Why Chiropractic?
Understanding the Benefits of Chiropractic Care
If you haven’t seen a chiropractic doctor before, you may have questions about this form of holistic pain relief.
Why should I try it?
Does it really work? How?
Here’s a closer look at exactly what chiropractic care entails (hint: we do more than pain relief!).
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a form of healthcare that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of spinal misalignments, commonly known as subluxations. These misalignments can put pressure on the nerves throughout the spine and disrupt the flow of nerve impulses throughout the body, leading to pain, inflammation, and compromised functionality, including but not limited to:
Neck, shoulder and back pain
Hip and other joint pain
Headaches and migraines
Numbness or tingling
Arthritis
Osteoporosis
Chiropractic care is founded on a holistic approach to health care, considering how physical activity, nutritional habits, emotional health, environmental conditions, and genetic predispositions impact your overall health and wellness.
Fatigue
TMJ
Insomnia and sleep apnea
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Sciatica
Sports injuries
Hypertension
Digestive Issues
Allergies
Asthma
Diabetes
Cardiovascular diseases

Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to correct subluxations, including spinal adjustments, massage, and exercise therapy. Spinal adjustments are gentle, hands-on manipulations that are used to restore proper alignment of the spine. Massage and other myofascial therapies can help to relax muscles and reduce pain, while exercise therapy can help to improve range of motion and strength.

The benefits of chiropractic care extend far beyond your physical health and wellness! Treatments can:
Increase range of motion
Improve posture
Improve digestion
Reduce inflammation
Strengthen the immune system
Alleviate stress
Promote relaxation
Additionally, chiropractic is popular because it is:
Non-invasive and drug-free
Safe and effective
Widely available
These many advantages make chiropractic a safe alternative and/or co-treatment to conventional medication, massages, stretching, and physical therapy.
When you feel and move better, you enjoy a fuller life.

Start by finding a qualified chiropractor you are comfortable with and who is experienced in treating your specific health concern—and don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions. While chiropractic care is highly successful in treating a broad range of health issues, many require more extensive treatment, and you should always contact your primary care provider for any serious health concerns.
Chiropractic care is often a good option for those seeking a natural and effective way to improve their health. If that sounds like you, find out if Wynne Chiropractic & Wellness is a fit!
