It is amazing that we can identify so many possible effects on the body that the misalignment of just one spinal vertebrae or disc can cause. Here are just a few of the possible effects that can be caused by misalignment:
Neck area - headaches, nervousness, insomnia, head colds, high blood pressure, sinus trouble, allergies, acne, laryngitis, hoarseness, bursitis.
Mid-back - asthma, shortness of breath, functional heart conditions, pneumonia, influenza, gall bladder conditions, poor circulation, indigestion, heartburn, ulcers, low resistance to colds, chronic tiredness, gas pains, allergies.
Lower back - constipation, diarrhea, cramps, varicose veins, bladder troubles, irregular periods, bed wetting, change of life symptoms, knee pains, sciatica, backaches, poor circulation in the legs, swollen ankles
Pelvis - low back pain, hemorrhoids, pain at end of spine on sitting.
Wow! It seems impossible that someone merely putting your bones back where they belong could take care of so many ills, aches, pains, etc. But, they say the body is designed to heal itself. Sometimes it just needs a little help or a jump start.
You are never too young or too old to get a chiropractic adjustment. It helps the body heal itself. It alleviates pain and other systems. And, it seems to make you taller too! Well, okay maybe that is just because you stand up straighter.
Add a therapeutic massage to your adjustment and you can almost leap tall buildings in a single bound!
Next time you have some pain in your back or get a headache, or are just feeling run down, consider a visit to your friendly neighborhood chiropractor. It might surprise you how much better you will feel with a little snap, crackle and pop in your life.
