If you are
having back pain, you might have heard from a friend or relative that you
should look into chiropractic care. If you have not experienced chiropractic
care, you might be a bit skeptical if it can work for you.
Chiropractic
adjustments can help to reduce joint restrictions, misalignments in the spine
and reduce inflammation. Chiropractic treatment also helps to increase joint mobility
and improves your overall spinal health. Whether you are having serious chronic
pain, are an active individual, or looking to rehab from an injury,
chiropractic care has many benefits.
Natural
recovery
Although many
treatments use medications, surgery, or injections to treat pain and illness,
chiropractic care is done with the hands. Simple movements of the spine
encourage your body to heal naturally.
Boost
your immune system
There are
studies that regular chiropractic adjustments trigger the regulating of
pro-inflammatory cytokines as well as a boost in antibodies. These are linked
to the immune response, and boosting the production of leukocytes, which help
white blood cells to fend of illness.
Reduce
digestive problems
Many individuals
deal with acid reflux or other digestive problems. Regular chiropractic visits
can often reduce symptoms of digestive issues.
Reduce
blood pressure
When your spine
is out of alignment, your body will not function properly. This can include
elevated blood pressure, which when not properly maintained, can elevate your
risk of developing other health issues.
Improve
balance
Balance aids in
preventing injury such as a slip and fall incident due to proper stability. If
your spine is healthy, then it will be easier to balance and therefore you will
reduce the risk of injury.
Can
reduce ear infections
One common
problem specifically amongst children is ear infections. The treatments for
this can require antibiotics which is not healthy for prolonged periods of
time. After chiropractic care, some children have shown a drop in otitis media.
When you are not
dealing with back and other body pain, it is not only easier to fall asleep,
but also easier to stay asleep. Your standard of sleep will improve by removing
your back pain. This will also give you a better quality of life by making you
feel energized and focused.
Cure
migraines
Receiving
routine chiropractic care can prevent migraines and tension headaches. This is
a great alternative to other possibly addictive and invasive treatments.
Improve
scoliosis
Scoliosis is a
natural, side curvature of the spine that affects over 3% of the population (7
million people). Chiropractic care can relieve pain associated with scoliosis
to help patients once again do the things they love and live their lives.
Relieve
knee, foot, and ankle pain
Whether you are
getting older or have previous injuries, joint problems from the knee down are
common and affect almost 30% of the population. This kind of pain can even
develop without injury, and in this case, it might be due to pressure on your
joints. Chiropractic care can help to shift your joints in order to relieve
these types of pains, making your life more enjoyable.
