You know that chiropractic care can provide lasting pain relief for various disorders affecting the neck, back, spine and joints. Yet chiropractic care has a number of other health benefits, allowing practitioners to enhance a patient’s total wellness. It’s something that we emphasize to all of our Temecula, CA patients at Horst Chiropractic.

Dr. Nathen Horst is able to treat a number of different health conditions thanks to regular adjustments. With this in mind, let’s take a look at some of the health issues you may not have realized chiropractic care can treat.

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

While eating healthy and staying active are essential for managing your blood pressure, chiropractic care has been shown to help address hypertension. The combination fo stress relief and pain relief may go hand in hand toward this benefit.

Migraine Headaches

Studies have found that relieving pressure in the body, particularly along the cervical spine, can potentially reduce the severity and occurrence of migraine headaches. It’s one of many alternative approaches to migraine treatment that people with chronic migraines can benefit from.

Depression and Anxiety

Mental health problems may be linked to or exacerbated by back and neck pain. Undergoing regular chiropractic adjustments has proven beneficial to people who suffer from depression and anxiety. It’s why many patients undergo chiropractic care for mental clarity and wellness.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The wrists are a long way from the spine, and yet the entire body is connected as a single system. Regular chiropractic adjustment has shown benefits in people dealing with body pain, including carpal tunnel syndrome.

Jaw Pain and TMJ Disorders

On the note of body pain, chiropractic adjustment can also benefit people who suffer from the clicking, popping, locking, and pain of TMJ disorders. Reducing stress through chiropractic care can help treat teeth grinding and clenching, which is a contouring factor in many TMJ disorder cases.

Sleep Disorders

Persistent pain makes a good night’s sleep difficult. Poor spinal alignment can also affect the body’s production of melatonin. By undergoing chiropractic care, people can reduce pain through the night and promote proper function of various systems of the body in the process.

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

Surprisingly, chiropractic care can help with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Treating subluxations and improving spinal alignment can improve signals throughout the body. This helps with the production of serotonin and other hormones that can reduce the severity of PMS symptoms.

Chronic Sinusitis

Problems with sinuses and nasal passages can lead to poor drainage and congestion. This may be due to inflammation of the sinuses. Undergoing chiropractic adjustments has helped numerous people who suffer from this sinus condition.

Bed Wetting

Bed wetting can be embarrassing and an annoyance to deal with. Whether it occurs in children, adults, or the elderly, chiropractic care has shown some ability to treat the condition.
