As with any health care treatment, you should always let your Doctor know of any preexisting conditions that you have. Chiropractic patients with heart conditions should always inform their Doctor before a treatment plan is devised. Once your Chiropractor knows you have a heart condition they will be able to structure a treatment plan than actually help improve your cardiovascular system.

As Chiropractic treatment stimulates the body's own healing systems, and helps ensure the central nervous system's proper functioning (see What is Chiropractic? and How does Chiropractic work?) it should come as no surprise that Chiropractic treatment can in fact have a positive effect on your cardiovascular system (both through direct and indirect influences).

Additionally, Chiropractic Doctors have experience in diagnosing heart conditions, and will refer you to a cardiologist or other suitable specialist, if they discover any prevously hidden cardiovascular problems
