A chiropractor is trained in treating problem body areas – like the neck and back – to prevent and resolve various health issues.

Patients seek help from chiropractors for a variety of painful health conditions. That’s why the chiropractic treatment and techniques vary from patient to patient.

What is an adjustment?

A chiropractic ‘adjustment’ is done to treat specific issues, such as misalignment of vertebral joint, poor posture, and other spine-related problems. Here are some of the key benefits of getting an adjustment to improve your overall health.

Improves posture

Many people are developing neck issues at a younger age now, thanks to sitting in front of a computer for hours on end or leaning over a phone the whole day. A chiropractic adjustment can help with the neck issues and bad posture caused by this.

Regular chiropractic adjustments are also known to help align the curves and tilts in your spine, leading to an improved posture. If you have a curve in your neck, this can be particularly helpful for you.

Supports neurological health

If your nervous system is not working as it should, your entire body will feel out of alignment. A misaligned nervous system, along with the misaligned skeletal and muscular structure can wreak havoc on your overall health.

That’s where a chiropractic adjustment can be a godsend; it balances and relaxes your body to relieve the stress, allowing you to better manage your daily life.

Boosts immune system

Another major benefit of a chiropractic adjustment is it helps remove subluxations that prevent the nervous system from functioning efficiently. And we all know a healthy nervous system is essential for a strong immune system.

Once your immune system starts working better, you will start recovering from infections and ailments a lot faster.

Regularizes sleep cycles

It’s a fact that a backache, neck ache, and other neurological issues lead to high stress and poor rest. Since an ‘adjustment’ offers stress relief, they also improve your sleep patterns.

Chiropractic adjustments have also worked wonders in treating children who suffer from chronic bed-wetting.

Balances blood pressure

According to the Human Journal of Hypertension, a single session of chiropractic adjustment in the cervical area has the same effects as taking two blood pressure lowering pills.

There have been other studies that support the fact that chiropractic sessions are highly beneficial to raise low blood pressure levels in hypotensive patients.

Relieves sciatica pain

Chiropractic adjustments can also initiate back pain relief better than most medical treatments available today. According to The European Spine Journal, these ‘adjustments’ have a success rate of 72% in treating sciatica-related symptoms for life; something no other medical treatment offers.

Other than these key health benefits, chiropractic adjustments also offer some other healing solutions. For example, a single session of adjustment could provide relief from frequent headaches and migraines for many patients.

It is an inability to adapt due to decreased sun exposure and increased sugar intake and stress.

Sugar and Your Immune System

The immune system is the body’s defense system designed to fight off bacterial infections, viral infections, the flu, cancer or anything else that may try to harm you. Most of the time, the body’s immune system wins, but unfortunately that’s not always the case. As the holiday season approaches, the temptation of sweets surrounds us from Halloween throughout the end of the Holiday season. This increase in sugar intake can be enough to weaken your immune system resulting in sickness.

 

What can you do to strengthen your immune system?

Vitamin D

10 to 15 minutes of sun exposure or Vitamin D3 supplements

Vitamin C

Eat raw red peppers, strawberries, and oranges or Vitamin C supplements

Sleep

The average person needs 7-9 hours of sleep to heal and reset the body

Avoiding Sugar

Eating or drinking too much sugar curbs immune system cells that attack bacteria. This effect lasts for at least a few hours after drinking a couple of sugary drinks.

Exercise

Walk for 30 minutes a day

Chiropractic Care

Research has shown that chiropractic care boosts the immune system. White blood cells, which eat and destroy bad cells, are enhanced through chiropractic care.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Do you suffer from fatigue, get sick easily, feel your body is just not working like it used to, or are you not sleeping well? These are signs that you may need to get your spine checked. Regular chiropractic care can not only help with the everyday aches and pains of life, but what many people don’t know is that chiropractic care is much more than that. Your spine protects your crucial nervous system which is responsible for sending messages to and from the brain and your body. If there is interference, these messages cannot be received and sent properly leaving your body unaware of how to adapt to everyday life. In chiropractic, this interference is called a subluxation and is due to a slight misalignment of the spine. So you may be thinking, what causes a subluxation? Subluxations are caused by many of our daily activities including sleeping position, sneezing, the birth process, muscle tension and stress. Chiropractors are trained to locate, analyze, and correct vertebral subluxations restoring proper nervous system function. Subluxations do not always results in aches and pains. What if you have interference in a nerve going to your heart? Would you know it? We can not tell if we are subluxated just by the way we feel. People under regular chiropractic care are experiencing better sleep, reduced stress, more energy, less sick time, and improved performance just to name a few. Unfortunately, many people turn to chiropractic care only after they have been injured without knowing the preventative and wellness benefits vital to everyone. Chiropractic adjustments are safe, effective, and specific to you. Call to schedule your appointment today and get on the road to better health. Call us today. Chiropractic, it just works!
