Chiropractic Care for Healthy College Students

By Donna Stark

College is often one of the most exciting times in a young person's life, but along with all the excitement, there is a surprising amount of aches and pains in the body as well. The physical stress from carrying heavy backpacks from one end of the campus to the other and sitting all day hunched over textbooks and laptops can put a tremendous amount of strain on the back, neck, and shoulders. Unfortunately, many students don't even realize this until it is too late, but there is help! And it can be found at The Joint Chiropractic.

Chiropractic Care for Healthy Students

Regular chiropractic care is an ideal solution for all of the physical and emotional stress that can be found on college campuses nationwide! Take a look at the benefits that can come with it.

  • Heals damage from sitting - Sitting for long periods of time has been shown to increase the risk of serious health issues. Ideally, the best thing to do would be to get up and move as much as possible, but if breaks during classes and lectures aren't possible, there is another thing college students can do. They can get adjusted by their local chiropractor. Chiropractic adjustments will place the spine in proper alignment, reduce the excessive pressure on the discs, and help relax tight muscles.
  • Corrects poor posture - Dorm rooms are tiny, so to maximize space, students often end up using the desks that are provided as makeup stations or gaming centers, which pushes the studying and homework to the bed. And as comfy as that sounds, it can wreak havoc on the body. By visiting a chiropractor though, the damage caused from poor posture can be corrected, and on top of that, your chiropractor may also have suggestions on how to maintain the best possible posture when studying.
  • Improves overall health - It's hard enough to avoid those nasty germs that cause everyone to get sick, but it's nearly impossible when living on campus! Sharing private spaces, bathrooms, and study centers with people who are coughing and sneezing is everyone's nightmare, but it doesn't scare your local chiropractor at all. Regular chiropractic adjustments can improve the function of the body's nervous, immune, and respiratory systems. They basically give patients an extra boost of germ-fighting power!
