Are Skeletons Scaring You?
Spooky season may be in full swing, but skeletons don’t have to be scary when there is chiropractic care. Here’s how regular chiropractic adjustments can improve the health of your musculoskeletal system.
WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
Chiropractic care, according to the American Chiropractic Association, is a health care technique that focuses primarily on disorders of the central nervous system and musculoskeletal system and the effects those disorders have on the body as a whole. Although the main focus of chiropractic is the spine, it is about how the spine interacts and impacts the other systems of the body. Chiropractors find and treat problems that occur due to ill health of the spine., therefore improving the overall health of the body.
HOW DOES CHIROPRACTIC WORK?
That explanation sounds great, but what does it really mean and how does chiropractic care work? Essentially, chiropractors examine the health of the spine, look for problems, and then use their hands to correct those problems. Problems in the spine can lead to an array of issues throughout the body, including headaches, pain, a weakened immune system, sciatica pain and much more. The pain and problems vary from person to person, and we take great pride at Shields Chiropractic in our ability to treat patients with what is specific to their needs.
TREATMENTS AND BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC
If you’ve never received chiropractic care before, you are probably wondering what a treatment looks like. A chiropractor will typically use their hands to gently adjust the vertebrae of the spine. These adjustments, also known as spinal manipulations, remove restrictions from the vertebrae. When those interruptions are removed, the body and brain are better able to communicate meaning an improvement in health and wellness. Benefits of chiropractic care include pain relief, greater mobility, improved flexibility, fewer headaches, better focus, and many others. If you are looking to improve your musculoskeletal health, and therefore your overall health, chiropractic care can help.
