Chiropractic has a great scientific basis that is growing every day. So, you can take great comfort in knowing that there has been lots of research done about chiropractic care. We know from many research studies that chiropractic is safe compared to most healthcare choices and that people who see chiropractors really love the care they receive.
We also know from science that people who have spinal problems, such as back pain, neck pain, and headaches, improve well under chiropractic care.
Low back pain may be due to a breakdown in the way that your brain is controlling the muscles in your back. So, your back and brain aren’t talking to each other properly, which may mean that you aren’t able to control and stabilize your spine properly and protect yourself from injuring your back when you move or lift an object. This is where a chiropractor from West Sound Chiropractic in Silverdale, Washington can help. We will gently adjust any dysfunctional spinal segments in your back, or what we call chiropractic subluxations. We do this to restore healthy spinal movement, and to improve the communication between your brain and your body, which may have an impact on the way your brain is controlling the muscles in your back. For many people with back pain, this can result in a big difference to the way they feel and function and it can help them to get over their back pain and get back to enjoying life.
The research backs this up and tells us that for people with low back pain, chiropractic care is as effective, if not more effective, than other healthcare options. The same is true for other conditions such as neck pain and many types of headaches. There’s also lots of research being done that looks at how chiropractors can help people with all sorts of problems that may be caused by a breakdown in communication between your brain and your body. It turns out that spinal function is really important for your brain to know what is going on in and around you.
