services and educational information that will be offered about the mechanics of the human body and its ability for natural self-healing.

“Have a Heart Day” will be held on Wednesday, February, 25, 2004 at Pruitt Chiropractic and the public is invited to attend between 8am and 12 pm as well as 3pm and 6pm and receive health and wellness information, spinal screenings and chiropractic care for a discounted price.

According to a study reported in the Journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation, chiropractic care does play a significant role in reducing cardiac risk factors. The study monitored the total cholesterol-lipoprotein (HDL) and cholesterol/HDL ratio or cardiac risk factor (CRF) in patients over a period of one to three years and found that there were marked reductions in the CRF of those who received regular spinal adjustments. “Irritation in the upper thoracic vertebral joints has also been linked to disturbances or imbalances in the cardiac sympathetic nerve functions,” added Dr. Pruitt.

“Have a Heart Day is just one small way that chiropractors hope to continue providing safe and effective drug-free and non-invasive healthcare choices for families in their communities, “ said Dr. Pruitt.
