Most people consider chiropractic care a way to treat back or neck pain after a car accident or other injury. But when added to your wellness routine, chiropractic care can improve your health and overall well-being. 

What’s more? Unlike with medications and supplements, you don’t have to worry about side effects or dangerous interactions. Chiropractic care offers a way to improve your health naturally.

At Life Balance Medical Center in Roscoe, Illinois, Alecia Arn, DC, and our team put your health first. As part of our comprehensive line of services, we offer chiropractic care to keep your spine healthy and improve your vitality. 

Here are our top five reasons you should add chiropractic care to your wellness routine. 

1. Better sleep, better health

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that at least one-third of Americans don’t get enough good-quality sleep. Nighttime troubles such as teeth grinding, insomnia, or sleep apnea can wreak havoc on your health. Lack of sleep is linked to daytime fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and memory troubles.

Adding chiropractic care to your wellness routine can help you sleep better and achieve better overall health. With regular chiropractic care, your musculoskeletal system improves.

This means your body can connect better with your brain while you sleep. Over time, you notice that as your sleep signals improve you sleep better and feel more rested throughout the day. The result? Better overall health. 

2. Improved mental health

Today, more Americans than ever are stressed, anxious, or depressed. In fact, millions of Americans experience stress and poor mental health every year. If you’re under added stress or struggle with anxiety or depression, it’s important to make an appointment with a mental health professional. 

And adding chiropractic care to your wellness routine can also help alleviate your symptoms. This is because chiropractic works to fix the physical problems that could be adding to your mood disturbances. 

Mental and physical stress are exacerbated when your spine is out of alignment and creating problems with your nervous system. By improving your spinal and nervous systems, regular chiropractic care helps balance your body chemically and can alleviate mood symptoms. 

3. Move more easily

Good mobility is an important ingredient to being an overall healthy person. Being mobile helps you stay active, maintain a healthy weight, and be in shape to fight disease. Regular chiropractic care helps ensure your spine and joints align properly. As your joints become more fluid, you’re naturally able to move more easily and you notice improved balance and flexibility.  

4. Higher energy levels

It’s easier than ever to live a sedentary lifestyle these days. But the more sedentary you are, the more normal chronic pain, tension, or discomfort in your spine, muscles, and joints becomes.

One of the problems associated with chronic pain is that your energy levels decrease, making you feel tired and run down. A customized chiropractic care plan at Life Balance Medical Center can alleviate pressure points, relieving pain and helping you have more energy. 

5. Boost your immune system 

Subluxations are dislocations in the spinal or joint system. These dislocations have a negative impact on your nervous system. And when your nervous system isn’t functioning optimally, your immune system gets mixed signals and can go haywire.

By adding chiropractic care to your wellness routine, Dr. Arn helps repair subluxations. And because regular chiropractic care helps you sleep better, stress less, and move more, your nervous system settles. A balanced nervous system helps your immune system to function optimally, giving you a much-needed boost toward good health.
