Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments

Over the decades hundreds of healthcare studies have been conducted. Time and again research shows that chiropractic adjustments are beneficial in multiple ways.

The following is a brief overview of the benefits of chiropractic that have been determined by medical and chiropractic health studies:

• Significantly lower costs of injury care and medical care.
• Decreased number of days missed at work due to injury or illness.
• Less dependence on medication.
• Improved overall health
• Improved quality of life.
• Less time spent at the Chiropractor’s office compared to the amount of time spent at a medical doctor’s office.
• Decreased feelings of pain and discomfort.

Researchers and chiropractic experts have also found other beneficial things that you can do in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments to improve your health:

• If you lose just one pound, you will take 10 pounds of stress off your lower back.
• Quit smoking. Smoking causes the discs between vertebrae to degenerate faster.
• Don’t sleep on your stomach, it contributes to misalignment of neck vertebrae.
• Keep your wallet out of your back pocket to help maintain equilibrium throughout your spine and back muscles.

An adjustment makes all the difference

Today, I was feeling incredibly uneasy and frustrated. I know I was driving Kim nuts. I couldn't even stand myself-I figured I needed to get out of the house.

I went to have coffee with my friend Dr. Juan Rodriguez. He was having some aches and suggested that we stop by his office and I would adjust him and he would return the favor.

WOW! As soon as I got my adjustment-I felt myself returning to normal, my mood changed, the anxiety left, and the heartburn that I had been experiencing for the past three days was GONE!

Now, I was pretty sure that I was subluxated (out of alignment), but had no idea of the effect it was having on my mood. Another good reason to visit your chiropractor even when you are not feeling any pain.

Mississippi

I am always honored when someone travels a long way to come see me. Last week, a couple drove all the way from Mississippi to come and get an adjustment. I assumed that they were visiting family or friends and someone recommended they see me before they return home, since that happens often.

This couple had HEARD about me from someone living here , but they got in their car and drove almost eight hours for ONE adjustment.

Then they got in their car and drove eight hours back.
