Chiropractic Care – Your Gateway Towards Wellness

The larger percentage of individuals who seek chiropractic care do so for neck pain, backaches, and problems with their joints. But did you know that chiro can also remedy other conditions? It’s one of the most holistic, most effective treatment approaches, and one that’s good enough to be your primary healthcare option.
A Ticket Towards Wellness
To a certain extent, most health issues are caused by — or have something to do with — a breakdown in the relationship between the main structures of the human body (muscles, bones, and nervous system). Chiropractic therapy, which is largely centered around these crucial relationships, effectively addresses the very sources of pain and discomfort by employing a number of refined techniques to correct abnormalities across the three structures.
Here’s an overview of the various conditions that can benefit from chiropractic care:
– Headaches:
Most headaches result from postural abnormalities. Specifically, poor posture can interfere with circulation and cause irritation along nerves on the upper spine. Chiropractors use manipulative therapy to address the imbalances caused by poor posture, which subsequently relieves the discomfort they cause. They will also recommend stretching exercises that will help in improving your body mechanics.
– Whiplash:
While whiplash injuries are associated with pain on the upper neck, they can also cause discomfort elsewhere; limbs, chest, and other areas with soft tissues. As such, anything beyond mild whiplash can greatly diminish your ability to go about regular day-to-day activities. A few sessions with your chiropractor can make all the difference here. The doctor will administer heat or cold therapy to relieve pain and soreness, along with adjustments that’ll promote healing.
– Sports injuries:
Chiropractic also helps with common sports injuries like sprains and strains. Our rehabilitative program includes both pain-relieving and restorative therapies. We can prescribe specific exercises to prevent injuries from recurring in the future.

– Arthritis:
Far more incapacitating than a typical sports injury, arthritis can affect people of all ages. Chiro can mitigate some of the factors that cause or aggravate the condition, including inflammation and age-related tissue breakdown. Besides, chiropractic adjustments can help in restoring mobility on affected joints.
– Carpal tunnel syndrome:
This notorious work-related condition is known to cause its victim’s physical and mental distress, but chiropractic can provide relief on both fronts. Manipulative therapy has proven quite effective in alleviating pain and numbness; this will empower you to reclaim ownership of your limbs if you’re one such victim. And crucially, you won’t have to rely on painkillers for relief — at least not as much as you currently do.
– Disc herniation:
Tiny shifts along the spinal column can cause all kinds of discomfort, from local pain to numbness and weakness on your limbs. Chiropractic treatments will correct the herniation and forestall further damage.
The beauty of chiropractic care is that it doesn’t rely on surgery or drugs, which means it seldom brings side effects. So there’s no reason why you shouldn’t give it a try — get in touch with your local chiropractor and start your journey towards wellness.
