Back and neck pain are the most common conditions treated by chiropractic care. Although chiropractors specialize in treating spinal problems, many long-term benefits of chiropractic care extend beyond spinal health. For example, a chiropractic adjustment can relieve pain, improve mobility, and boost your immune system. Find out why chiropractic care is a good option for long-term health.
Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments
Keeping your spine free of subluxations and aligned can positively impact your health. Chiropractic adjustments can help:
Keep your organs healthy— Correct spinal alignment improves the function of your organs because chiropractic adjustments directly affect the nervous system. Nerves in the spine are associated with specific organ systems. When your body can communicate freely, you'll be able to identify problems before they worsen. Therefore, you are less likely to develop chronic diseases and illnesses.
Improve your immune system's function — Keeping your nervous system free from interference will allow your immune system to function optimally. Staying healthy all year long can be achieved with a few chiropractic adjustments.
Improve your mobility and range of motion — Chiropractic treatments do more than just adjust your spine; they help reduce stiffness in the soft tissues around your spinal joints. You will be less likely to suffer from pain if you maintain a comfortable range of motion and increase your flexibility.
Increase your lung capacity — Most people don't think of chiropractic care as an option for increasing lung capacity, but studies show that it has this effect. As a result, your chances of suffering a heart attack, stroke, and other life-threatening cardiovascular problems are reduced.
Maintaining Spinal Health After the Pain is Gone
You may be tempted to stop seeing your chiropractor once you have relief from your pain. Consider rethinking your decision if this sounds familiar. Following your initial chiropractic treatment, your chiropractor will begin providing you with maintenance care, a plan that offers more than pain prevention. A maintenance plan could include stretching exercises and a chiropractic adjustment once a month or every other month to ensure your spinal health is properly maintained.
