- Back Pain
One of the most obvious chiropractic benefits is back pain relief, but it’s a classic for a reason, right? Adjusting your spine will relieve all kinds of back suffering, from the neck problems that are associated with whiplash, all the way to persistent lower back pain, even in pregnancy. Because chiropractic care addresses the underlying structural issues causing back problems, it gives your body the chance to recover and heal in a way muscle relaxants never will.
- Other Body Pain
Think of the spine as the central structure that the rest of the body is built around. When the spine is out of alignment, that causes other misalignments, which translates to pain in different areas all through the body. Research has shown that chiropractic adjustments can be targeted to address problems in seemingly unrelated parts of the body. TMJ is a condition that causes frustrating, persistent pain and tension in the jaw. It often leads to headaches and tooth damage, and it is very difficult to treat. Another benefit of chiropractic care is that it is known to help decrease jaw pain and stiffness in people with TMJ. The same is true for other intractable and painful conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome, and even chronic pelvic pain in women.
- System Regulation
The nervous system translates all the information from your brain to the rest of your body’s systems, so it makes sense that chiropractic benefits can extend to this source of feeling. Misalignment can impinge on the nerves carrying these messages, causing problems you might not expect. Chiropractic care has been shown to result in a reduction in high blood pressure, fewer headaches (even migraines), and even less anxiety. When all the systems of your body are able to communicate efficiently then everything works better.
- Hormonal Help
Particularly for women, hormonal levels can have a huge impact on health and happiness. When your body is able to regulate and balance hormones, everything feels better and works more efficiently. By now it probably doesn’t surprise you to hear that chiropractic care has been shown to be helpful for hormonal problems also. It can improve the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, including the painful cramping known as primary dysmenorrhea. Again, we see that a body in balance is able to heal itself in ways you might not expect, and this realignment is a major benefit of chiropractic care.
- Improving Children’s Health
It can’t be overstated that a body in balance simply functions better in all ways. A properly adjusted spine is a vital first step to creating that balance.
