Do you believe that chiropractors can only help with back pain? A wide range of conditions, some of which we’ll cover today, can be treated and prevented by chiropractors.
Reduce the Risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, injuries to the ligaments, tendons, joints, spine, neck, and supporting structures account for more than 70 million doctor visits annually in the United States. Instead of delaying seeking help until you are already experiencing the symptoms of an MSD, contact Ultra Chiropractic right away. We can strengthen your musculoskeletal system by combining spinal adjustments, manual massage therapy, and spinal decompression to ward off MSDs and the unwelcome symptoms they bring.
Alleviate Muscle Tension
The fact that chiropractic care relieves muscle tension is a common reason why patients request it. Muscle tension affects almost everyone at some point in their lives, regardless of gender, age, or background. This condition causes one or more muscles to remain constricted for an extended period of time. Chronic muscle tension can trigger headaches, body aches, high blood pressure, and other issues if it is not treated.
Neck Pain Relief and Prevention
Chiropractic care can also relieve and prevent neck pain, even though many people only receive it to treat back pain. In fact, a recent study found that chiropractic adjustments are the most successful form of treatment for neck pain, as reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine. For the study, researchers followed 272 patients receiving one of the three following treatments for neck pain: medication, exercise, or chiropractic. After receiving chiropractic care, 32% of patients reported a positive improvement in their neck pain, compared to just 30% who reported success with exercise and a paltry 13% who reported success with medication.
Better Posture
Of course, chiropractors can aid in improving poor posture. The spine may develop an unnatural curve over time, which can cause pain and discomfort. By making spinal adjustments and advising clients to change their lifestyles, Ultra Chiropractic can assist patients in resolving this problem.
Migraines and Headaches
Although we’ve previously covered this on our blog, it bears repeating that our chiropractors can help with headaches and migraines. A musculoskeletal system imbalance frequently results in headaches by overstressing various parts of the body. A healthy, natural musculoskeletal system can be encouraged and these imbalances can be fixed with a few visits.
