Chiropractors are healthcare providers who use manual manipulation techniques to examine, treat and rehabilitate health conditions affecting bones, muscles, and joints. Chiropractors receive similar training and patient experience as medical doctors.
Chiropractic treatment Adelaide employs manual manipulations to alleviate pain and aid the body’s natural healing processes, typically targeting spine-related conditions but sometimes also treating other parts of the body depending on individual conditions.
Relieves Pain
Chiropractic adjustments (commonly referred to as spinal manipulation) are perhaps the most renowned therapeutic services offered by a chiropractor. Spinal manipulation entails using hands or instruments to apply controlled force into joints which have become restricted due to tissue injury, forcing their movement back into its natural range of motion.
Tissue injuries may arise as the result of either an abrupt event, such as a fall, or slowly over time through repetitive stress. When tissues experience injury, physical and chemical changes occur that lead to pain, decreased function and inflammation – with tight muscles tightening further delaying healing time and increasing pain levels in affected areas.
Chiropractic treatments provide relief and enhance joint/muscle function by restoring normal alignment, increasing blood flow to affected areas, and increasing flexibility. Chiropractors may recommend specific dietary and lifestyle changes that support healthy back/neck/joint function. It is wise for patients with osteoporosis or taking blood-thinners prior to receiving chiropractic treatments.
Enhances Immune System Function
Your immune system plays an essential role in your health and wellbeing. Communication between the nervous and immune systems runs through the spinal cord; any interference caused by vertebral subluxations (shifts in spine) can obstruct this communication and prevent full functioning of immune system. Regular chiropractic treatment removes obstructions to communication allowing immune system to reach full potential.
Chiropractic treatment Adelaide also reduces stress levels, another factor which can inhibit immune system response. One study concluded that those living under chronic stress who received regular adjustments experienced an increase in CD4 cells – an essential part of immunity.
With the coronavirus pandemic in full force, many are turning to chiropractors for relief beyond neck and back pain relief. Unfortunately, however, some practitioners are making claims regarding immune benefits of spinal manipulation which contradict scientific evidence; consequently Armstrong has filed numerous complaints against these practitioners for misrepresenting chiropractic.
Increases Energy Levels
Have you noticed how energetic you become when free from pain? That is because your body expends so much energy combatting pain that this saps away energy that could otherwise be used elsewhere.
Chiropractic treatment of spinal misalignments will often provide a natural energy boost. This is because your central nervous system and spine work together to communicate with other systems within your body; when they are out of alignment, their communication channels can become compromised, leading to energy drain.
A chiropractor will address your issues by restoring proper balance to the nervous and endocrine systems, helping to avoid nutritional deficiency or other causes that lead to fatigue. Doing this will not only increase energy levels but will also allow you to focus on tasks without feeling so run down; additionally, sleep will become improved at night which will contribute to maintaining overall good health.
Improves Sleep
Struggling with getting enough rest can have devastating repercussions for every aspect of life. Achieve restful sleep could help protect against serious medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, depression anxiety and weakened immunity systems.
Chiropractic treatment Adelaide goes beyond providing temporary relief from sleep issues with over-the-counter remedies and sleeping pills, by targeting their source: muscle tension caused by back pain and stress. By relieving this tension through soft tissue techniques used by chiropractors, they address both the source of insomnia as well as promote healthier sleeping habits for better restful nights of restful rest.
Chiropractic adjustments help relieve tension on your nervous system, making it easier to fall and stay asleep through the night. Holistic chiropractors focus on holistic wellness practices like stress reduction, eliminating inflammatory foods from diet, exercising and more in order to promote better restful slumber – all naturally and with no side effects associated with sleeping pills or pharmaceutical solutions.
