Spinal care improves quality of life: Chiropractic is more than just pain relief

Most people see a chiropractor because they are in some type of pain.  Pain can be reduced quickly with chiropractic care but there is so much more to chiropractic than what is out there on social media.  

How does chiropractic help with quality of life and total health and wellness?  

Chiropractic care has shown to highly impact your nervous system.  This system controls everything.  This is known by the medical community as well and is in every medical manual.  

When our chiropractor performs treatment, it not only helps your body move better but it also allows unexpected benefits to occur and healing to begin in the whole body.  

Here are the benefits of chiropractic treatments:

  1. Increased Immune:
    Your nervous system regulates all cell functions and communication.  If there is a misalignment in any part of the body, it can act like a pebble in a pond and have a ripple effect on the whole body and its systems.  Our treatment helps the cells communicate they way they ought to.  
  2. Increased Energy:
    When there is stress in the body that is not released, it will store in areas of the body where we are most weak.  Joints, muscles, organs can all become inflamed.  When this stress is released by an adjustment, the whole body increases its energy and you experience a vitality boost!
  3. Decreased bouts of asthma:
    Because our adjustments and treatments help boost immunity, it helps fight antigens that attack our system and cause asthma.  Our treatments help enhance nerve impulses in the lungs and help them expand and work better.
  4. Lowered blood pressure:
    There have been several studies shown that after an adjustment (especially the neck), blood pressure is regulated and decreases.  This can help people stay off blood pressure medication and prevent many ailments caused by high blood pressure.  These include heart attack, stroke and heart disease as well as many other problems if the circulation is inhibited. 
  5. Improved digestion:
    Since all the nerves control our systems, our digestive tract is no different.  When our body is not aligned properly, it can signal a stress response and make the body more acidic.  This will effect the signals going to the intestines, stomach, kidneys, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and other organs leading to problems.  Some issues may be acid reflux, gas, bloating, heartburn.  We can help reduce these problems fairly easily with care. 
  6. Better breathing:
    Your ribs are connected to your spinal segments.  Signals leaving our neck and back help tell the ribs when to contract and expand. They also move with the ribs so if there is a locked up area or it is not moving properly it can greatly decrease the ribs and breathing.  Our treatments can instantly allow your to breathe better.  
  7. Balance and equilibrium improvement:
    Our balance is determined by so many body parts. Our eyes, ears, neck, kinetic chains of the hips, spinal posture and so much more.  We effect all of these systems when we find areas of imbalance and improve them with care.  
  8. Healthier pregnancy and easier births:
    Our chiropractor is an expert at pregnancy care and works on expectant mothers with the Webster Technique which aligns the hips and help the uterus open up for breech babies to turn into birth position.  Keeping the hips aligned allows the baby to have more room for birth and less pain and pushing for mom.  
  9. A great nights sleep:
    If we are stressed or uncomfortable, we don't sleep well.  Chiropractic can help release stress and calm down the sympathetic nervous system (freeze, fight, flight).  This allows your parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) to kick in and help you sleep and get a quality sleep.  
  10. Improved range of motion:
    When we help the spine move properly, we help your whole body move with ease and help prevent unnecessary injuries.  

    If you want to have a better quality of life, less injuries and more energy this place is for you.
