RCS Research Project

Millions of people have received chiropractic care and know its value from personal experience. Yet, the rest of the world dismisses the popularity of chiropractic and its high levels of patient satisfaction.

Our office is an RCS Authorized Practice-Based Research Site.

"Where's the research?" they ask.

That’s why we participate in the RCS (Research and Clinical Science) program. It’s the largest private sector research program in the history of chiropractic. Patient volunteers who agree to participate receive a FREE chiropractic evaluation and report of findings, as well as their own customized "Vitality Wellness Index™" which compares their results to those of the larger population.

This research will seek to validate chiropractic and position it as a scientific, evidence-based wellness discipline. The more research, the greater the chance the profession will have of gaining a higher degree of respect and acceptance in the health care marketplace and the scientific community.

Research volunteers complete the RCS Self Reported Quality of Life Survey via the Internet on your home computer or a survey in our office.

You’ll be given a complimentary chiropractic evaluation consistent with our typical new-patient exam and may include X-ray, manual examination, analysis, and a comprehensive report of findings. There is NEVER a charge for this examination.

Can chiropractic cure a child's ear infections?
Chiropractic isn't a cure for anything. Nor is it a treatment for ear infections. However, many children who suffer with ear infections also suffer from spinal problems in their neck, compromising nerves to the ear, depressing the immune system and preventing proper drainage. Can chiropractic help? Find out!
Can babies with colic be helped with chiropractic?
It's probably one of the times a parent feels the most helpless. But based on the research, chiropractic and colic relief appear to go hand in glove. With success rates in the mid-90% range, more and more South Portland parents are seeing a chiropractor. If you have a baby with colic learn how chiropractic may help.
