Can Chiropractic Care Help Me Lose Weight?

If you are one of the millions of people who resolved to lose weight as 2018 was ushered out and 2019 welcomed in, you might wonder how you can make this resolution stick. After all, it’s no surprise that most people have given up on their New Year’s resolutions after just a few short weeks. One way to overcome this tendency is to develop a clear plan on how you’ll accomplish your resolutions.

Your 2019 Weight Loss Plan

Of course, you know that you should take an objective look at the foods and beverages you ingest on a regular basis. Opting to fill your plate with more whole foods that are high in fiber and nutrients is a good start. So is choosing to drink water over soda, juice or other beverages that can sneak in calories.

Boosting the amount of time you spend exercise is important too. Not only will doing so help you lose weight faster, but you’ll experience improved health overall.

Chances are, though, that if you’ve made the resolution to finally lose weight in 2019, then it’s not your first stab at it. Instead, you’ve probably gone through the steps listed above and had limited success. Whether this describes you or you’re simply looking for a way to jumpstart your weight loss journey, it’s time to think outside the box.

Chiropractic Care and Weight Loss

Seeing those two phrases — chiropractic care and weight loss — in the same sentence might be puzzling. After all, what does chiropractic care have to do with losing weight? It turns out that the two have a relationship, and it’s probably one that will be surprising to you. It, however, is something worth exploring — and better yet, it can be a game changer when it comes to you realizing your weight loss dreams.

More Than Just Care of the Spine

A chiropractor is trained in more than the diagnosis and treatment of the spine and spinal alignment. They can also provide primary care because of their training in overall wellness and health. When you seek care from a chiropractor, that doctor isn’t just treating your current issues in isolation. They are doing so in a holistic manner that is designed to help you achieve the healthiest version of you possible.

How Chiropractic Adjustments Can Help You Lose Weight

When a spinal subluxation occurs, the nerve pathways become misaligned. Because the spinal column contains nerves that send information to the rest of the body, this can hinder its reception. The signals to your brain, for example, that indicate that your body is full or that you are hunger can be hampered.

Spinal subluxations can also result in a decreased range of motion or chronic pain. This can make it difficult for you to be physically active so you can lose weight.
