Conditions that chiropractors treat

Chiropractors in Appleton heal a wide range of conditions. Most of the conditions they treat are related to neuromuscular system. Chiropractic care is also very effective in preventing health conditions. People who receive chiropractic care are less likely to experience any kind of organ failure. This article looks in to the conditions that are treated by chiropractors.

 

  • Back pain and neck pain

 

Physical manipulation of the spine is more effective in relieving pain than pain killers. Chiropractic adjustments relieve the pain in the back and neck regions for a longer period than painkillers. Painkillers only treat the pain. Chiropractic care on the other hand relieves the pain and treats the cause of the pain. Most of the back and neck pains are a result of poor posture.

 

  • Headaches

 

Headaches are one of the top conditions that chiropractors treat. Headaches are a common condition in human beings. Adults experience headaches more regularly than children. 90% of adults experience headache at least once every 3 days.

The frequency of headaches can be reduced by chiropractic care. Headaches are caused by a number of reasons including stress. Physical exercises and chiropractic adjustments relieve headaches.

 

  • Ear infections

 

In the late 19th century, a local healer healed a patient who was experiencing deafness. The healer simply adjusted nerves and the patient’s ability to hear was restored. Based on this chiropractors have studied how their techniques can help to prevent otitis media. Otitis media is a common condition in children. Other than preventing otitis media, chiropractic care heals this condition. This condition is caused by acid reflux. The treatment is based on the fact that the nerves that control the brain are connected. Nerves are highly responsive to neurological insult.

 

  • Blood pressure

 

Chiropractic care helps people with high blood pressure. The technique that helps in this area is the cervical adjustment. The effect of one cervical adjustment can last six months. This result is better than any drug can offer. The upper cervical adjustment lowers the blood pressure by a higher percentage than blood pressure lowering drugs.

 

Chiropractic care helps patients with low blood pressure too. Chiropractic adjustments help to raise their blood pressure to normal. The body has the ability to create the required homeostatic balanced environment after the necessary spinal adjustments are made.

 

  • Neurological disorders

 

Upper cervical adjustment also improves conditions of the brain. This adjustment improves the flow of the cerebral spinal fluid. Anomalies in the flow of this fluid cause a number of brain disorders. Chiropractic adjustments also reverse cerebellar invagination. This is a condition where the cerebellum shifts to a position that is below the line of the skull. Chiropractic care is also known to heal brain plaquing, which is a common condition in multiple sclerosis patients.
