Implementing Chiropractic care is a great way to improve multiple areas of your health with one non-invasive treatment. Surgeries and medications can be dangerous and expensive, especially if a more conservative method can be utilized. Studies show that up to 80% of all Americans suffer from back and neck pain. Through specific and conservative chiropractic adjustments, the aggravation of pain and restriction can be significantly reduced.
However, Chiropractic care is not just for neck and back pain. Research has also demonstrated that Chiropractic adjustments reduce inflammation, increased muscle tension, joint pain and manage stress that are precursors to high blood pressure and headaches. By focusing on reducing inflammation, pain, and joint restrictions, the individual can achieve their highest potential. This is especially important for athletes who depend on their body to do their job.
Chiropractic adjustments have also been shown to help increase blood flow to the brain, increasing the flow of cerebral spinal fluid. This can be significant in helping those sufferers of neurological conditions like epilepsy and Multiple Sclerosis.
Beyond back pain, there are over 200 studies examining the benefits of Chiropractic care and headaches. It should be noted that tension and migraine headaches are associated and attributed to other back pain and spinal issues. Misalignments cause muscle tension and pain, resulting in both the chronic tension headache and full-blown migraines. Many individuals have recaptured their lives from these debilitating syndromes.
Chiropractic care is an essential part of your child’s overall health and wellness. Infants, children and adults alike experience subluxations in the spine. Some of the early issues that infants experience can be linked to subluxations acquired during the birthing process. It is noted that the simplest minor traumas that occur during birth can affect development and create skeletal stress. Even if your child is in excellent health, minor traumas from b
umps, bruises, falls and spills accumulate over time and can result in pain, discomfort and/or health issues that present in their teen and adult years. Chiropractic care can drastically alter and improve the effects of certain conditions that affect kids. The major conditions that respond very well to Chiropractic care in children are colic, ear infections and acid reflux. Furthermore, many patients have reported improvement following chiropractic care that include ADD/ADHD, colic, torticollis, bed-wetting, digestive problems, allergies, asthma, seizures and more. Once the spinal issues are addressed, you can rest assured you gave your kids the best opportunity available, drug-free and conservative.
In addition to treating neck and back injuries, Chiropractors are specially trained on whiplash injuries and management of the soft tissue insults that accompany. Many times, individuals who have been injured in a car accident have heightened muscle pain and stiffness that simply restricts normal function. This discomfort, on top of other injuries, is a serious issue

Doctors of Chiropractic are remarkably trained in addressing and managing the spinal conditions of the body. There are others, however, that have opted to continue their specialization outside the spine. In an effort to aid the body in recovery, special attention must be given to the areas connected to the spine and how they affect the overall well-being. A full body approach is the best method in understanding how and what is the overall cause of the patient’s affliction. Beyond pain reduction, a full assessment of biomechanics and functional movement is key to helping individuals obtain goals and reach their full potential in a relatively short period of time.
Chiropractic adjustments and therapies help to improve form (therefore, improving function), and induce mobility into the joints. Chiropractic care can help minimize the advancement of further degeneration of the spine. Patients with scoliosis often experience other spinal issues to dysfunction caused by the abnormal curvature of their spine. Many patients with scoliosis have benefited from chiropractic care.
Injuries can occur at any time in life and that includes at work. Chiropractors are the best practitioner that specializes in the restoration of proper movement and reduction in pain. The goal is to return the patient back to work in the quickest and safest timeframe possible. Without the use of medications or surgeries, chiropractors are poised to return the patient back to work with little recovery time or additional costs in adjunct therapies.
In one study, the average number of compensation days needed for visiting Chiropractors was 6.26 while 25.56 days were compensated under medical practitioners. This means that the patient is able to take less time off work, improving productivity and attendance while receiving the benefits of care. Another study revealed the significant cost savings, nearly 10-fold, of chiropractic care versus medical interventions. Therefore, chiropractic care is a relatively cost-effective approach to the management of work-related injuries.
