June was Men’s Health Awareness Month, Eastland Chiropractic came to Four Seasons II to tell our members how chiropractic care can help health! The turnout was great, so we asked Eastland to write us a blog telling us the best ways that chiropractic care can specifically help men’s health!
7 Ways Chiropractic Can Help Men’s Health
By David Howell, Community Outreach, Eastland Chiropractic and Wellness
You know that a chiropractor can help with back pain by adjusting your spine, but did you know a chiropractor can help men in a variety of other ways? It’s not just about fixing an ailment; it can make you stronger and healthier in many ways, and help you enjoy the lifestyle you work so hard for.
1. Relieve back pain – The most commonly thought of benefit of chiropractic is of course the relief of back pain. Through spinal adjustment, the chiropractor seeks to realign your vertebrae, thus improving the functionality of your spine and spinal column.
2. Minimize headaches – Chiropractic can also aid in minimizing a man’s headaches. Proper alignment helps contribute to better blood flow and less tension, resulting in fewer tension headaches.
3. Increase muscle strength – Spinal alignment also results in an increase of muscle strength in your back. With everything properly aligned, the muscles, ligaments and bones can work with the strength and support they were originally intended to have.
4. Improved posture – An additional benefit of chiropractic adjustment is improved posture. As your doctor works to realign your spine, and the muscles gain strength from proper use, your posture will reflect the effort.
5. Relieve joint pain – Your chiropractor can help make adjustments to more than just your spine. If you suffer from joint pain as a result of a previous injury, your chiropractor can make adjustments to provide you with greater comfort.
6. Maximize your range of motion – Chiropractic can help a man maximize his personal range of motion in two ways. First, as was already mentioned, chiropractic adjustment would improve range of motion by strengthening a man’s core muscles and aligning his foundational structure (spine). Second, chiropractic works to relieve any pain that would otherwise restrict motion.
7. Health advice – Chiropractic is about more than simply aligning the spine. Chiropractors take a holistic approach to medicine. Since each aspect of life has an impact on every other aspect, a chiropractor is available to provide support and advice regarding the most healthful choices a man can make.
