How Chiropractic Care Can Help With Blood Sugar

One of the fastest growing illnesses in the United States is one that many deal with on a daily basis. Diabetes is prevalent among both children and adults, and its rise in numbers has many seeking treatment and a potential cure. Though no cure has yet been found, most cases of Diabetes can be regulated through a mix of medications, exercise, and diet. Even with it managed, those that suffer from this ailment may still be looking for ways to help keep the illness under control. In recent years, through a series of research and trials, one such method that has been proven to be beneficial is chiropractic care. Chiropractic care may be able to help control blood sugar levels, potentially leading to a stabilized case of Diabetes.

First, what is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a disease that prohibits the body from producing the correct amount of insulin. Without the proper amount, the body is unable to break down and process sugar properly, thus leading to a fluctuating blood sugar level. This initially affects the pancreas, which is where the insulin is created, and can later affect multiple organs as the disease advances.

How is it treated?

Most of the time, Diabetes is treated through a mixture of methods. More severe cases may be treated with medications to help control blood sugar. Some are even prescribed insulin in shot form. Milder cases may be treated with a combination of a strict diet and an exercise regimen. There is currently no cure for this illness, though most people are eventually able to find some form of management for the disease.

How does chiropractic care come into play?

Recent studies have shown a link between the central nervous system and blood sugar levels in the body. Chiropractors treat the spine, a vital part of the central nervous system. It is believed that with the spine in proper alignment, all parts of the body are able to work more efficiently. In other words, when the communication highway of the body (the spine) is in top notch health, messages ring loud and clear in other parts of the body as well. A recent study even showed improvement in patients not using medication after just one month of chiropractic care. With chiropractic services being a great preventative medicine, it might be worth a try.
