Top 5 Signs You Need to See a Chiropractor

November 25, 2015 by Dr. Todd Goldman

Signs You Need to See a Chiropractor from Total ChiroIt is a common misconception that seeing a chiropractor is only necessary for the event of an injury to the spine. Although chiropractic care is extremely helpful for the pain experienced after an accident, regular care is beneficial to nearly any scenario. Here are the top five signs you might need to see a chiropractor:

Signs You May Need to See the Chiropractor

  • Persistent Headaches or Migraines
  • Are you experiencing headaches more frequently than usual? Are they interfering with your daily life? If so, it may be time to contact a chiropractor such as Dr. Todd Goldman in Medford for a consultation. According to the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), nine out of ten Americans suffer from headaches. Whether cluster headaches, migraines are brought on by stress, regular chiropractic care can work wonders without having to resort to unnecessary medication.

  • Restrictions in Range of Motion
  • This may seem like a no-brainer, but many people believe that stiffness or pain will simply go away. Although this may be true temporarily if the problem is not addressed it is likely to return. When you find yourself waking up sore after a full night’s rest, or find yourself in pain when turning your head or bending over, it is important to seek the advice of a chiropractor. Whether subconsciously or on purpose, when an individual experiences restrictions in their range of motion they tend to avoid repeating the physical actions that brought it on. This causes the muscles and ligaments to tighten and can decrease overall flexibility and strength.

  • Chronic Pain
  • Believe it or not, misalignment or subluxation of the spine can affect other organs within the body. A qualified chiropractor will be able to identify concerns within the spine that can signify other health issues. Many common ailments, such as sciatica can be significantly improved through chiropractic treatment.

  • Injury or Accident
  • Even with minor injuries, it is very important to undergo a chiropractic consult. One of the most dangerous life occurrences to ignore pain after is a motor vehicle accident. Although initially, you may feel perfectly fine or just a little sore, there is a potential for unseen spinal damage. Cases of whiplash can occur at collisions as slow as 10 miles per hour. The same advice pertains to sports injuries, falls, and traumatic life events. A chiropractic consult is quick, painless, and can prevent further health concerns in the long run.

  • Busy Lifestyles
  • Did you know that even sitting in a chair for an extended period of time could cause damage to your spine? Many people that work in an office experience common ailments such as pain in the joints, back, or neck. Seeking chiropractic treatment can help with this. On the other side of the spectrum, having a very active lifestyle can also have the same effect. For this reason, many professional athletes see a chiropractor on a regular basis in order to ensure optimal health.
