How Chiropractic Helps Those With Chronic Illnesses

When you hear “chronic illness,” you may not think it’s something that affects you. Yet chronic illness is much more common than you may think. Chronic illnesses affect an estimated 40% of Americans, costing billions of dollars every year. No two people have the same experience or find relief from the same treatment. Motus Integrative Health offers a wide range of services to relieve your pain. If you have a chronic illness, here’s why you should consider chiropractic. 

Chiropractic Relieves Stress

Stress is very common, with nearly 20% of American adults reporting an anxiety disorder. Stress wreaks havoc on the body, throwing off the digestive process, triggering migraines and making it difficult to sleep. On top of that, if you have a chronic illness, life can be absolutely challenging with some activities impossible. Stress is a known trigger for chronic illness flareups, so it’s essential that you address your anxiety before it gets out of hand. 

With a combination of self-care methods as well as professional help, chiropractic offers a host of psychological benefits. Many of our patients consider chiropractic to be a relaxing procedure. Plus, there’s science behind the procedure, since chiropractic restores your body’s nerve communications, letting your body communicate efficiently with the rest of your body. This can, over time, contribute to a healthier mind as well as body.

Chiropractic Treats Pain Across the Body

As we stated earlier, chronic illnesses do not affect everyone the same. Some individuals may have mild pain paired with other uncomfortable symptoms, while others may feel stabbing, burning pain. No matter where you fall on the line, chiropractic is a great supplement to your pain relief regimen, and in some cases, a suitable treatment on its own. Chiropractic is applicable across the body, meaning regardless of where your pain manifests, chiropractic is an option. It’s effective on the knees, shoulders, neck and wrists. There are many different chiropractic adjustments we use depending on the location of your pain. 

Chiropractic Treatment is Individualized

Individualized care is important to us. We understand that no two individuals want to receive the same treatments, necessarily. You may have a preference for holistic healing, rather than taking medication if it can be avoided. As such, our team dedicates itself to customizing your pain management plan. We listen closely to your concerns and choose treatments based on your symptoms, the chronic illness that is causing your pain, as well as any concerns you have. Chiropractic is one of our most popular treatments since it is widely applicable, safe and effective.
