Why Does Chiropractic Work?

Gentle chiropractic care

Our patients often want to know: why does chiropractic work? Our patients know that when they visit Brisbin Family Chiropractic, their pain will be relieved, but there still is an unknown factor. Today I will give you the brief rundown to answer those questions.

People tend to come into our clinic because they are hurting to some degree. Low back pain, neck pain, and headaches are obviously the most common complaints. But what if I were to tell you that the pain you feel is not the biggest concern for us as chiropractors?

Pain is just a symptom.

When the joints in your spine are not moving well, they irritate the nerves in your body. Typically the last thing to be felt—and sometimes the only thing—is pain. Before your pain even started, there was a disconnect with the messages going from your brain to the rest of your body, and vice-versa. Those mixed-up messages that cause pain can also affect the function of every organ and tissue in your body.

During your chiropractic care you may not only notice the pain subside, but you may also notice such things as improved digestion, improved sleep, improved breathing, and more.

As chiropractors, we look to the spine to restore normal function to the body and to allow the body to better regulate and heal. If you think you deserve a healthier, happier life, give your chiropractors at Brisbin Family Chiropractic a call.
