When to consider chiropractic care?

1. Aching Joints or muscle pain 
2. Chronic Pain
3. Migraines & Headaches

#1: Aching Joints or Muscle Pain

This is notably the most common issue that Chiropractors are specialised to treat. Chiropractic treatment addresses the hard tissue such as the spine and other joints. Chiropractor’s are specialised on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system. 

#2: Chronic Pain

When muscle pain and joints are left for a significant amount of time, the bones are more susceptible to developing chronic pain and discomfort. Up to 39% of individuals coping with just back pain alone. There are numerous treatment options available when it comes to chronic pain; however, many are choosing to switch to a more natural and holistic approach to their muskelatory health.

#3: Migraines & Headaches

Research has found that regularly seeing a chiropractor was effective in treating migraines in as many as 75% of subjects. When your spine is not properly adjusted, the nerves running from your spinal cord out to the body can be affected. The goal of the patient should not just be for temporary spine relief, but wellness overall.

#4: Sports Injuries 

Sports Injuries refer to a myriad of types, with symptoms such as:

• Loss of mobility and flexibility issues
• Loss of spinal movement and tightness/strain
• Muscle spasm and tightness from overuse 
• Muscle asymmetry (one side of the body is different from the other)
• Trauma caused during sport, placing stress on numerous parts of the body

Chiropractic is highly effective at strengthening muscles and improving overall mobility and functions of the musculoskeletal system. 

#5: Hernia Disc

Aging is the most common reason for a protruding hernia disc. As we age, the shock-absorbing spinal discs lose water and elasticity, making them stiffer and more susceptible to damage and injury. Chiropractor’s offer drug free pain relief that heals the body within, rather than merely masking the pain. They also reduce inflammation and relieves pressure of the nervous system. 

If you find yourself dealing with the mentioned symptoms, then it is advised to consult with your chiropractor as soon as possible to get back into shape!
