Why Choose Chiropractic Care in Chattanooga TN

1. Increase Your Energy!

Many of us are constantly running on low energy. We may use soda or coffee to spike our energy levels when needed. In studies Chiropractic care has been shown to improve energy levels without the use of stimulants. How is this possible? When our bodies are in pain, we exert extra energy. By correcting misalignments in the spine, chiropractic care can help reduce pain, therefore increasing energy. It’s a win-win!

2. Improve Your Digestion

Gastrointestinal disorders impact the majority of Americans today not only adults but babies too. The nerves that run through the spinal region also control digestion. If the vertebrae of the spine are misaligned, the nerves become irritated, which can send erratic signals to the stomach area, leading to constipation, bloating, or excess gas. Spinal adjustments can help the nerves in the spine function properly, resulting in decreased stomach problems. This works for both adults, teens and infants alike!

3.Boost Your Immunity!

Our immune system is the body’s first line of defense to fight viral or bacterial infections. Nutrition, posture, exercise, and a healthy spine all contribute to maintaining immune system health. A healthy immune system can fight off most mildbacteria and viruses on its own. But spinal misalignment can reduce the ability of our immune system to operate at full capacity. Spinal adjustments by a chiropractic professional can help realign the spine. This in turn frees up the immune system to fight off bacterial and viral infections. Studies have shown that patients who get regular chiropractic care have fewer colds than people who do not seek the help of a chiropractic doctor. They have also shown that a single Chiropractic Adjustment can boost your immune system function by 10x for a period of 24-48 hours! Can you see how chiropractic care can help you avoid or even fight off the fu?

4. Lower Your Blood Pressure!

Studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments may lower blood pressure among certain patients. This may occur in patients with a misaligned C-1 vertebra also known as an Atlas misalignment.An Atlas adjustment may have significant positive effects on a patient’s blood pressure. Our patients can attest, we have helped hundreds of people with the goal of lowering their blood pressure!

5.Benefits for Pregnancy!

Pregnancy is hard on the body – ligaments in the pelvis loosen to allow for child rearing and weight gain places additional pressure on the spine. An extended stomach can result in an increased curve of the back, which can lead to adaptations to your posture. Regular spinal adjustments throughout a women’s pregnancy can help alleviate these stresses on the body. Chiropractic care can help you maintain a more comfortable pregnancy while relieving pain in your back, neck, hips or joints and also allow for a more comfortable birthing process and who doesn’t want that?

 

6. Improve Your Breathing!

Whether you have allergies, bronchitis, or asthma, breathing issues can significantly impact the quality of your life. Muscles in the chest, neck and ribs all support breathing, and fast, shallow breaths can put extra strain on these muscles. Many times, this is caused by stress. The spinal column plays an important role in your central nervous system, and spinal misalignments can impede the flow of signals through your body. Chiropractic care can help you breathe easier. There are many studies and personal experiences of patients under chiropractic care finding life long relief to allergies and asthma!
