Regular chiropractic appointments can promote good health in various ways. While back pain, neck pain and discomfort is many people’s reasoning for scheduling an appointment, there are quite a few other conditions a chiropractor can help you with. Here are five lesser known reasons to visit a chiropractor.  

1. HEADACHES

Headaches, tension headaches, and migraines can be terrible to deal with. Many migraine and headache sufferers experience such intense pain, they find it hard to complete daily tasks or even to get out of bed. For some, this means having to rely on using pain medication on a regular basis. 

Chiropractic care can do wonders for treating headaches because this treatment involves identifying the root cause of your headaches and making the needed adjustments. Many headache sufferers will experience a level of headache relief from their first session and many enjoy long term results.

2. PREGNANCY PAIN

Pregnancy has a huge impact on the body. This condition is associated with huge amounts of emotional change as well as high levels of stress and anxiety. The female body undergoes an incredible amount of changes during pregnancy. 

Pregnancy pains are very common in women and women can experience a huge variety of different pains such as spinal and back pain, pelvic pain, headaches, muscle spasms and tension and more. 

Chiropractic care is may help you during pregnancy. The practice is highly effective in reducing pain and discomfort, reducing any stress the weight gain may have on your spine, improving spinal and pelvic functioning and your chiropractor can advise you on the best pregnancy-safe exercises you can enjoy.

3. STRESS

We all suffer under high levels of stress at one point or another. Long term stress can have terrible effects on your body. Stress breaks down your immune system, affects your metabolism, results in premature aging and can even cause severe hair loss. 

Chiropractors work with the spine and nervous system, which is the base through which stress radiates throughout the body.  Regular chiropractic care can negate the effects of stress and can help prevent long term damage to your body.

4. WHIPLASH

Whiplash often occurs in vehicle accidents. It is a condition that occurs when the head is suddenly jolted forward and backward. This sudden movement causes damage to various structures and tissues in the neck and is painful. 

Chiropractic care can help you experience pain relief because the treatment is focused on reducing muscle tension in your neck and improving spinal function.
