11. Fibromyalgia - Symptoms such as chronic pain in the muscles & soft tissues surrounding joints, fatigue, and unexplained tenderness at specific sites in your body may be diagnosed by your medical physician as Fibromyalgia. Chiropractic care is known for lessening or resolving such symptoms, as specific adjustments ensure that your nervous system is fully functioning for the best chance at overall health. The goal is to get to the root of the problem, especially if you only relief is potentially damaging medication that masks your symptoms. Proper diet, rest, and light exercise daily, along with chiropractic, may bring you relief!
12. Headaches - The majority of headaches are caused from misalignments in the cervical vertebrae in you neck or base of your neck. Sometimes stress, sleep deprivation, injury, alcohol or sitting in front of a computer for hours may trigger a headache for you. These are all examples of how you may get subluxations. Makes sense then, that a specific adjustment to the exact misaligned bone relieves the headache and prevents future pain. Fix the headache at the root of the problem, instead of relieving the pain with medication that may lead to other side effects or organ damage.
13. Hypertension - During the course of chiropractic treatment, according to the Journal of Manipulative Physiological Therapy in 1993, the patient’s need for hypertensive medication was reduced. The patient’s medical physician gradually withdrew the medication over 2 months. After 7 visits, uses of all hypertensive medications ceased. After 18 months, the patient’s blood pressure remained within normal limits.
14. Infant Care - Birth is one of the most traumatic experiences our spine will have. Studies have shown that colic, unusual crying, poor appetite, ear infections or erratic sleeping habits can be signs of spinal misalignment. Newborn adjustments are gentle, about the same pressure used to test tomato ripeness and infants may respond quickly to care. Why not give your child the best chance to start life truly healthy. The only side effect of a specific adjustment is better health
15. Immunity - Immunity is the #1 combatant against illness. A 3-year study resulted in patients under chiropractic care for 5 years having a 200% greater immunity than people who had not received chiropractic care, and 400% greater immune competence than people with cancer and other serious diseases. The leading MD in the research States, “I have never seen a group other than this chiropractic group to experience a 200% increase over the normal patients. This is why it is so dramatically important. We have never seen such a positive improvement in a [research] group.”
16. Joint / Extremity Pain - The nerves that exit your spinal column travel down both arms and legs providing messages for proper motion and function. A misalignment of the spine, therefore, can stop that message causing pain, numbness, tingling, and loss of motion and function. Dr. Lavaley relieves that with the same specific adjustment as he would with your back pain.
17. Neck Pain - Most of the pain-sensing nerves of the neck are in the joints on the back side of your cervical vertebrae. When in proper position, you should be able to rotate and bend your neck freely. When a vertebra is misaligned, it causes immobility, muscle tightness and pain, not to mention countless symptoms, some of which are in this list.
18. “Pinched” Nerve - The Structure of each vertebra allows room for nerves to branch off the spinal cord, therefore exiting safely and carrying its vital message to the specific organ or tissue. Each slight spinal misalignment causes narrowing of that space, muscle swelling or disc pressure which all lead to nerve pressure, irritation or stretching. Research shows that very slight pressure alters the function of a nerve. You have resulting pain or other far-reaching symptoms. Adjustment of the misaligned vertebra relieves that irritation and with time you heal and the symptoms subside.
19. PMS / Menopause - More than 50% of women have symptoms related to their menstruation or menopause. While symptoms are common, they may not be normal & specific chiropractic care offers relief. Ensuring proper alignment, the nerves controlling the hormones & reproductive organs in your body may be more functional, which can alleviate symptoms.
20. Pregnancy / Infertility - A woman’s body changes dramatically with pregnancy, adjustments help with aches & pains as her body adapts to the growing child. Chiropractic care also significantly reduces the average labor time for birthing mothers, according to proceedings of the World Chiropractic Congress in 1991. Research demonstrated a 24% shorter labor for first time mothers & 39% shorter for second time mothers. Before invasive treatment begins for infertility, have your & your partners spine checked for subluxations interfering with the nerves associated with reproduction.
