Have you been suffering from back, neck or joint pain for weeks and don't know what else to do? Maybe you've already tried massages, medications or even exercises... but the relief only lasts for a short while. Stick around, because here we explain what is chiropractic and why it may be the natural, long-lasting solution you're looking for.
What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on the nervous system and spine. Its main objective is to improve spinal alignment for the body to function better, naturally, without drugs or surgery.
Chiropractors do what is known as chiropractic adjustmentsThe movements are gentle, controlled and specific movements to correct the position of the vertebrae.
Why does this matter? Because your spine protects your spinal cord, and from there come the nerves that control your entire body, from your digestion to your muscles and joints.
If a vertebra is out of place, those nerves can be affected... and that's when the pain starts.
What kind of pains does it help to relieve?
Chiropractic can help with many types of discomforts, especially chronic pains (those that have been with you for a long time and do not go away). Some of the most common are:
- Low back pain
- Sciatica (pain down the leg)
- Neck pain
- Joint pain (such as knees, shoulders or wrists)
- Muscle tension or stiffness
In many cases, those pains are not coming from where you think they are. For example, if your leg hurts, the problem may actually be in your back. The same goes for arm or jaw discomfort: many times the origin is a misalignment in the spine.
What is a chiropractic consultation like?
In a typical visit with a chiropractor, the following is done:
- They ask you about your symptoms and health history.
- They evaluate you physically: they check your posture, mobility and reflexes.
- They explain if there are misalignments in your spine.
- They give you a smooth fit to release tension and restore natural movement.
No painand many people feel relief from the first session.
What does this have to do with digestion or sleep?
Much more than you might think. When the nerves coming out of your spine are compressed or strained, they can affect basic functions such as digestion, sleep or daily energy.
Because of this, many people report that after receiving chiropractic adjustments, not only does their back hurt less, but they also sleep better, digest better and feel more relaxed.
Why choose chiropractic?
Because it is natural, safe and focused on the cause of the pain, not just on hiding it.. Unlike medications, which only dull the symptoms for a while, chiropractic seeks to correct what is causing the problem.
