Five Reasons Why You Should See a Chiropractor

1. Chiro Can Provide Lasting Back Pain Relief

Pain relief is one of the primary reasons why patients pursue chiropractic treatment. In many cases, back pain is caused by tight muscles and improper alignment. Studies have shown that in many cases of chronic back pain, spinal mobility work, various adjustments, and other kinds of chiropractic therapy are more effective and much less costly than alternative forms of treatment. We have seen many clients who have been able to avoid an imminent  surgery after receiving AK and chiro care.

2. Chiro Can Lower Blood Pressure

We see many of our clients who struggle with high blood pressure and often chiropractic adjustments can be just as effective as medications and have very few side effect. A 2007 study published in the Human Journal of Hypertension reported that an adjustment to an area at the top of the spine led to a significant — and lasting — drop in blood pressure. While this adjustment may not help everyone who suffers from hypertension, the initial results are promising. Adjustments to other areas of the body can lead to lower pain and lower stress levels, which can in turn lower blood pressure.

3. Some Patients Can Avoid Surgery

If you struggle with chronic pain of any kind, then you have probably explored surgery as one avenue of treatment. While surgery does lead to lasting pain relief in many patients, it should be reserved as a last-resort option. In many cases, we are able to help patients avoid or postpone surgery by cutting inflammatory foods out of the diet, working on mobility, and regular adjustments under the supervision of a trained chiropractor can help manage pain, relieve symptoms, and avoid invasive procedure. 

4. Your Circulation Could Improve

Do you sit at a desk for the majority of the day? Do you exercise less frequently than you should? Americans are more sedentary now than ever before, and studies show that our circulation is suffering because of it. In many cases, chiropractic adjustments can bring your body into proper alignment and allow blood to flow efficiently throughout your body. You may have poor circulation if you frequently experience cold hands and feet, tingling in your arms and legs, or frequent headaches. If you regularly suffer from headaches and/or migraines, be sure to read through the next section!

5. Headache Relief and Prevention

Headaches and migraines are two of the most common conditions treated and managed through chiropractic care. Many headaches and chronic migraines are caused by improper alignment, muscle tension, and elevated stress levels, and all of these factors can be managed through chiropractic treatment. Some patients may need help managing their stress and anxiety before they find lasting headache relief, while others may need to work on their neck and shoulder mobility before they see significant improvements. We’ll provide you with a full evaluation and a personalized treatment plan designed to help you find relief as soon as possible.

There are many more benefits to regular chiropractic visits, but we hope these few helped you make the decision to move forward with your health!
