Forget the Quick Fixes! See Your Chiropractor Today

By Donna Stark

I think I am a pretty smart person, it’s not too often that I “miss the obvious” of whatever circumstances are going on in my life. But sometimes, I feel as if I am just too busy to deal with that nagging pain, the dull headache, or that sore spot on my body. If you are anything like me, it can be all too easy to ignore what your body is trying to tell you, but sometimes, you actually have to stop what you are doing and listen. That’s because your body is trying to convey something. It may be whispering to you, or it may be screaming loud and clear, but whatever the volume, it’s telling you that it is time to take heed and head on in to see your local chiropractor.

Be Careful with the Quick Fixes

Sure, a cup of coffee may boost your energy when you feel tired and those pain pills can help you get through the rest of the afternoon, but quick fixes don’t get to the root of the problem. Silencing your symptoms is not doing you any favors, and if you do attempt to listen but don’t know what your body is trying to say, you need to find an interpreter. That’s where your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic can help. Let’s take a look at some common symptoms that you may be misinterpreting and how chiropractic care can make a difference.

• Exhaustion - If you are always waking up feeling exhausted or if you are running out of steam before it’s time for lunch, that usually means something is getting in the way of quality sleep. It could be stress, pain, or a poor sleep environment, but whatever it is, your local chiropractor can help with treatments and recommendations. Chiropractic adjustments help by removing the nerve interferences that can often cause nighttime disruptions, which will leave you feeling healthier and more energized.
• Digestive problems - Your chiropractor knows that dealing with digestive issues and stomach pain can be frustrating, but did you know that poor alignment of your spine can affect digestion? Chiropractic adjustments remove restrictions and places your spine in proper alignment, and in doing so, your nervous and digestive systems are able to function at an optimal level.
• Back and joint pain - Unless you just finished a full-contact game of rugby and were always on the bottom of the pile of humans, pain in your back and joints shouldn’t be accepted as normal. Your local chiropractor treats the source of your pain with targeted adjustments and removes any joint restrictions that are causing you problems.
