What To Know About Chiropractic

Today, chiropractic care is used by many, but is still something a lot of people don’t know much about.
Chiropractic care can be the answer for many things. In addition to treating back pain, a chiropractor can treat injuries, chronic pain, headaches and musculoskeletal disorders.
Here’s what to know about chiropractic care.

Improve Nerve Health

Damaged nerves are common culprits of pain. Chiropractic manipulation helps relieve pressure on nerves, which makes them work more effectively.
The nervous system is complex and significant in the body’s overall function. Eliminating any stress on the nervous system can help the body’s ability to communicate, regulate and heal itself.

Chiropractic Is Very Old

Early forms of chiropractic care have been used for thousands of years. The first official chiropractic adjustment was performed in the 1895 by Dr. Daniel David Palmer.

Licensed

The amount of time it takes to get a license to be a chiropractor is similar to the amount of time medical school takes. To get a license, chiropractors must undergo four years of undergrad studies and then attend a chiropractic college for another four years. This includes residency and internship training, as well as the completion of certifications and licensing exams. Chiropractors are also required to take a certain number of hours of continuing education each year.

Many Benefits

Chiropractic isn’t just the back pain solution, it can also help with things such as headaches, fatigue and stress. It can help reduce inflammation and improve sleep, blood pressure, organ function and overall health.
Chiropractors also complement treatment with dietary advice and exercise recommendations, depending on the individual’s needs.

Sports Teams Use It

Many professional athletes, like New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, use chiropractic to improve performance and help with recovery. In fact, professional sports teams usually have a chiropractor on their staff.

Cost-Effective

One of the best things to know about chiropractic is that it is cost effective when compared to pain medications or surgery. Medications have been known to have side effects and can lead to addiction. Surgery is expensive and should be avoided if other therapies can do the job.
