How to Know When to See a Chiropractor

By Donna Stark

How do you know if you should make a trip to see your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic? Good question! Since we don't have any beeping notifications on our bodies that let us know when we should go in, it's difficult to make that decision. But our bodies do notify us and are fully capable of communicating that message in their very own, unique ways. Take a look at some of the more common messages below.

You Suffer From Pain

You may already know that back pain is one of the top reasons to see a chiropractor, but did you know that chiropractors treat other joint pain issues as well as headaches and migraines? It's time to stop masking your symptoms with pain relievers. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help reduce, and in many cases, eliminate the pain and discomfort you are feeling in a safe, effective, and natural manner.

Your Shoes are Unevenly Worn Out

Are you thinking that you bought yourself a pair of cheap shoes? Well, the quality of your shoes may not be the culprit here. It could be that your spine and hips are out of alignment! If your hips are not in the proper position, your legs won't be either and that can cause your feet to connect with the ground unevenly which can lead to problems from the tips of your toes all the way up to your back.

You Have the Tingles

A sure sign that your spine is out of alignment is when your hands and feet start to get the tingles. Numbness and tingling sensations are often caused by nerve irritation that stems in the spine. The adjustments that your local chiropractor will provide can help by removing the interference and irritation that is causing your nerves to become so angry.

You are Constantly Tired

If you are getting the recommended amount of sleep every night and are still fighting fatigue during the day, chiropractic care may be your solution. When your body is not functioning as it should or is dealing with pain, it will expend all its energy trying to fix what is wrong. Fortunately, the chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic are experts at finding the root cause of the problem and if it is caused by poor alignment, you can count on them to correct it!
