Chiropractic treatment is based on making adjustments to help your body into the right position to heal itself. When your spine is out of alignment, your body and immune system can waste valuable resources and energy that it could be using for disease prevention. A chiropractic adjustment can help correct this imbalance so your body can regain a state of homeostasis.

What Are the Health Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments?

1. Neck and Back Pain Relief

From sciatica to migraines, chiropractic adjustments have been shown to relieve many different forms of neck and back pain. In fact, many study participants have reported far greater satisfaction with the treatments provided by chiropractors than treatments provided by general practitioners. Spinal adjustments are also very effective in treating sciatica and other forms of lower back pain. Often, a reduction in back pain also reduces the occurrence of tension headaches and migraines in many patients.

2. Improve Neurological Conditions

Some new research suggests that chiropractic adjustments can improve cerebral spinal fluid and blood flow in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). There is also evidence that regular visits to the chiropractor can help treat epilepsy and seizures by correcting the vertebral subluxation causing the condition.

3. Lower Blood Pressure

Research showed chiropractic adjustment provided patients with the same effects as two blood pressure-lowering drugs. Just one treatment provided effects that lasted for more than six months. By allowing the body to bring itself to homeostasis, you may be able to reduce your dependence on blood pressure medication with your doctor’s approval.
