Chiropractic Care

Holding spine model Chiropractic care has helped millions of people discover the means to improve the function of their body, relieve pain, and unlock a healthier lifestyle—without the use of harmful medications. What chiropractic care focuses on specifically is the spine. The spine and the central nervous system serve a function in every part of your body, so when your spine is compressed or not functioning properly, health issues can appear anywhere! Regular adjustments at LifeGiving Chiropractic may help you address several conditions.

Reduce Chronic or Recurring Pain

Our lives are filled with activities that put a strain on our bodies, whether it be exercise, sports, a prior auto accident, a physical job, or just bad posture. Pain you may feel in your neck, back, and shoulders is an indicator of a much deeper issue in your spine.

Our bodies use pain as a way to alert us that something is wrong. Unfortunately, you may only notice the pain when the underlying problem has been happening for months or even years. Regular chiropractic care and adjustments can often locate and address these underlying issues before the pain becomes unbearable.

The American College of Physicians and the Journal of the American Medical Association believe chiropractic care and spinal manipulation should be the first line of defense when it comes to addressing lower back pain.

Improve the Overall Functioning of Your Mind

Everything we experience is processed through our nerve system. When our perception of the world is distorted by nerve interference, it compromises our ability to respond appropriately. Not only does this affect our physical health, it also impairs our mental and emotional health.

Chiropractic care employs a holistic approach to health care which encompasses every part of the body. If you are experiencing the debilitating symptoms of mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, then regular chiropractic care may be able to help.

With the use of diet, supplements and adjustments, our care has been shown over time to help with a host of mental health-related symptoms. Some of the most common symptoms associated with depression and anxiety are high blood pressure, lack of sleep, headaches and the release of harmful hormones such as cortisol.

Ease Pregnancy Pain or Discomfort

One of the most taxing things a woman’s body can go through is pregnancy. Throughout the process, there are a myriad of factors that may affect your sleep, spinal alignment, and pelvic alignment. Keeping these issues in check before they are allowed to grow into major discomforts is paramount to ensuring a smooth pregnancy and best possible delivery.

All chiropractors are trained to work with pregnant women, but ours specialize in pre- and postnatal care. We are certified in the Webster Technique to keep pressure off of the abdomen and target specific problem areas. We also use special tables that allow pregnant women to lie down comfortably and safely.

According to a chiropractic and medical collaborative study, 75% of pregnant patients who received chiropractic care during their pregnancies stated that they found relief from pain. This study also indicated that chiropractic helped decrease the incidence of “back labor” and resulted in 31% shorter labor times.

Help Kids Avoid Problems

Chiropractic care provides a number of health benefits for children as well as adults. Often, during our child’s early years, we are at the pediatrician’s office to ensure that they are growing as expected and not exhibiting any health issues. While that pediatrician is trained to work with children, their approach often hinges on the use of medications to respond to illness.

Chiropractors use a holistic approach that includes diet and supplements to address your child’s body as a whole, instead of using medications for individual symptoms. Regular chiropractic care in children has also been shown to help with sleep, growing pains, digestive issues, headaches and sports injuries.

Childhood can be a very traumatic time on our bodies, as they are growing at such an accelerated rate. As kids learn to walk and run, they will take plenty of tumbles, some which could shift the child’s musculoskeletal system—that sets the stage for subluxations to occur. Correcting these issues when the child is still young can be critical to their health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does chiropractic care do?

Chiropractic care can be beneficial for pain relief, healing after an injury, and useful for conditions like headaches, stress, inflammation, and other uses. This type of care typically involves the adjustment of a person’s spine to improve the alignment of the spinal joints and other parts of the body. Adjustments enhance the motion of the spine and how a body functions physically. Chiropractic care is often used in conjunction with other healthcare options like nutrition counseling, massage and more.

Why is chiropractic care important?

Your spine’s health is vital to your overall health, from the nervous system to the immune system and beyond. Benefits include pain relief, improved posture, better endurance, enhanced function, stress relief, and improvements in athletic performance, to name a few. In fact, studies have shown that in some cases, people can avoid surgery for certain conditions by receiving chiropractic adjustments first.

How often should I go to the chiropractor?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Your overall health, the reason you’re seeking chiropractic care and how you’re responding to the care plan can all influence how often you need to be seen. Often, a patient will need care more frequently at the beginning and, after they begin to heal, the frequency can be reduced. Once your condition is resolved, we may recommend monthly care to maintain your results.
