Chiropractic Is Not for Back Pain Only!

Q. I thought Chiropractic only helped with back pain. Is this true?

A. I hear this statement a lot in my office. It’s true; we do see many people with back pain. Chiropractic does an amazing job helping people find quick relief from a sore back. By adjusting the spine and removing pressure off the spinal nerves our body restores its normal energy and tone, this will relax the muscles and decrease the pain. The most amazing thing about Chiropractic is that it can help with so much more. Here are a few of the things that we’ve helped with in my office recently that have nothing to do with back pain:

*Colic in an infant, *Blood pressure,*Lower triglycerides and cholesterol, *Weight loss, *Dropping body fat %, *Watery eye, *Ankle sprain, *Ear infection, *TMJ Syndrome, *Acid reflux, *Not sleeping well, *Low energy levels, *Blindness in one eye, *Torticollis (spasm of neck muscle in an infant), *Bed wetting, Carpal Tunnel, *Plantar fasciitis, *Hormone problems, *Blood sugar and glucose levels, *Irritable Bowel Syndrome, *Constipation, *Overall stress, *Asthma and *Hearing loss.

I’m not saying that Chiropractic is a cure for all these problems. But, by improving the function of the nervous system and making the necessary lifestyle changes these problems can be helped without drugs or surgery.
Most of these symptoms would have been treated with a quick prescription. I get to see the amazing ways that someone’s body can heal itself without medications through chiropractic care. If you know someone who is suffering needlessly, or dependent on their medications for relief, find a Chiropractor to help them on a new path to health.
