October is recognized as National Chiropractic Health Month in the United States. The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) devised this campaign to raise public awareness about the benefits of chiropractic care and its role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. One of the reasons Dr. Chris Walker founded Walker Chiropractic is that chiropractic treatment provides a medication-free approach to preventing injury, reducing pain, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Here’s how it works.
Chiropractic prevents injury
Many athletes get regular chiropractic treatment as a proactive way to prevent injuries, such as sprains and strains, back and neck pain, repetitive stress injuries, and overuse injuries. By giving patients improved balance and coordination, increased flexibility and range of motion, and a better sense of well-being, chiropractors help prevent injuries.
Chiropractic reduces pain
Regular chiropractic treatments are a great way to reduce back and joint pain. Chiropractors are trained to manually align your spine and joints so they function properly. When your spine is out of alignment, known as a subluxation, you can feel back pain and muscle tension. When your spine is in proper alignment, signals can flow freely from your brain to your body and back, improving your overall well-being and reducing pain without the use of medications.
Chiropractic maintains a healthy lifestyle
Another benefit of chiropractic treatment is that it helps you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Chiropractors teach patients a variety of exercises to maintain good health. Chiropractors are well-versed in proper posture to prevent pain and improve focus while working or studying. Chiropractic treatments also have been known to reduce anxiety and high blood pressure and help patients sleep better.
