Pain is an inevitable part of life, but that does not mean it should be ignored. Pains are warning signals that something is not functioning well in your body. As much as you try to ignore them or numb them with medication, unless you address the source of the pain it will not go away.
Every part of your body is connected to the nervous system, which stems from the spinal nerves. These nerves are the body’s communication system from the central hub of the brain to everywhere else. If your brain was Telstra and your organs, limbs and digits were laptops, tablets and mobile phones, then your spine and spinal nerves would obviously be the WiFi. When the WiFi doesn’t work so well, we blame Telstra. Sometimes it’s their fault of course, but more often than not, it’s the connection that’s damaged.
A damaged spinal nerve can cause problems wherever that nerve connects to in your body; this may result in pain throughout your limbs, or even cause damage to internal organs such as the heart, lungs, liver – even the adrenal glands. If you are experiencing pain in any part of your body, it may have originated in the spine.
- The Head.
According to Dr Matthew Hoffmann from Chiropractic Plus, just about 90 percent of headaches can be caused by pressure in the spinal nerves. Headaches are a pain everyone can relate to, due to factors like stress, dehydration, hangovers and damaged nerves. Many people will turn straight to medicated pain relief, which doesn’t actually fix the cause of the problem.
- The Joints.
When the spine becomes misaligned it doesn’t only create tension in your back, it wreaks havoc throughout your entire body. Misalignment of the vertebrae can lead to pain in your joints including the knees, shoulders and elbows. Realigning your spine through chiropractic care can significantly reduce pain and inflammation in these joints.
The Digestive Tract.
Surprised? Yes, chiropractic care can help you with your digestive problems. Since the spine and the digestive tract are all connected through the WiFi (spinal nerves), when our spine is healthy so is our digestive tract. Slow digestion is a clear symptom of an unhealthy spine.
- The Neck.
Tension in the neck is a common occurrence, whether you lead an extremely active lifestyle or not. If you are experiencing stiffness and tightness within your neck area then your spine probably needs a little alignment.
So those are just some of the areas of your body that chiropractic care can help with. Call Chiropractic Plus today.
