Chiropractors know adjustments are good for your general health. But what do chiropractors know that the rest of us do not?
They know the nervous system is the one system in the body that affects every other system. This is because nerves conduct sensory information from every part of the body and delivers this information to the brain. Then, the brain analyzes the information to determine what the body needs to maintain a healthy state. The health of this system is paramount to the health of the rest of the body.
Chiropractors recognizes misalignments in the spine can interfere with proper nervous system function known as subluxations. When this occurs, imbalances cause irritation and inflammation. Chiropractors are the only health care professionals specifically trained to locate and correct spinal subluxations.
Where’s the Proof?
Scientific research focused on the use of chiropractic adjustments for low back pain, neck pain and headaches. Now, there is clear evidence to recommend chiropractors as the go-to professionals for spinal pain syndromes.
Recent reports from the Center for Disease Control state, the four most popular forms of alternative and complementary medicine were listed as: natural products, deep breathing, meditation and chiropractic!
In a multi-nation study results showed that a number of patients experienced systemic benefits from their chiropractic treatments whether or not they mentioned any symptoms in these areas at the onset of care. The most common benefits reported in this study were breathing (27%), digestion (26%) and circulation (21%).
Adjustments were shown to decrease blood pressure, a leading cause for preventable death in North America. The study stood up to medical scrutiny and showed unequivocally that vertebral subluxations can be detrimental to the health of the individual.
From these research results, chiropractors clearly have a greater role in your health and wellness than just treating sore backs. Chiropractic care should be considered an invaluable tool for you to not only help you feel well, but to also help you BE well
