Many patients with cancer and mesothelioma turn to chiropractic care in order to help control pain, relieve headaches and reduce tension and stress. The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics published two studies that examined cases of patients fighting cancer. A 57 year old man diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer was able to reduce the amount of medication needed following chiropractic care and he experienced considerable pain relief. A 54 year old man diagnosed with lung cancer( a cancer often related to asbestos exposure) began seeing a chiropractor after surgery because he was unable to relieve pain through conventional means. He experienced pain relief immediately after beginning chiropractic care and ceased using pain medication after two visits. The journal noted,"These clinical examples offer two specific instances of how chiropractic care may improve the quality of the cancer patient's life."
