How often do you catch yourself complaining about back and neck pains?
If you're like me, it's probably a lot more than you would like. On top of those normal everyday pains, I have Crohn's disease, making my digestive system a wild card some days. I could easily go to a doctor for every ache and pain I have, but I found a less expensive and intrusive option that I wish everyone would give a try.
Chiropractic care has had such a huge impact on my life and saved me a lot of money in potential medical bills. I still go see my regular physician when needed, but I always know whether I should try chiropractic first.
One of my favorite things about chiropractic care is that it all feels relaxing and isn't the least bit uncomfortable. The most basic treatment you can receive from a chiropractor is an adjustment. This involves a chiropractor's primary job: to correct the alignment of your spine. Almost everyone develops some level of scoliosis, and this can affect your posture and many other areas of your body.
Over a series of visits, a chiropractor can reverse this process and alleviate some pain at the same time. Most chiropractors also offer some form of massage therapy as a part of their treatment. Massage therapy is excellent for working out knots in tight muscles, on top of just feeling really great! After a good massage and adjustment, I feel like all is right in my body, and I can not stress to you just how amazing that feeling can be.
However, I originally started seeing a chiropractor as a way to help my Crohn's disease. Chiropractors can help many different areas of the body flow smoothly, from the digestive system to the sinuses. I turned to a chiropractic as a way to help with the pain my Crohn's was causing me. Along the way, I learned about my particular case of scoliosis and received treatment for both.
Today, I go see my chiropractor for everything from all kinds of body aches to congested sinuses. It is nice to have a safe and healthy way to deal with these problems that doesn't involve an expensive doctor's visit or taking more pills than I already take. I have always been intrigued by alternative medicine and chiropractic is one that I put my confidence in, and I recommend every chance I get.
There is no reason to not give chiropractic a shot since it's covered by most insurances. You can simply use it as an alternative to going straight to a physician, or you can make chiropractic care a part of your every day life and use it as a way to relax while treating long term issues.
