Top 5 Reasons to Visit a Chiropractor Today
At PMR, our chiropractors see patients for all kinds of reasons, and their treatments apply to a wide range of conditions, illnesses, and concerns. While it’s true that problems related to the back, neck, and spine are the most common reason for visiting the chiropractor, they’re certainly not the only ones.
In fact, our holistic treatments involve several modalities beyond chiropractic manipulation. To better understand the many applications of chiropractic medicine, let’s take a close look at the top five reasons that patients visit us at PMR.
- Back Pain
Back pain is what leads most first-time patients to the chiropractor’s office. It seems simple enough—chiropractic care is centered on the central nervous system and spinal manipulation, so back pain seems like the most natural reason to pay the chiropractor a visit. And it’s true: chiropractic care is very often the most effective treatment choice for a wide variety of back ailments.
- Neck Pain
Almost as often as back pain, neck pain sends millions of Americans to their chiropractor’s offices. And like the back, the neck area is a natural focus for doctors of chiropractic because of its location along the spine. In fact, chiropractic spinal manipulation is a great treatment option for many neck injuries, including serious concerns such as whiplash and related problems.
- Headaches
Headaches may seem like a somewhat less intuitive symptom for chiropractic treatment, but we see countless patients every year who are suffering from debilitating migraines and tension headaches. It’s important to understand that from the chiropractor’s point of view, every part of the body is connected along the central nervous system, which incorporates the brain and spinal cord. For that reason, spinal manipulation and chiropractic techniques may provide lasting relief to headache sufferers where other treatment options fail.
- To Ward Off Disease
Beyond treating symptoms, illnesses, and conditions, chiropractic care is an essential component of building and maintaining a functioning immune system. From manipulation to massage therapy to nutrition, we’re able to use our comprehensive, holistic approach to treatment to improve immune response and boost your body’s natural ability to keep illness and disease at bay.
- For Overall Health
If you only learn one thing from this particular post, perhaps it should be that chiropractic is multifaceted. It’s not just about backs and spines; it’s not just about injuries and joints; in fact, it’s not just spinal manipulation. At PMR, we practice a wide range of treatments, all of which are geared toward improving overall health. From sciatica to weight loss, from recovery to simply feeling better every single day, we’re help to help get you on the right track.
