Chiropractic Adjustments Do you struggle with pain? Back and neck pain, the most common complaints in patients seeking chiropractic help, can chip away at every part of your life. Spinal manipulation or adjustment is a holistic therapy that focuses on maintaining a healthy body and overall wellness by properly aligning the spine. Basically, it helps replace your body into a position where it’s allowed to heal, which can also free up your immune system to focus on keeping you healthy, think clearly, move effortlessly, and perform better. This treatment also works with old or new trauma while increasing range of motion and reducing nerve irritability, thus improving function. While many people find spinal manipulation to be scary, it is actually quite safe. In fact, the World Health Organization states, “when employed skillfully and appropriately, chiropractic care is safe and effective for the prevention and management of a number of health problems.” However, there may be some slight side effects, such as discomfort, headache, and fatigue, which go away around 24 to 48 hours. While there are many reasons to visit a chiropractor, the top reasons to be adjusted include: Back and neck pain (especially lower back pain) Headaches Ear infections Arthritis or joint pain Asthma Scoliosis Blood pressure Organ function Surgery prevention Healthy pregnancy One of the best things about chiropractic adjustment is that it’s a drug-free and surgery-free way of healing naturally, but here are the other top benefits associated with chiropractic adjustments: Faster pain relief Because chiropractors can quickly identify the mechanical issues that cause your pain, they can also provide nearly immediate relief... by newlife | Jun 3, 2016 | Uncategorized
Pregnancy is an important time in a woman’s life. It is an important time because a woman must take extra care in a variety of ways to ensure a healthy prenatal experience. One of the most intense elements during gestation, especially as the pregnancy progresses, is increased stress on the spine and joints. The protrusion and added weight to the structure can cause this stress. The added weight will pull the spine and joints out of alignment and can also result in pelvic misalignment. Increased weight bearing upon the spine, joints, and pelvis can lead to pain and discomfort. Fortunately, chiropractic care can help to realign the posture of a pregnant woman and relieve some pain and discomfort as well as result in a healthier delivery. The effects on posture as a result of being pregnant can lead to complications. According to American Pregnancy, “This can affect the mother’s ability to have a natural, non-invasive birth. Breech and posterior positions can interfere with the natural ease of labor and lead to interventions such as C-sections”. Such effects are because the spine serves as the information highway of the body. Pregnancy compromises this message highway, often causing nervous system miscommunication. Keeping the spine aligned through chiropractic care can lead to a healthier delivery through better communication between the reproductive and nervous systems, due to an aligned spine. “New Life Chiropractic and Wellness”, a Santa Clarita chiropractor, can help to ensure that the body stays in alignment through the pregnancy. A trained professional will assess the patient’s current posture, make recommendations for postural re-alignment, and make suggestions on how...
