Notice any of these Symptoms? See a Chiropractor

You might have never considered visiting a chiropractor when you experience pain or health problems – however it could be the ideal treatment your body needs. People often think of a chiropractic clinic only after something goes wrong, for example if you’re in a car accident. However chiropractic medicine is a great way to prevent injury in the first place.

It’s important for us to listen to our bodies, especially when we experience painful symptoms. For many ailments, such as back pain or frequent headaches, our GP is the first point of call. You’ll be given some painkillers and asked to come back if things don’t improve. In reality, on the NHS you could be in pain for months before it is properly investigated and you find the root cause of the problem. Instead, a chiropractor could perform manual therapy to relieve the pain straight away.

If you notice any of these common symptoms:

Muscle or Joint Pain

If you experience chronic pain in your muscles and joints, anywhere in the body, a chiropractor can help. People often presume they only deal with back pain, however chiropractic can also treat neck pain, shoulder girdle dysfunction, hip, ankle, elbow and knee problems.

Frequent Headaches or Migraines

There are many reasons why people experience migraines, and it can be difficult to find the root cause. If your doctor hasn’t been able to help, chiropractic therapy could be the answer. Headaches can be caused by misalignment in the spine, and an adjustment could reduce their frequency and intensity.

Shooting Pain in Legs 

A sharp shooting pain or tinging in one or both legs or buttocks can be a sign that something is wrong in the back. It is often sciatica, which is caused by irritated nerves in the lower back and can be extremely painful if left untreated. If traditional treatment hasn’t worked, you should see a chiropractor who can relieve the pressure on the affected nerves.

Decreased Range of Motion

If you find that you’re not able to move as well as you once did, a chiropractor could be able to improve the range of motion in your joints. If your arms and shoulders aren’t as flexible as you’d like or you can’t twist your neck and back, this is a sign to book chiropractic treatment.
