Many people are surprised to learn that regular visits to a chiropractor can not only enable you to lose weight, but they can also be instrumental in helping you to keep the weight off and live a longer, healthier life.

The answer to this question is not as straightforward as it seems. It has to do with the severity of the symptoms and other factors. If you are experiencing pain and discomfort, then you should be evaluated by a chiropractor. If you are experiencing a lot of back or neck pain, then it is recommended that you see a chiropractor. You may also want to go if you have had an injury that has not healed properly or if your spine has been misaligned for a while. However, if your back or neck pain is mild and only comes on occasionally, then it is best to speak with your doctor first before going to see a chiropractor.

The benefits of chiropractic are many and varied. Chiropractors have been known to help with back pain, neck pain, headaches, and even ear infections. Chiropractors are trained to diagnose the cause of your problem and treat it accordingly. They use a variety of techniques to help you feel better including adjustments, massage therapy, electrotherapy, and nutritional counseling. A chiropractor will typically begin by asking a series of questions about your medical history and current symptoms in order to determine the cause of your problem and how best to treat it.

Yes, chiropractic adjustments are safe. Chiropractors are highly trained professionals who know how to safely and effectively adjust the spine. When done properly, chiropractic adjustments can help relieve pain and improve function. It is safer than medical treatment, and safer than crossing the street.

Trauma to soft tissues causes micro-tears in the muscles. In turn, the muscles constrict (shorten) to minimize their movement by immobilizing nearest joint. Joints don’t get much blood supply, because if blood vessels would run through the joint, they would get crushed each time the joint would close. This includes the intervertebral disc spaces. Most joints get their nutrients via synovial sacs. Synovial fluid is basically filtered blood. It’s more permeable when there’s negative pressure in the joint (when the joint opens). Since the injured muscles are limiting joint motion, the structures within the joint start to atrophy due to decreased nutrient supply (use it or lose it). Try sitting completely still for 5 minutes. It’s very difficult and unpleasant. Your joints need motion. The Chiropractor adjusts the fixated joint. When you hear or feel that pop, it means that the joint opened up and released some gas bubbles from the synovial sac. When the joint opens, it creates negative pressure within the joint, and the synovial sac filters in more nutrients and lubricant for the joint.

Chiropractic care is used for acute injuries and symptoms, ongoing maintenance care, and it helps promote better overall health and an improved quality of life. One of the things that draws patients to chiropractic is that it offers an alternative to drugs or invasive procedures. There are prenatal chiropractic which provides many benefits to both mom and fetus’ overall health.
