Whether you are getting reacquainted with Wills Chiropractic or are entirely new to chiropractic, it’s always good to have an understanding of how chiropractic can benefit your overall health and wellness. Many people still hold the belief that chiropractic is only for treating back pain. While we can certainly help with that, there is so much more that chiropractic can do! Here are just a few of the many ways chiropractic can benefit your health.
The foundation of chiropractic is that it is a whole-body approach to health with a focus primarily on the health and optimal function of the central nervous system. One of our favorite side effects of this approach is that with chiropractic adjustments comes improved back and neck health.
The hands-on approach at Wills Chiropractic removes joint restriction and dysfunction from the spine, which allows for improved communication between the body and the central nervous system. This aids in decreasing pain and improving mobility and when your central nervous system is functioning as it should, your health and wellness as a whole improves with it.
Many of our patients find that as their neck and back health improves, so too does their immune system health. This is also due to the improved functioning of the central nervous system. When spinal and joint restrictions and dysfunctions are removed, your body is better able to fight off illness so you can stay healthy and recover quicker. Like so many of our other patients, you may find you are sick less often and for a shorter period of time.
When your joints move without restriction and dysfunction, you will find yourself becoming more and more active. Nobody wants to move around when their body is hurting, right? Chiropractic is known to improve flexibility and range of motion, which helps you to feel better and may even inspire increased activity. It is recommended that you get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity each week, and when you feel great thanks to chiropractic care, that will be easier than ever!
Chiropractic adjustments are an excellent treatment to improve your overall health and wellness. When it becomes a regular part of your healthcare routine, you will enjoy an improved immune system, a better functioning body, and more energy and activity.

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.
