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.
Reduce insomnia and improve overall sleep
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.
