It is well known that chiropractic care helps in reducing back and neck pain, as well as pains that affect the muscular and skeletal systems. The main purpose of this medical field is encouraging natural healing of the body with hands-on spinal adjustments coupled with stretches, exercises, and natural lifestyle changes. Chiropractors focus on and specialize in the nervous system which affects many other parts of the body.
Because chiropractors are able to locate the cause of the problem and help naturally improve the body’s healing capacity and neurology, patients are able to recover and heal completely sooner. Many health issues, both common and uncommon conditions, can be treated with chiropractic care.
High Blood Pressure
May people are told that pharmaceuticals are the only option for successful treatment of high blood pressure. However, chiropractic care has been known to be highly successful in helping this condition. In fact, there are many published studies in renowned medical journals. There is significant evidence that specific spinal adjustments in the upper neck region can improve high blood pressure caused by nerve interference.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
There are many ways that this condition can be improved with chiropractic care. First of all, spinal adjustments can help release pressure on the nerves that are involved in digestion and cause bloating, cramps, and other IBS symptoms. Chiropractors also advise patients on the use of natural supplements, regular exercise routine, and a wholesome healthy diet. Stress also contributes to IBS and chiropractors can help reduce stress neurologically and holistically.
ADHD
This is a common condition for which medications are highly over prescribed. With pharmaceuticals, people with ADHD, especially children, are put at risk. ADHD patients are given care by chiropractors with a neurological and spinal exam to check nerve function. Many symptoms can be connected to stress on the nerves brought on by altering ranges of motion, nerve imbalances, postural distortions, spinal misalignments, and spinal immobility. These nerve stresses need to be handled with chiropractic care.
Headaches
Misalignments in the neck often cause headaches and chiropractic care can help relieve them. A complex system of muscles and nerves are located in the neck and these muscles and nerves work to support the head and the brain. When a patient suffers a headache, a chiropractor examines the spinal bone alignment in the neck. Headaches can be rapidly relieved by with spinal adjustments in the neck, which release pressure on the muscles or nerves and increase and/or regulate blood supply to the brain.
There are a large number of other uncommon conditions that can be treated with chiropractic care. Instead of taking medications that are dangerous and usually ineffective, you should consult a chiropractor the next time you feel unwell – it could be the treatment that heals you.
