Top 5 Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Top 5 Benefits of Chiropractic Care

1.  Pain Reduction

The first benefit of chiropractic care is the #1 reason people visit the chiropractor, and it may be the most impactful benefit.  You can’t live your optimal life until you are free from the pain that slows you down.

Multiple research studies have shown that chiropractic is considered one of the most safe and effective treatments to decrease pain in the neck, back, and more.  No matter how small or severe your condition, chiropractic has a great chance of helping.

2.  Reduce Headaches

The second health benefit of chiropractic care is relief from headaches.  Researchers have discovered that chiropractic care can reduce the frequency and intensity of all types of headaches.

With over 20 million people suffering headaches every day, chiropractic can play a huge role in the field of healthcare.  The most common types of headaches include tension headaches, sinus headaches, and migraines.  Look for future posts on types of headaches and potential causes of each.

3.  Improved Quality of Life

Most people don’t go to the doctor when they have pain.  They go to the doctor when that pain interferes with their quality of life!

If you have an issue that is keeping you from enjoying your hobbies, hanging out with friends and family, or slowing you down at work, that is when you will most likely start looking for answers.

Fortunately, getting back to your active lifestyle and improving your quality of life is one of the proven benefits of chiropractic care.

4.  Reduced Medication Use

Researchers have discovered that people who receive chiropractic care are 49% less likely to fill an opioid prescription.  Our country currently faces an opioid crisis, for which lawmakers and officials are constantly searching potential solutions.  While this benefit of chiropractic care is to you primarily as the patient, it also could have far-reaching, world-changing effects.

Even what many people consider to be safe medications like NSAID’s contribute to over 100,000 hospitalizations, and over 3,000 deaths each year. Drugs should rarely be viewed as a first-line treatment for spinal pain. Your body is designed to move and recover, so going to a doctor focused on movement and recovery is a good idea to not only reduce your medication use but to get the best results possible.

5.  Performance

Did you know that every major sports team has a chiropractor available to their athletes to help them with injury prevention and sports performance?

That’s right, teams in the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL all have chiropractors integrated into their healthcare team to help their athletes performing at their top level all season long.

No one can perform their best when in pain, so chiropractors are used for keeping the athletes feeling good, but with a focus on aiding sport-specific performance.

Here for you always,
