Women's Health with Chiropractic

How today's women can benefit greatly from a chiropractic approach to their health.

Today’s women are an active, busy, health conscious group whose needs vary from those of their predecessors.  Yes, women may still suffer from the pains of womanhood, but their active lifestyle presents a new twist on women’s health.  Which means today’s women can benefit greatly from a chiropractic approach to their health.

Chiropractic focuses mainly on the alignment of the spine.  A proper aligned spine allows the nervous system to control the body without interference.  A misaligned vertebra or Subluxation is a minor misalignment of the bones of the spine which can sometimes pinch nerves causing pain.  Subluxation more commonly interferes with nerve transmissions from the brain to the body and back to the brain again. When there is interference between your brain and body, your performance suffers.  Chiropractors detect and correct vertebral subluxations. By doing this we are removing interference from your nerve system helping to insure that your brain is able to communicate with all parts of the body resulting in improved function and performance on every level.   

This can benefit women in many ways.  Proper alignment of the spine leads to proper functioning of the nervous system, cutting down on the frequency and intensity of migraine, tension and other types of headaches.  Proper alignment can also help ease the discomforts associated with more womanly issues such as menstruation, pregnancy, and birth.  If a woman’s body is properly aligned it can help everything else function more efficiently.

There are several other benefits for women undergoing chiropractic care.  Chiropractic can provide guidance for women regarding nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle.  Chiropractic can also provide strengthening and protections for women who are overweight, under extreme stress, or just desiring a greater degree of efficient, healthy living.

Chiropractic can also provide special care for women in their later years.  Women are more prone then men to develop Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s.  Chiropractic can help protect women from these debilitating diseases by strengthening the joints and bones, and keeping everything functioning together in the best way possible.

Today’s women can greatly benefit from regular chiropractic care no matter their age.  Young women can benefit from the strengthening and alignment while their bodies are still developing and growing.  Women during their childbearing years can benefit by relief from the pains of normal womanly life.  And women in their golden years can benefit from the continued care, strength, and alignment to help ward off some of life’s more crippling diseases.
