When Should You Visit a Chiropractor?

You may have heard that chiropractic care has many amazing benefits. Some of them are pain relief, increased mobility and a tougher immune system.  When we say pain relief, we want you to know that it isn’t the same relief as over-the-counter medications. It’s better. Relief from chiropractic care is a combination of instant and long-lasting, all the while remaining natural and non-invasive.

So when should you visit a chiropractor?

After a car accident.  Many people involved in a car accident experience whiplash. The pain this causes may subside in a few days. For others, this injury can begin a path of chronic pain and complications.  Chiropractic care incorporates many therapies that will provide pain relief, such as massage and ultrasound.  Even if you aren’t diagnosed as having whiplash, there are still many benefits to seeking chiropractic care after an automobile accident.

If participating in sports.  Athletes of all ages can benefit from continued chiropractic care. In fact, a lot of great athletes swear by it. After a sports injury, massage and adjustments are important for pain relief and to prevent later complications.  Because of the large amount of force places on the joints, muscles and bones during sports, we recommend all athletes seek chiropractic care following a sports injury.

If pregnant.  Many pregnant women mistakenly believe that chiropractic care is dangerous.  It isn’t.  In fact, there are many benefits to incorporating it into prenatal care.  Lower back pain is common in the later stages of pregnancy and a chiropractor can eliminate these pains. Regular adjustments during pregnancy may even lessen birth pains as well.

If you just gave birth.  After labor, a woman’s body goes through many changes.  Severe labor pains and difficult labors can lead to joint or spinal pain.  These are a chiropractor’s specialty.  Not only should you seek chiropractic care after birth, but bring your newborn in too.  Chiropractic care is safe for individuals of all ages and birth is not only difficult on the mother, but the child too.

Headaches.  Most of us get them, and boy do they suck. Daily stress can cause headaches, but there can be a more serious underlying cause.  For example, muscle spasms can cause spinal pressure.  A neck adjustment or realignment can alleviate the pressure and pain, freeing you of headaches and trips to the store for Advil.

Arthritis.  Many arthritis patients mistakenly believe that they will suffer for the rest of their lives.  It does not have to be that way.  It is possible to seek relief from chiropractic care.  Over-the-counter pain relief pills and surgery aren’t your only option.  A chiropractor can adjust joints to promote free movement and therapeutic massages can treat ongoing chronic pain.

If your child has a medical condition that causes them pain and discomfort.  When considering this, also think outside of the box.  A chiropractor can help your child with lower back pains and frequent headaches, but that is not all.  Chiropractic care, spinal and joint manipulation can all reduce the discomfort associated with frequent earaches, allergies, sleep disorders, and scoliosis.

When stress consumes your life.  All Americans are stressed. There’s really no way around it in today’s world.  Those who suffer from stress severe enough to have a panic attack cannot only benefit from relaxing therapeutic massages, but adjustments too.  Occasionally, an aggravated nerve route sends confusing messages to the brain.

If you just want to improve your health.  Overtime, it is easy to develop spine and joint problems.  These problems may be mild and may not even result in pain, but that may change later in life.  Chiropractic care also prevents free and healthy movement.  It does so with no medications or invasive procedures.  If you want your body to stay healthy, active, and natural, chiropractic care is the way to go.
