This is referred to as soft tissue damage, and can cause stiffness and soreness. This causes the muscles and ligaments to overextend, leading to strains and/or tears. When a car is struck from behind or collides with another object, it causes the neck to snap back and forth violently. Whiplash is a common injury for people involved in car collisions. This will reduce and hopefully eliminate your pain and discomfort and allow you to live a normal lifestyle. By properly aligning the spine, pressure can be relieved on nerves and on the discs themselves. In many cases, you can experience relief from these conditions through chiropractic. Surgery is risky, expensive, and requires recovery time. If you suffer from one of these injuries you should see a chiropractor. These conditions can put pressure on the nerves around the spine and cause pain. As we get older, the discs can begin to weaken and dehydrate. Trauma or direct injury to the area is not the only cause, however. Trauma to the spine can cause the discs to herniated, bulge, become displaced (slipped disc), or even rupture. The gelatinous middle allows the disc to compress and expand based on impact and movement. These discs serve many purposes, including allowing movement of the spine, creating space between the vertebrae, and acting as shock absorbers. The outside of a disc is made from cartilage, and in the center is a jelly like solution. Intervertebral discs are positioned between the vertebrae in the spine. If you suffer from allergies, chiropractic can help you find relief. When your immune system recognizes allergens, it will not overreact to them, or at least not react as severely to them. This allows the immune system to work at a higher level, making it easier to fight off infections while recognizing allergens. Chiropractors work with the nervous system by aligning the spine to relieve any stress on nerves. When your nervous system is under stress and not functioning properly, your immune system cannot work at an optimal level. Studies have shown that the nervous system has an effect on the functionality of your immune system. When your spine is misaligned it can impinge on the nervous system in your body. These symptoms are caused by the histamines your immune system creates in an attempt to protect your body against the allergen.


Chiropractic allows your body to be better equipped to fight against allergies.Īllergies are a reaction by your immune system to an allergen (substances that normally have no effect on people) resulting in sneezing, coughing, congestion, hives, rashes, and in severe cases, seizure and anaphylactic shock. Chiropractic can help reduce the severity and the frequency of your allergies.Ĭhiropractic does not work like an anti-histamine as a direct, short term relief from allergies.
