Dr. D Treating PatientIn the medical field today, pain is often addressed with medication and surgery. Yet there is a growing shift towards more natural solutions, including chiropractic care.

This approach to health and wellbeing is a holistic way to rejuvenate and heal the body, particularly when it comes to spinal conditions like sciatica. How can you benefit from seeing a chiropractor?

Understanding the Central Nervous System

The central nervous system, which comprises the brain, spinal cord and a network of nerves, orchestrates communication throughout the body. This system sends electrical signals between the brain and various body parts to regulate functions like breathing, movement and speech.

Yet spinal misalignments, also called subluxations, can exert pressure on the nerves and disrupt these vital communications.

Impact of Chiropractic on the Nervous System

Research shows that chiropractic adjustments have a positive impact on the nervous system, as the spine also plays an important role in overall health. By addressing subluxations, chiropractors alleviate nerve interferences and help improve communication between the brain and rest of the body. Patients often report better mood and sleep too.

Holistic Musculoskeletal Wellness

While individuals with chronic back pain often find relief and improved function through chiropractic, care extends beyond spinal health to benefit the entire musculoskeletal system. Conditions affecting the muscles, joints and bones, including arthritis, osteoporosis and fibromyalgia respond to the maneuvers of chiropractic, designed to release tension and lower inflammation in the body.

More specifically, a study in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine revealed significant improvements in joint function and reduced inflammation for those with hip osteoarthritis.

Increasing Natural Immunity

Chiropractic treatment addresses physical discomfort and empowers the body to function more optimally, enhancing immunity in the process. Your lymphatic system is activated during a chiropractic adjustment and the circulation of lymphatic fluid, which helps control inflammation, boosts the overall effectiveness of your immune system.

Furthermore, improved blood circulation resulting from chiropractic treatment can also positively impact the heart, supporting overall cardiovascular health.

Role of Nutrition In Healing

Proper nutrition complements chiropractic care, playing an essential role in the body’s healing processes. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish and flaxseeds, have anti-inflammatory properties that support joint health. Nutrient-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, raw nuts, avocados, mushrooms and artichokes can also strengthen the benefits of chiropractic.

Additionally, fundamental nutrients such as magnesium and vitamin D contribute to muscle function, relaxation, bone health and immune function.

"The administrative staff and practitioners are all friendly, capable, efficient, and very responsive. In addition, Dr. Keith Wade is knowledgeable, passionate about his craft, patient and thorough in answering questions. As a direct result of all that, my low back, ankles an knees feel much better, I am in less pain, and I am less afraid that my back will keep hurting or "going out." I am very grateful."

"Dr DeFrancesco is the best. I can’t say enough good things about him. He is a genuine and caring person. It is his help that has allowed me to continue to go to work every day and provide for my family. The staff is always super accommodating and pleasant to deal with. I have never received an attitude. When Dr DeFrancesco is not available, I am fortunate that he leaves me in the talented hands of Dr Wade and Dr LeFavor."

"I started my chiropractic journey a few weeks before having my 3rd baby. They were amazing, patient and gentle during the pregnancy. They weren't pushy when I took my time, post pregnancy, to come back. They were amazing with my schedule and did everything to work with me. I felt so comfortable with them that I brought my new born baby and my 3 year old in to get adjusted!"

"I strained my lower back a month prior to an Ironman race. I was unable to sleep, walk or sit, never mind continue training as planned. The entire office staff is beyond kind, caring, professional and runs extremely smooth. I was explained every step and procedure, along with a patient education class that really helped me understand what was wrong with my back and steps to fix it. Dr Wade was able to get me sleeping, walking and able to compete in my triathlon. 5 stars for many reasons and would highly recommend."
