Do you know how chiropractic benefits your health and wellness? Unfortunately, most people still believe that chiropractic care is exclusively for back pain. Although chiropractors can treat back pain, they offer so much more! Here are some fabulous ways realigning the spine can provide a health boost.
Chiropractic care combines a whole-body approach to your health, focusing on your nervous system and optimizing its health. Chiropractic treatment removes joint restrictions and dysfunction from the spine, enabling the central nervous system to communicate effectively with the rest of the body. It is not surprising that your overall health can improve when your central nervous system functions well.
Many patients notice an improvement in the health of their immune system at the same time as their spinal health! A better functioning central nervous system is responsible for the boost in immunity. In addition, an unrestricted spine can prevent disease by enabling your body to communicate efficiently and fight off foreign invaders that try to harm you.
A joint that can move freely and without restriction allows you to be more active. If your joints do not move correctly, your body will have to work overtime to maintain balance and putting unnecessary stress on those areas leads to inflammation and pain. In addition, as muscles become tight in the area when normal movement is not possible, tendons and ligaments shorten and stick together, causing that pain. Chiropractic care can help with realigning the spine and joints with regular chiropractic adjustments. A gentle, targeted chiropractic adjustment may be what your body needs to regain mobility.
You can achieve proper health and wellness by combining spinal adjustments with lifestyle changes. A healthy spine leads to a healthier you. Schedule an appointment at Wills Chiropractic to experience the many benefits of chiropractic firsthand.
The holiday season is coming, and chances are good that you’ll be spending a lot of time behind the wheel between the typical commute, shopping trips, and visiting friends and family. If you spend a lot of time driving, you find yourself with a stiff neck or a sore lower back. These stretches can help you stay pain-free so that you enjoy more of the goodness that the holidays have to offer.
Halloween is just around the corner, and with it comes the delightful chaos of trick-or-treating. Kids (and adults) will soon find themselves knee-deep in candy, excitedly sorting through their sugary loot. But while indulging in a sweet treat every now and then can be fun, it’s essential to consider the negative effects of sugar on our health. By understanding why you should avoid eating too much sugar and how to go about doing it, you can enjoy the occasional piece of Halloween candy with peace of mind.
