Top 5 Benefits of Chiropractic Care
1. Pain Reduction
2. Reduce Headaches
3. Improved Quality of Life
4. Reduced Medication Use
5. Performance
The first benefit of chiropractic care may be the most impactful- reducing your pain. Before you are living your optimal life, you
have to be free of pain.
Multiple research studies have shown that chiropractic is considered one of the most safe and effective treatments to reduce pain
from your neck, low back, and more. Even if you are suffering from spinal stenosis, disc herniations, or foraminal encroachmentchiropractic may be able to help.
The second health benefit of chiropractic care, especially important if you have struggled with chronic headaches. Researchers
have discovered that chiropractic care can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches.
With over 20 million people suffering from headaches every day, this is a massive development in healthcare! The most common
type of headaches includes; tension headaches and migraines. Tension headaches often include neck pain, muscle pain, and facial
pain. Migraines are usually throbbing, can cause nausea and light sensitivity, and some even include an aura.
Many 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 a healthcare issue that is keeping you for enjoying your hobbies, hanging out with friends and family, and limit your
ability to perform well at work- then you are likely going to start researching on Google and eventually call a doctor to get answers.
Fortunately, getting back to your active lifestyle, and improving your quality of life (or in science-speak, "functional ability") is one
proven benefits of chiropractic care.
Researchers have discovered that people who receive chiropractic care are 49% less likely to fill an opioid prescription. And, in my
opinion, if we were able to reduce opioid use by nearly 50% just be helping people get well with chiropractic care- this world
would be a different place!
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 seems like a good idea to not only reduce your medication use
but to get the best results possible.
Did you know that every major sports team has a chiropractor available to their athletes to help 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 keep their athletes
performing at their top level all season long.
No one can perform their best when in pain, so chiropractors are used to keeping the athletes feeling good, but with a focus and
eye towards sport-specific performance.
