Chiropractic Care for Poor Circulation

By Donna Stark

If you are constantly dressed in layers or curled up under a blanket and your hands and feet are always cold no matter what month of the year it is, the concept of poor circulation probably isn't anything new to you, is it? After all, you have been living with the chills and cold extremities for years now, haven't you? But that doesn't mean it is normal. What it may mean is that you are suffering with poor circulation and if you would like to finally get some relief from it, you can do so by seeing your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic.

Chiropractic Care for Poor Circulation

Proper circulation is one of the most important functions in the body. It helps ensure that oxygen and nutrients are supplied to the brain and organs, it promotes a healthy immune system, and it removes waste from the body. Essentially, it's what makes our bodies work which is why it is so important to increase the flow of your blood if you have poor circulation. Here are some ways on how to do that naturally.

• Exercise - Daily exercise can help increase blood flow and is especially important if you must sit for extended periods of time during the day. Even just a moderate 30-minute workout can make a significant difference in your body's circulation.
• Nutrition - If you happen to love seafood, you'll be happy to know that the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish such as tuna, salmon, and sardines can help increase blood circulation. Also, don't forget foods that are rich in Vitamins C and E, ginger, and garlic too!
• Hydration - Don't let your water consumption slide to the bottom of your priority list. Drinking the recommended amount of water every day helps to flush toxins from your body, thin your blood, and improve circulation.
• Chiropractic care - If your body is not in correct alignment your circulation could be compromised. Fortunately, the adjustments that your chiropractor provides can remove the restrictions that may be preventing healthy blood flow and help bring your circulation back to normal.
