HOW CHIROPRACTIC CARE CAN HELP YOU GET IN SHAPE
If you’re trying to lose weight for the summer, this post is for you.
Chances are you might not know about the ways that seeing a Chiropractor can expedite the process of losing weight. Generally speaking, Chiropractors are trained to diagnose and treat various conditions arising from issues with the spine and its alignment.
Chiropractors don’t just specialize in treating back pain. They specialize in overall health and wellness.
Which absolutely includes weight loss and maintaining a healthy diet.
As people gain weight, they might start to notice strain on their spine and back for the first time. Additionally, if they have a history spinal problems, weight gain will often make those problems worse.
You may be wondering how chiropractic adjustments have anything to do with weight loss.
While it might seem like the two have little to do with each other, misalignments of the spine are often direct contributors to the cause of your weight gain.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC CARE CAN HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT
Think of the nerves throughout your spinal column as information highways. They connect the brain to the rest of the human body.
When your spine is misaligned, communication of spinal nerves is hindered. This affects the signals that control your hunger and eating cues.
In addition to hunger cues, individuals who suffer from spinal misalignment often experience chronic pain or decreased range of motion.
The result?
It becomes more and more difficult to maintain a physically active lifestyle.
Chiropractic adjustments can effectively relieve, if not eliminate, these problems and provide a much easier path for weight loss and overall health.
CHIROPRACTORS CAN HELP YOU MAINTAIN A NUTRITIONAL DIET & HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
A chiropractor can make personalized recommendations for your amount of exercise and diet based on your individual needs.
Your comfort levels, healing time, and overall health can be boosted from a better diet and lifestyle. Weight loss is a typical result of this.
ACUPUNCTURE CAN ALSO HELP YOU LOSE MORE WEIGHT.
Acupuncture is an ancient healing art that has proven its effectiveness through the ages. Of the many benefits to the practice, studies have found that weight loss is among them.
Through the insertion of extremely thin, stainless steel needles into the precise acupoints on the body, practitioners can impact weight-influencing hormones such as ghrelin and leptin, as well as energy flow to and from the brain.
Where exactly these needles get places is based on the pattern of imbalance determined by the practitioner.
The result?
The body’s thirst and hunger signals, as well as metabolism and fat regulation, can all be positively affected.
