Improved Joint Movement and Coordination
Chiropractic adjustments focus on the areas of the spine and extremities that are not moving as they should or that are misaligned. When a joint does not move properly, it can cause pain and irritation to the surrounding area. Chiropractic adjustments are used to mobilize the joint, allowing it to move throughout its natural range of motion and to remove the irritation and pain in the surrounding area.
Improved Posture
Our comprehensive treatment approach integrates chiropractic care and physical therapy to enhance movement and strength. This synergy results in improved posture. Peoria chiropractors at Senara employ specialized techniques to reinstate the spine's natural curves, facilitating the appropriate displacement of gravitational pressure.
Improved Nerve Communication
Spinal misalignments can lead to irritation of surrounding tissues, including nerves. Nerves play a vital role in transmitting information between the body and the brain. When irritated, these signals may be altered, compromising the proper function of organs, muscles, and tissues. Chiropractic adjustments remove nerve irritation, restoring optimal nerve communication.
Improved Physical Function and Performance
As stated above, the proper function of organs, muscles, and tissues is affected by nerve irritation. When nerves are irritated or pinched, symptoms can manifest as weakness, fatigue, loss of endurance, and even shortness of breath. Nerves control muscle contractions, blood flow, hormone release, glycogen release, and pretty much every process in the body. Chiropractic adjustments play a crucial role in removing irritation, allowing organs and tissues to function optimally.
Relief From Stress and Tension
Pain and discomfort can cause undue physical stress and tension. The body adapts to pain by tightening muscles and releasing hormones to aid the healing process. If the underlying problem isn't addressed, muscles fatigue or spasm, and prolonged hormone release becomes detrimental. Chiropractic care addresses the root problem, providing relief from stress and tension.
Improved Mood and Better Sleep
Chiropractic care can actually change your mood! The release of hormones plays a role in our mood and ability to sleep. Nerves control the organs responsible for hormone release, and when irritated or pinched, hormone levels may fluctuate, affecting mood and sleep patterns. Peoria chiropractors also consider external factors like diet and lifestyle that may contribute to mood fluctuations.
Fewer Colds and Flu
Chiropractic adjustments boost the immune system, aiding in the fight against bacteria and viruses. Improved lymphatic drainage, a significant component of the immune system, is another benefit of chiropractic care. Research indicates that chiropractic care can enhance the immune system by up to 200 percent.
Spend Less Money
Chiropractic care is a cost-effective alternative to conventional medical approaches like drugs or surgery. The Magna Study commissioned by the Canadian government in 1993 reveals that chiropractic care is a safe and cost-effective approach for lower back pain. Chiropractic patients also tend to spend less on medical services and medications.
