Chiropractic for Wellness
Some people see a chiropractor for general wellness. Every chiropractic adjustment has a dual benefit, structural and neurological. The structural benefit is more obvious. By realigning and decompressing the spine, chiropractors keep the musculoskeletal system functioning properly. This takes pressure off of bones, nerves, muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. When the spine is aligned, everything connected to the spine works better and feels better.
The second benefit of every chiropractic adjustment is neurological. The spine protects the spinal cord and all of the spinal nerves that come out of both sides of every vertebra. The brain, spinal cord, and nerves make up the nervous system which controls the entire body. The brain sends messages back and forth with the body over the spinal cord and the nerves. When the spine is in the right alignment, those messages can travel without any interference. A properly aligned spine is essential for the nervous system to function well and communicate with the body.
A healthy skeletal system helps the body feel better. A healthy nervous system helps the body communicate, heal, and function better. By ensuring better structural and neurological health, regular chiropractic care is a great way to maintain wellness.
