Chiropractors & Pain Relief: 5 Benefits You Didn't Know
Chiropractors are often associated with treating misalignment of the spine.
Studies show that 40% of patients seek out chiropractic care to enhance their health and for pain prevention. While this initiative is welcomed, chiropractors also offer a range of comprehensive treatment options for pain and stress relief associated with every part of your body.
Many people, even frequent patients, may be surprised to learn of these five additional health benefits that result from regular chiropractic treatment.
5 Unexpected Benefits of Chiropractic Care
1. Effective Headache Treatment
Studies have shown that chiropractors offer effective headache treatment, specifically when it comes to tension and migraine headaches.
Many people seek out chiropractic care as a natural alternative to taking pain medication.
To relieve and even prevent headaches, chiropractors manually adjust your spine through short quick thrust motions and deep stretches.
2. Improves Athletic Performance
There is a reason that 31% of NFL teams have chiropractors on their staff. Chiropractors not only treat pain as it naturally arises when playing intensive sports, but they help prevent it.
If you’re an athlete, regular visits to a chiropractor boost your performance by relieving muscle tension, decreasing stress and keeping you flexible. This also helps speed up the recovery process if you’re injured.
3. Prevents Surgery
Chiropractors use their physical therapy techniques both in recovery after surgery but also as prevention before it.
If you’ve been injured, a chiropractor will help you navigate natural, safe and noninvasive methods of treatment. This type of treatment makes you a collaborator in your recovery process and avoids addictive medications.
4. Better Sleep
Having trouble getting a good night’s sleep? Most sleep issues are directly related to pain and stress caused by muscle aches and imbalances within your body. Regular visits to a chiropractor relieves stress and manages any pain you’re feeling allowing you to sleep through the night.
5. Stress Relief
Misalignment of your spine causes a domino effect of other physical and mental issues in your body. When your body is unbalanced and not functioning properly, you can overcompensate which causes stress.
In addition to adjustments, chiropractors use massage and physical therapy to ease your muscles and your mind of built up tension.
