Is a chiropractic adjustment right for you? To help you answer that, let’s examine some of the benefits of chiropractic adjustments.
Headache Relief
Back pain and spinal issues can be caused by tension and migraine headaches. Back misalignment can cause muscle tension and pain which can result in both tension headaches as well as migraine headaches.
When people combine stress, repetitive activities and poor posture inevitably a tension headache will result. Playing video games, long periods of driving, and working on a laptop are all contribute to headaches.
Many people with headaches instinctively reach for over-the-counter medicines; no wonder given the millions of dollars big pharma spends on advertising.
Headache is the top ailment that chiropractors treat, next to back pain. Using targeted methodology, we adjust the alignment of your spine to improve spinal function and alleviate stress on the nervous system. This allows your body to function normally while reducing the risk of stress and tension building leading to headache pain. There are over 200 studies examining the benefits and effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments for headache relief. It’s medication-free, sustainable without side effects, and effective.
Reduce Blood Pressure Levels
Chiropractic adjustments provide many people suffering from high blood pressure the same effect as taking certain high blood pressure medications. A study published in the Human Journal of Hypertension and others support this. This and other studies show that the effects of chiropractic adjustment extended beyond the adjustment.
Besides, who wants to suffer the negative effects High blood pressure medications can have? Common complaints include:
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Anxiety
- Weight loss
If an adjustment can provide similar, if not the same, effect as many medications, it’s no wonder may people explore chiropractic care.
Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to help patients suffering from low blood pressure as well.
Reduced Neck and Lower Back Pain
When people hear the term chiropractor, often the first thing that comes to mind is neck and lower back pain treatment. It is estimated that 80% of all Americans experience some sort of lower back pain in their lifetime, and although medications and surgeries are options for this type of pain, they can be dangerous, expensive, and ineffective.
Regular chiropractic adjustments can significantly reduce your back and neck pain via a proven, non-invasive technique. Chiropractic treatment is also cheaper than other methods of back pain management.
Save yourself from mild and chronic pain while also reducing your medical costs through regular chiropractic treatments.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a condition where there is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. The angle of the curve may vary, but anything that measures more than 10 degrees on an X-ray is considered scoliosis. Doctors may use the letters “C” and “S” to describe the curve.
People with Scoliosis often lean slightly when standing. Some exhibit a visible curve to their backs, or have shoulders, waist, or hips that appear uneven. In some instances, one rib may protrude farther on one side of the body. Scoliosis can cause pain, abnormal posture, a reduction in your range of motion, and even trouble breathing.
There are only a few medical treatments for most scoliosis patients. But chiropractic adjustments has been shown to help treat scoliosis patients, especially when combined with physical therapy. The combination of the two helps treat and prevent the progression of scoliosis. The effectiveness of this treatment option varies from patient to patient, but it considered a viable option considering spinal fusion surgery doesn’t sound like much fun.
Reduce Inflammation
Body pain, joint issues, and tension have been linked to inflammation. Chronic inflammation has been linked to a number of diseases like heart disease, chronic pain, and cancer.
Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to reduce inflammation, which can lead to a number of positive benefits, including:
- Chronic lower back pain relief
- Reduced muscle tension
- Relief of joint pain
