New Patient Special | Chiropractor Bloomington IN
A concise scientific explanation of how chiropractic works is that spinal adjustments directly to the musculoskeletal system (muscle and bone) can reduce pain, increase joint movement, reduce muscle spasms and inflammation, and improve function. This could explain why patients report improvement in overall function.
The main causes of joint dysfunction are mechanical, chemical, and emotional stressors. Mechanical causes include repetitive stress, such as sitting at a desk all day with poor posture. Other mechanical stress can be caused by direct trauma such as a car accident, a fall, or a break. Patients can benefit greatly from chiropractic care by addressing the mechanical causes of joint dysfunction. The second cause of joint dysfunction is due to chemical effects on the body. Chemical imbalances can be caused by a poor diet, smoking, drinking alcohol, etc. The third cause of joint dysfunction is due to emotional or psychological stress.
