WHY CHIROPRACTIC?
Chiropractic is just not about aches and pains. It is about well-being, when your nervous system is functioning at its highest potential then your body will function at its highest potential. The only way to allow for proper nervous system function is receiving chiropractic care at least once a month, proper diet with nutritional supplements and exercise. Combining adjustments, nutrition and exercise you transform your current lifestyle to the chiropractic lifestyle.
Pregnancy
Chiropractic care has been shown to be extremely beneficial to pregnant women. As weight is gained in the abdomen, it causes a downward, forward pull on the lower spine, often resulting in backache and neck pain. Other areas of discomfort such as increased spinal and pelvic pain, as well as pain from shifts in position or movement of your baby can be treated through routine chiropractic care during your pregnancy. Regular chiropractic care allows for safer and easier deliveries for both mother and baby, increased comfort during the third trimester and delivery, and a reduced need for pain medications.
Female
Couples who are having difficulties conceiving may find benefits from chiropractic. Chiropractic adjustments align the spine so that the nervous system can properly communicate with the rest of the body. If there is a misalignment that is causing fertility issues, adjustments may correct these issues and help with conception.
Studies have shown that women suffering from symptoms of PMS have also seen an improvement of their symptoms from chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapy; especially relief of headache, back pain, abdominal cramping, and dysmenorrhea.
Children/Infants
Children and infants can find great benefits from chiropractic. During the birthing process, an infant endures quite a bit of trauma while making its way through the birth canal. This experience may misalign the spine and cause problems for the child in the future if not corrected.
Chiropractic adjustments can help children and infants with many issues including ear infections, colic, ADHD, bedwetting, acid reflux, constipation, and frequent colds.
Sports and Fitness Injuries
Athletic activity puts more stress on your body than typical day-to-day activity, thus, making you more likely to sustain injuries from sports and fitness. This is why it is important for active people to regularly see a chiropractor. Regular adjustments help you recover faster from sports injuries so you can get back to your normal activities. Chiropractic care can help with sports injuries such as sprains and strains, fractures, subluxations, dislocations, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis, to name a few.
Aside from correcting injuries, regular chiropractic care can also help athletes increase their performance. Chiropractic care helps athletes (and non-athletes) improve posture, range of motion, circulation, balance, flexibility, and also by decreasing the time it takes to recover from injuries.
Auto Accidents
After an auto accident, we often worry about our cars; getting a new vehicle or getting the old one repaired. But what is most important is getting your body repaired. Injuries from auto accidents come in all varieties (from minor aches and pains, to neck or low back pain, to headaches, to numbness and tingling, or even memory loss and fatigue). Even worse, you may be injured but show no symptoms. Often, an auto accident will cause, at the very least, some aches and pains. If left untreated, those aches and pains could turn into more serious complications down the road. Through chiropractic care, the doctor will be able to identify any injuries that you may have and develop a treatment plan to correct these issues.
Digestion
Nerves from the spinal cord branch out to send information to all organs in the body. These nerves control everything that organs do and when they do it. This includes the digestive tract. Nerves control how quickly food moves through, how much digestive juice is secreted, and how much blood flow goes to the tract. If there is a misalignment of your spine, the nerves don’t convey these messages correctly, and digestive problems (heart burn, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, etc.) may ensue. Proper alignment of the spine through chiropractic adjustments, and in some cases adding supplements to your diet, will help to alleviate any digestive issues that you may have.
Respiratory
Nerves from the spinal cord branch out to send information to all organs in the body. These nerves control everything that organs do and when they do it. This includes all of the components of the respiratory tract. Nerves send signals to the lungs, diaphragm, trachea, pharynx, and nasal passages. Nerve interference from a spinal misalignment will interrupt the signals that the nerves are sending, and respiration will not occur as efficiently as it needs to. It is very important that people who have asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, allergies, or any other respiratory problems receive proper communication from their nerves. This can be achieved through routine chiropractic adjustments. The doctor will resolve any misalignments that you may have in your spine to ensure proper nerve communication.
Aches, Pains and Pinched Nerves
Back or neck pain may be a result of an injury, but other factors such as stress, tension, and over-use could also be the cause of your issues. A spinal misalignment can affect many regions of your body and cause a lot of different problems. Some common issues that we deal with are low back pain, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches/migraines, slipped/herniated discs, and sciatica. Regular chiropractic care will help to correct any misalignments and resolve issues that you may have from them. |
