The Benefits of Chiropractic Care
By Sara Butler
Many who are new to the world of chiropractic wonder how, exactly, they can benefit from it. If you ask 10 different people why they love chiropractic care, then you may get 10 different answers. But there are some proven ways it can improve your health and wellness. Here are a few proven benefits the chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic want you to know about.
The Numbers
Did you know that at any given time, about 80 percent of the people in this country will experience back pain? That's right! It's no wonder that 22 million people visit chiropractors in the United States each year. It's a popular treatment for a variety of problems that go beyond back pain.
The Proven Benefits
So what are these benefits you must know about? There are four big ones that you should familiarize yourself with. These include:
- It helps you combat stress - When your body is working as it should and each part is communicating unimpeded with your central nervous system, then your body can more effectively deal with the stress that comes your way each and every day. Plus, when you're physically uncomfortable or in pain, that adds to stress. When you get treated with chiropractic care, then it can help alleviate some of the pain that can make everyday stress that much worse.
- It helps your posture - When you receive a chiropractic adjustment, the chiropractor is identifying and treating joint dysfunctions and restrictions in your spine and beyond. This can help to improve your posture as all your joints and muscles work together as they should, and better posture means more energy.
- It enhances your mood - Research has revealed that patients who undergo chiropractic care feel a boost in their mood as well as in their mental and emotional health. When your body is working like the well-oiled machine it was made to be and you're not suffering from even minor aches and pains, it can do wonders for your mood!
- It supports a healthy immune system - It's been well documented that patients of chiropractic display higher immunological responses than people who don't receive chiropractic care. When your central nervous system, which controls every aspect of your health, is working at its best, then it can spot potential trouble and kick your immune system into action.
There you have it, all the ways chiropractic care is proven to help make your life better -- and help you be a little happier, too!
