How Chiropractic Can Impact Your Health

Whether you are new to chiropractic or have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for years, it’s always good to have a solid understanding of how chiropractic can benefit your overall health and wellness. Many people are still stuck with the assumption that chiropractic can help with back pain. While our chiropractors can certainly treat back pain, that’s not the only benefit of chiropractic! Here are some of the ways that chiropractic can impact your health.

Increased Neck and Back Health

Chiropractic care is a whole-body approach to healthcare, and is focused primarily on the optimal health and functioning of the central nervous system (CNS). One of the best side effects of this approach is that for many of our patients, overall neck and back health improves.

The hands-on approach used by Dr. Tina McKay and Dr. Rob Stevens removes joint restrictions and dysfunction from the spine. When these restrictions are removed, communication can take place without interruption between the CNS and the rest of the body. This also helps decrease pain and improve mobility. When your CNS is working at its best, your health in its entirety can improve along with it.

Improved Immune System

Many of our patients report that they experience an improved immune system along with increased neck and back health. This is also due to the improvement of the functioning of the CNS. When the spine is without joint dysfunction and restriction, it can work to fight off illness. You may find that with regular chiropractic care, not only are you sick less often, but when you do become ill, you recover faster.

Better Mobility Leads to More Activity

When your joints move freely without restriction and dysfunction, you can enjoy a more active lifestyle. Chiropractic has been found to improve flexibility and range of motion, which can help you feel better and inspire you to be more active. Health experts recommend an average of 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week, and improved mobility with the help of chiropractic care can help you get there.

When you make chiropractic care a part of your regular healthcare routine, you are taking steps to improve your overall health and wellness. Not only are you likely to become sick less often, but your body will function better and you may find yourself inspired to pick up some new activities!

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"

"I have been coming to Healthy Life Chiropractic for over a year now. The treatments I receive give me such a relief of stress. The personnel is a big part of my relief.
