5 Signs You Should Give Chiropractic a Try

Are you in pain? Whether it’s in your neck, back, shoulder, leg, arm, or other location—there’s always the possibility you might benefit from chiropractic care. There’s a common misperception that chiropractic therapy only treats back problems, but that’s far from the truth!

Chiropractic adjustments have proven an effective treatment for the pain associated with many medical conditions. Trophy Club chiropractor Dr. Cody Doyle has successfully treated patients suffering from: back and neck conditions, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, peripheral neuropathy, bursitis, tendonitis, and even allergies!

The human spine is the steering wheel and central nerve pathway for the whole body. Any dysfunction in the musculoskeletal movement of the spine can have far-reaching consequences. If you are in pain and are experiencing any of the follow symptoms—it might be time to try a chiropractor!

1. Your Pain is Constant or Spreading

No one should feel they have to live with constant or ongoing pain. An injury that can’t seem to heal, despite following a doctor’s advice, may be a sign you need to seek out a different type of treatment. If your pain seems to be spreading, can also be a sign of improper spinal alignment. If your pain started only in your neck, for example, but now includes numbness or tingling in your wrists or extremities, there’s a good chance they are connected. Pain that doesn’t go away on its own should always be considered a serious situation, no matter what the history or age of the patient.

2. You are Getting Headaches

Migraines and “stress headaches” are often caused by problems in the back and neck. If you’ve noticed more headaches coinciding with the onset of your pain, they may be connected. Both your body and head pain may be treatable with proper spinal alignment.

3. Low Energy Levels/Poor Sleep

There are many ways that injury and dysfunction can deprive you of energy: poor adrenal function, insomnia, an overstressed nervous system. Many patients report feeling better rested and getting their energy back with proper realignment of the spine.

4. You’re Always Sick

Allergies, sinus congestion, and immune function can be improved with proper nervous system function and mechanical balance in the body. Every system in the body is affected by the spinal pathway and that includes the immune system! For example, spinal misalignments and subluxations (compressed nerve pathways) can cause neural dysfunctions that weaken your immune response.

5. Constant Use of Painkillers

If you are in so much pain that you are taking pain medication several times a day, this is not normal! If you feel that you can’t function and get through the day without taking the maximum recommended dosage of ibuprofen or naproxen, for example, you need try something new!
