Most people may not realize that a maladjusted spine can be the source of many other physical ailments that may seem unrelated.
Believe it or not, anything from suspected allergies to frequent recurring colds can be caused by subluxations.
Although alternative medicine can be downplayed or even condemned by mainstream medicine, millions of satisfied patients who lead productive and pain free lives testify to the success of chiropractic treatments.
Those wishing to find a chiropractor and live under the care and guidance of a licensed chiropractor will discover the benefits that will ensue.
In addition to relief for common back and neck pain, chiropractic care can yield better sleep, fewer seasonal illnesses, and better concentration.
Sleep is the primary way the human body can restore itself through cell turnover and optimal brain function.
However, when sleep is frequently disrupted or a person cannot sleep for more than a few short hours, every body system will be negatively affected.
When spinal problems are restored to normal, many people report a marked improvement in their quality and quantity of sleep.
In addition, chiropractors can also help with proper sleep positioning and will be able to recommend mattresses or pillows that will help.
When abnormal pressure is placed on nerves around the spinal column due to vertebral subluxations, the immune system cannot respond as it should when bacteria or viruses invade.
When the spine is put back into alignment, the nerves return to their prior sensitivity and the immune system is once again able to function properly.
As many as 85% of people receiving chiropractic care report far fewer illnesses such as colds or influenza than the general population.
The body is a miraculous, fine tuned instrument in which body systems communicate and work together in harmony.
Even though as people age, one or more systems begin to experience problems; the body is remarkably resilient and able to continue functioning.
However, chiropractors believe that there is no need to accept declining memory, concentration, loss of flexibility, or other age related issues.
Proper alignment allows the body's communication systems to be opened, thus, relieving problematic symptoms such as lack of focus or concentration.
