Benefits of Routine Chiropractic Services
Routine Chiropractic Services Offer Several Benefits
Even though millions of individuals worldwide have experienced the tremendous health advantages of routine chiropractic services, there is still much misinformation about the specialty. Many believe chiropractic adjustments are only temporary remedies for joint pain and discomfort. Temporary adjustments are not the case. Chiropractic therapy provides many systemic health advantages that go far beyond momentary pain alleviation. So what type of advantages are we discussing? The professionals at Evexia Chiropractic go through the specifics below.
Joint Mobility and Function Have Improved
Chiropractic adjustments aid in the reduction and elimination of misalignments and limitations in the spine and peripheral joints. Though a single adjustment might have positive benefits, ongoing treatments are far more successful at maintaining optimal joint position, which naturally improves general mobility and function. Therefore, the Arthritis Foundation advises chiropractic therapy for people who want a non-surgical, non-medication approach to treating joint pain and function.
Reducing Musculoskeletal Discomfort
When your joints are misaligned, they cannot operate properly — period. Worse, incorrectly positioned joints put undue strain on the surrounding nerves, resulting in radiating muscle pain and acute discomfort around the damaged joint (s).
Misalignments also commonly cause overcompensation during many types of physical activity, increasing the risk of musculoskeletal pain and injury. Regular therapy fosters improved musculoskeletal health and pain reduction since chiropractic adjustments and therapeutic massage assists preserve and correcting the joint position and muscle health.
Physical and athletic performance enhancement
Spinal misalignments can interfere with the operations of many other physiological systems, reducing physical performance. Your body performs better when your spine and peripheral joints are correctly positioned!
In reality, professional and amateur athletes rely on chiropractic adjustments to maintain and improve their performance. For example, chiropractors make between 16,320 and 27,200 adjustments to NFL players in a single football season! Even our brutal Kansas City Chiefs rely on chiropractic to preserve their entire performance and well-being!
So, how much progress can you expect? After 12 weeks of chiropractic therapy, athletes’ hand-eye coordination improved by 30%, according to one research. Another research found that frequent chiropractic adjustments allowed 100 percent of runners with joint difficulties to continue or improve their training mileage. Finally, another research found that athletes increased their total physical performance by around 6% after receiving chiropractic therapy.
Tissue Healing Acceleration
A thoroughly trained and competent chiropractor is well-versed in injury diagnosis and the formulation of treatment plans. And when tissue injuries are accurately recognized and treated early, they almost invariably respond more quickly and positively to therapy. In certain circumstances, passive mobilization is the best option, while complete immobilization yields superior outcomes in others. However, selecting the most effective line of action is nearly tricky without a good diagnosis!
Unfortunately, injury misdiagnosis and wrong treatment frequently result in scar tissue formation, which further reduces mobility and pain. What if you already have painful, mobility-impairing scar tissue? Active Release Technique, often known as movement-based massage, will help you get your body back on track!
Nerve Signaling Enhancement
The nerves in your spine communicate with your brain to control hundreds of biological activities, requiring an open channel for best functioning. When the joints in your spine are misaligned, they can put too much pressure on the peripheral nerves that branch from your spinal cord. This compression essentially reduces the capacity of your nerves to transmit information to and from your brain, which can produce pain or interfere with regular systemic functioning.
Chiropractic therapy regularly helps maintain appropriate spinal alignment and relieves pressure on the nerves that emerge from the spinal column. And when your nerves can communicate information as intended, your entire body feels and functions better!
Reducing Inflammation
Inflammation is not necessarily detrimental; after all, it is an immune system reaction meant to promote healing. However, when inflammation becomes persistent, things can quickly deteriorate.
Chronic inflammation (ongoing swelling) occurs when your immune system remains unbalanced for a long time, and your body continuously generates inflammatory proteins, hormones, enzymes, and other chemicals. Unfortunately, it can impair your body’s capacity to combat acute inflammation caused by injury, slowing tissue repair, decreasing mobility, and limiting overall performance. This syndrome can also prolong musculoskeletal discomfort, disrupt normal physical functioning, and reduce the overall quality of life. Yikes.
Even though further research is needed, one study found that frequent chiropractic adjustments helped balance the body’s production of inflammatory mediators. Consequently, research participants with low back pain and inflammation had significant pain relief.
