You may have heard someone say this before; maybe you’ve even said it once or twice, yourself: “My [back, neck, hip, etc] doesn’t hurt right now, so I don’t need to see my chiropractor.”
While that seems like a logical conclusion, chiropractics are about more than just adjusting pain away. In fact, there are many benefits of chiropractic care that have nothing to do with reducing aches.
Today, we’re focusing on the top five reasons you may want to visit your chiropractor more frequently.
For 50 million Americans coast to coast, allergies are a normal challenge of life — this statistic accounts for both seasonal allergies and frequently reoccurring allergies. While chiropractic services may not defeat allergies entirely, a proper adjustment has been known to boost the immune and nervous systems by up to 200%. Not only will such improvements help the body filter out allergens quicker, it may also protect you from other illnesses, such as the common cold and the flu.
The average person breathes 23,404 times a day. Now imagine if one quarter of those breaths (5,760) were accompanied by coughing, chest tightness or wheezing. For 25 million Americans who suffer from asthma, these struggles occur nearly every day. Keeping in mind the benefits of chiropractic care, a proper adjustment can promote better posture, reduce stress and even correct irregular breathing patterns, all of which can help to open up the breathing airways.
Not only is stress detrimental to your oxygen intake, stress can also effect your blood pressure in a big way. Although physical exercise is still considered one of the best solutions for stress management, chiropractic services can re-aline the nervous system through the spine while relaxing your muscles, allowing your body to release built-up tension. Research also shows that choosing a chiropractic method for stress management can be as effective on blood pressure as taking two prescribed medications; you may also notice an improvement in your mood.
By now, you understand how continuous stress can effect your breathing and your blood pressure, so it probably comes as no surprise that stress also disrupts your quality of sleep. By utilizing chiropractic techniques to lower your stress levels, your body will be filled with less tension that can keep you up at night. A proper adjustment may even help insomnia patients lessen or prevent the symptoms of their condition.
Whether you occasionally feel off-balance due to allergies, inner-ear issues or good old fashioned fatigue, the benefits of chiropractic care can help you here, as well. By correcting the movement of certain joints and muscles around the neck, minor episodes of dizziness to extreme bouts with vertigo can be more easily managed or completely eliminated.
Have you been plagued by any of the challenges listed above? Maybe you’ve even tried prescription drugs or other conventional forms of treatment to manage your symptoms, but they haven’t worked.
Why have’t they worked, you ask? Because managing your symptoms aren’t enough. Instead, you can directly fix the issues that are causing you trouble!

"Before coming into Vital Force Clinic, I had constant migraines which kept me from living my life. I also had back pain, shoulder pain, jaw clicking... I was a mess. I almost lost my job because of how many days I was calling in sick. I haven't taken a sick day from work since starting care. Now I feel amazing! The migraines are gone and other than an occasional headaches, I feel like a new person." Cynthia C- Kirkwood, MO
It's always amazing to me the lengths people will go through to try and get their health back. I understand why, we know what it used to feel like, and we want that back. The unfortunate part is that some people often travel down the wrong road to get there. The treatments for migraines are for symptoms, not getting to the cause. Honestly I don't think many doctors even know the cause. I'm here today to tell you it isn't bad luck, there is a cause, it is correctable, and its actually a simple concept to understand.
The Cause:
Quoting from Healthline (an online health resource)--
"Migraine headaches are a bit of a mystery. Researchers have identified possible causes, but no definitive causes have been declared. Possible theories include:
The cause really is a mystery to the medical profession. We have figured out how to reattach limbs and visualize things on a molecular level but a very common problem like migraines, we just don't know the cause. Or do we... The first theory is what I'm going to focus on. It's what chiropractors do. There is a word in chiropractic: Subluxation-- we could define it as "central nervous system disorder" but I'll be more specific. There are highly mobile vertebrae in the neck, especially C1, that allow us to move our heads in multiple directions. There are injuries that occur in our lives that cause a breakdown in the system that holds everything in place, these injuries could be a small thing like a slip on the sidewalk, or a big thing like a whiplash. But the wrong force, in the wrong direction, at the wrong time can cause a subluxation, and for some people that can cause a lifetime of misery.
