Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is based on the principal that when spinal bones misalign, they can put pressure on the surrounding nerves and discs. This is commonly known as a subluxation. If these bones (vertebrae) stay misaligned for a long period of time, then the discs will start to degenerate and irritate the nerves in that area. Wherever these nerves go to will become affected. Some people experience pain, however many subluxations can be pain-free. This can be misleading because even though no pain is felt, the problem is still there and it will continue to wear down the discs and irritate the surrounding nerves. Pain is usually the last symptom to show up when there is a problem, and the first symptom to go away even if the problem is not corrected.

Chiropractic care offers several benefits that contribute to healing and overall well-being. Let’s explore how chiropractic helps:

1. Improves Neck and Back Pain:

• If you experience neck and back pain due to poor posture, frequent phone use, or prolonged sitting, chiropractic adjustments may help.
• By realigning your spine and easing tension in neck and back muscles, chiropractors provide relief.
• Research suggests that spinal manipulation is more effective than medication for non-specific neck pain.

2. Reduces Reliance on Opioid Pain Relievers:

• Chronic pain often leads to opioid prescriptions. Chiropractic treatment can reduce the need for these medications.
• A study found that adults who visited both a chiropractor and their doctor for spinal pain filled fewer opioid prescriptions.

3. Enhances Healthy Posture:

• Chiropractors address spinal misalignments that affect posture.
• Proper alignment can improve overall posture and prevent future discomfort.

4. Stress Reduction and Mental Health:

• Chiropractic adjustments down-regulate the sympathetic nervous system, reducing stress.
• The release of endorphins during treatment positively impacts mental well-being.
