Chiropractic treatment promises the hope of getting better and living a life without pain, but the best part is that it promises all that without involving drugs or surgery. If that alone is not enough to convince you to see a chiropractor, consider the five reasons mentioned below in details.
Stress Busting
The Central Nervous System (CNS), which consists of the spinal column and the brain, is wholly responsible for everything we feel, including pain and stress. As a chiropractor basically helps you in getting your spinal column and other joints back into the most naturally aligned position possible, stress relief is an assured effect after every chiropractic session.
Mood Lift
Chiropractic treatment is often related to mood lifts post session and the reason for that can be divided into two parts.
- It’s hard to be cheerful when you are hurting, but when that pain is removed or significantly decreased, a better mood is an inevitable result.
- As the CNS is responsible for all emotions and feelings, getting it to align and work in the most productive and comfortable manner leads to the same effect gained from taking antidepressants and anxiety medications.
Sound Sleep
Just like other essential needs of the human body, we also need sufficient sleep in order to remain physically and psychologically fit. This, however, becomes a challenge when your entire body hurts, especially at night. As you wake up or simply leave the bed after a bad night, the pain is made even worse. Regular chiropractic sessions can help end this situation by realigning and readjusting all the joints, bones, nerves and muscles that have been displaced over time. As a result, not only will you sleep better at night but you will also sleep in a better posture to avoid long-term damage to your spine and joints, which is often a result of bad sleeping habits.
Better Posture
Long sessions in front of the computer, poor sleeping habits, misinformed exercise routines and, of course, age are the prime reasons why we develop posture issues. This can lead to frequent sprains and pain near the neck and the lower back in particular. If left untreated, it can eventually turn into severe conditions such as spondylitis, sciatica, etc. A chiropractor can push bulging discs and straightened neck curves back into place with time – and without the need for surgery.
Migraine Relief
Chiropractors are particularly effective in managing headaches such as migraines. Migraines are not properly understood yet, but it is known that there is a clear relation between an onset of a migraine and release of neuropeptides from the trigeminal nerve, alongside lowered serotonin levels. As chiropractic treatments largely work on the principle of keeping the nervous system working like it should, its effectiveness against migraines and most other types of headaches are not really surprising.
Now that you know how a chiropractor can help you lead a better life, head over to echiropractor.org to find all the information you need to identify your problem areas and find a solution for them. Popping a painkiller is a temporary solution when you begin suffering from joint or spinal pain, but it’s not really a solution in the long term.
Bone strengthening activities, like jumping, are especially important for children and adolescents. These activities produce a force on the bones that promotes bone growth and strength.
I had no idea that seeing a chiropractor could be so helpful. It’s awesome that they can help me sleep better because my body won’t have as much pain. Sleeping has been hard for me recently, so I’ll have to look into seeing a chiropractor!
Thanks for such a helpful post! I agree with your points that in this modern era it is important to visit a chiropractor regularly. Everyone has a busy schedule and no time for regular exercise so just for good health, it is really important.
Chiropractors are very helpful in dealing with managing therapies and pain. It is a helpful method that is widely accepted and used even by professional standard.
I’ve been bothered by back pain for almost three weeks now. It’s been my affecting my daily chores and I can’t even carry my baby even just for half an hour. A friend suggested seeing a chiropractor, but I’m still not sure if the procedure he described is going to suit me well. Reading your article had been very helpful and convincing on my side because of the stress-relieving claim. Being a full-time mom is starting to take a toll on me and by saying the process can lift my mood and allow me to sleep better, I know I should give it a try.
I agree with you that nothing works better than Chiropractor for pain management and lifting up the mood. Certainly better than medication and ensures better long term health benefits.
