10 Ways Chiropractic Care Helps Men's Health

1. Better Sleep: Sleep problems can often be a result from stress or pain. Luckily chiropractic care can have a a major effect on both of these things.

2. Relieving Neck and Back Pain: 1 in 3 Americans suffer from low back pain at some point. Many lower back pain injuries are a result of of a motor vehicle accident, work injury, lifting injury, etc. Chiropractic care can address these issues and get you back to work and feeling great.

3. Headaches: Migraines, Tension headaches, Cluster headaches, and Sinus headaches. All of these can severely impact our day to day lives. There are chiropractic techniques that have been shown to help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches.

4. Reducing risk for other Health Concerns: Chiropractic is much more than treating pain. While it often does relieve muscle and joint pain it is also improving the way your brain and body communicate. When that communication is improved it can promote overall health and reduce risk for other disease.

5. Digestion: There are several nerves that travel from the spine to all the digestive organs. Spinal misalignments will have a negative effect nerves supplying all of the digestive organs and entire digestive system which can lead to symptoms like IBS, Chron's Disease, Ulcers, and GERD.

6. Posture: Sitting on a think wallet? Suffer from "text neck"? These are common problems we see that are extremely detrimental for spinal alignment and posture. Chiropractors are posture doctors!

7. Stress: The day to day stressors are sometimes overwhelming. The chiropractic adjustment releases stress that slowly builds up from physical, chemical, and emotional trauma.

8. Flexibility: Lack of flexibility and range of motion restrictions are predisposing factors to injury. Chiropractic care gets the spine moving to prevent new injuries and reduce flare ups of old ones.

9. Disc Herniation: Disc herniation or a "slipped disc" are a very common cause of low back pain, sciatica, and leg pain. Chiropractic techniques are specifically designed to treat disc herniation in a conservative manner.

10. Rib Pain: Sometimes you cough a certain way, sleep the wrong way, or sit in a weird position and all of the sudden it hurts to breathe. Spinal adjustments and soft tissue techniques we provide can alleviate muscle spasms, stabilize the joint, and reduce pain.
