Patients with Pain
This study analyzed the neurophysiological effects of Gifford Neurology Therapy on chiropractic patients with pain-related complaints. They did not have autism, genetic conditions, or degenerative neurological conditions such as dementia, ataxia, or Parkinson’s disease. The intent of our analysis was to see how much coordination and intelligence could improve in a population with pain. Forty-seven patients were examined with The International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS) and The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales Version 5 (SB5) before and after 3-months of Gifford Neurology Therapy. Their ages varied from 6 to 89 with an average of 53 years.
Look at the columns highlighted yellow in Tables 1 and 2. They show the amount of change and effect sizes for cerebellum motor coordination (ICARS) and SB5 from pre-therapy to post-therapy. Movement coordination improved by 35%, and IQ increased from a normal to high normal rating in just 3 months!

Summary
The idea that healthy, normal people can increase their Full-Scale IQ from 106.1915 (normal IQ) to 113.1489 (high normal) in just 3 months of Gifford Neurology Therapy is phenomenal. In other research studies posted on this website (Autism and Down Syndrome) we’ve seen that continuing therapy for another 3 months is even more powerful. And yes, our chiropractic therapy relieved their pain.
