When was the last time you called a chiropractor for an appointment? Was it after a car accident to help with a bit of whiplash? Perhaps it was to help you get through that sciatic nerve pain during pregnancy?
If you're like most people, you don't think about seeing a chiropractor unless you're having some kind of back or neck pain. If that's so, you may be cheating yourself.
Why A Healthy Spine Is So Important
The fact is, chiropractic care encompasses so much more than just neck and backache relief. The spine is the central support for the entire musculoskeletal system, and any misalignment can cause pain or dysfunction throughout the body.
In addition, the spine's major job is to protect the Central Nervous System (CNS), which is responsible for controlling all of the body's systems and functions. A wide variety of conditions can be caused or exacerbated by a pinched or compressed nerve.
Conditions Chiropractors Commonly Treat
Because of how vital musculoskeletal alignment and the flow of nerve signals are to the body, there are a few conditions that chiropractic care can't help to some extent. Some of the most common conditions chiropractors work on are
- auto-immune diseases
- chronic pain
- mobility impairments
- headaches
- migraines
- cluster headaches
- arthritis
- bursitis
- temporomandibular (TMJ)
- sciatica
- trigeminal neuralgia
- bell's palsy
- lordosis
- scoliosis
- degenerative disc disease
- digestive disorders
- ear infections
- sinus problems
- weak immune system
Of course, preventative care with a chiropractor is a great way to get ahead of any illness or injury.
