Whether you are trying chiropractic care for the first time or getting adjusted for the first time in a while, it is always a good idea to understand how chiropractic can benefit your health and wellness as a whole. Many people are still under the impression that chiropractic is only for back pain. While the chiropractors at Preferred Chiropractic can help with that, there are many more benefits. Here are just a few ways that chiropractic can benefit you.
Increased Neck & Back Health
Chiropractic is a whole-body approach to health and focuses primarily on the health and optimal functioning of the central nervous system (CNS). One of our favorite side effects of this approach is that for many people, the overall health and the neck and back improves.
The hands-on approach used by Dr. Nathan Vanderloo and Dr. Shawnee Mangino removes joint restrictions and dysfunction from the spine, allowing optimal communication to take place uninterrupted between the CNS and the rest of the body This also helps decrease pain and improve mobility. When your CNS is working at its best, your overall health can improve with it.
Improved Immune System
Many of our patients report improved immune system function right along with neck and back health. This is also a result of the improvement of the health of the central nervous system. When the spine is free of joint restriction and dysfunction, it can focus more on fighting off illness in the body. So, you may find with regular chiropractic, not only are you sick less often but your illness lasts for a shorter period of time.
More Mobility Means More Activity
When your joints move freely without restriction or dysfunction, then the more active you will be. Chiropractic has been found to improve flexibility and range of motion, which can help you feel better and inspire you to get moving. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week for optimal health, and improved functioning through chiropractic care can help you achieve that goal.
Regular chiropractic care is an excellent way to improve your health and wellness. When you make it part of your healthcare routine, you may find you are less likely to be sick, enjoy better function overall, and are more active.
