Chiropractor Care: Beyond Back Pain

Most individuals think that chiropractors are only useful when they experience neck, back or low back pain and seek relief. However, chiropractic adjustments and treatments have been used for a variety of ailments and conditions, many that you’d never believe. Gone are the days of chiropractors only being utilized when patients have back pain. Instead, chiropractors are being used for proactive and reactive treatments that address issues far more widespread than just back pain. The methods used are drug-free and surgery-free alternatives to provide patients with a route to healing naturally. While drugs and other conventional “treatments” may only treat or mask the symptoms, while chiropractic treatment can fix the problem at the source. Here are the main benefits of that you can receive when you choose to see your chiropractor.

Drug-free Chiropractic Pain Management– in a world that is dominated by quick fix prescriptions for all ailments, it is promising to know that chiropractic care can be a comparable alternative to drug options when it comes to certain conditions. By focusing more on what the cause of the pain or disruption to the body is, chiropractors are able to offer a holistic approach to correcting the problems at the source instead just reducing the symptoms. This is often one of the main benefits that patients of chiropractic care list as the most important benefit.

Customizable Treatments

Instead of treating every patient with the same treatment, chiropractic care is unique in the fact that there are a variety of tools and techniques that can be utilized. In doing so, chiropractors are able to develop and apply customized treatment plans that fit each patient specifically. Not all patients are created equal and everyone is affected by things differently, so it is important to note that each treatment plan should be as unique as the patient.

Low Risk/Non-Invasive

The most common side effect of chiropractic treatment is muscle soreness that comes from the muscles readjusting to proper joint alignment following a chiropractic adjustment. Unlike the crazy side effects of many medications on the market today, chiropractic treatment results in minor side effects such as fatigue and headaches. Obviously, chiropractic treatment is non-invasive and only conducted on a superficial level, so there are inherently no risks or side effects that are associated with invasive treatments.

 

Improved Nervous System Functioning

When the spine or other structures are out of alignment, nerves can become pinched and their function is compromised. The nerves in our nervous system alert us of pain and control all systems in our body including our immune system. So, it is very common that various illnesses or symptoms can be alleviated through chiropractic adjustments. Making sure that the body is functioning properly at the core is crucial to allowing the rest of the body to function as normal.

Treatment for Other Conditions

Besides treatment for back and neck pain, adjustments can be extremely beneficial for alleviating other conditions such as:

  • Headaches
  • Ear infections
  • Arthritis
  • Scoliosis
  • Asthma
  • Blood pressure
  • Posture
  • Stress
  • And More
