- Chronic Pain
Chiropractors use spinal manipulation techniques for the treatment and recovery of chronic pain in the musculoskeletal system. This non-surgical alternative medicine not only provides pain relief but also addresses the root cause of the problem. The techniques used in chiropractic care manage pain by relieving pressure on the nerves that send pain signals to the brain. Correct spinal alignment alleviates symptoms associated with fibromyalgia and other types of chronic pain. Chiropractic care works differently from pain medications that only provide a temporary respite from pain.
- Migraine Headaches
Migraines cause intense and prolonged pain than ordinary headaches. It indicates excessive strain on the nervous system that overworks the brain by sending stressful signals. Although chiropractors cannot cure migraine headaches, they can provide treatment for relieving pain associated with the episodes of throbbing migraine. Chiropractic adjustments promote spinal health and restore balance to the energy pathways in your body. It eases the tension in your muscles and spine, allowing the brain to receive healthy signals from other parts of the body.
- Subluxation
Misalignment of the spine can compromise physiological functions and movement integrity due to structural, functional, and pathological articular changes. Chiropractors can locate distortions in the body caused by subluxations or misplacement of the spinal vertebrae. Subluxations can occur because of poor posture, stress, and trauma and are referred to as a pinched nerve. A spinal misalignment exerts a lot of pressure on the nerve, which can interfere with how nerves connect to the brain and other parts of the body.
- Sport Injuries
Although participating in sports promotes a healthy lifestyle, it also results in muscle sprains and strains and puts a lot of stress on different parts of the body. Professional chiropractors use a variety of techniques and assistive devices to address spinal disc injuries safely and naturally. A chiropractor adjusts the spine and neck to alleviate pain, improve joint functioning, and reduce inflammation. They ensure the vertebrae are lined up correctly so that it is less prone to injury.
- Joint Stiffness
A chiropractor can help you stay flexible, reduce injuries, and recover quickly by increasing your range of motion. Spinal adjustments and manipulation techniques help realign the bones and joints to improve flexibility and restore range of motion, balance, and coordination. Cumulative effects of wear and tear that comes with age can affect your ability to move and perform daily tasks. Regular chiropractic care can eliminate the source of your joint and back pain so that you can remain flexible through your golden years.
- Sciatica
Sciatica causes a lot of pain and discomfort that starts from the lower back and runs down the back of the legs. A chiropractor treats this condition by addressing the cause of the problem, which originates from the pelvis or the lower back. They treat this condition by taking off pressure from the sciatic nerve and restoring the normal motion of an individual’s hips, lower back, and pelvis. Chiropractors provide soft tissue release along the pelvic region and look for signs of improvement in the centralization of the referred pain.
- Immune Function
The nervous system establishes a connection with the rest of the body via the spinal cord. A damaged or misaligned spine affects the path of communication resulting in pain symptoms and increased chances of injury or illness. A chiropractor improves your overall health and wellbeing through spinal adjustments that address the root cause of several symptoms and conditions that impair your system coordination.
Chiropractic treatment is an effective tool for overall health and wellbeing because it is non-invasive and does not require the use of pharmaceuticals. It addresses the source of pain rather than the symptoms and allows the central nervous system to function properly. Spinal adjustments and manipulations address underlying health conditions that would have otherwise been masked by over-the-counter pain medications and pharmaceuticals.
