How do you know when it’s time to go see a chiropractor? There are certain signs to watch out for. In order to get the most effective and sustainable results from your adjustment, it’s important to act upon these signs sooner than later. Don’t wait until the symptoms become too much to handle, and begin to have a negative effect on your everyday life, both socially and professionally. The sooner you make that appointment with your chiropractor, the sooner you will find relief and feel (and function) so much better. 

One of the most obvious symptoms is pain in the body, and that refers to anywhere: neck, back, feet, head, hands etc. This is definitely one of the most common reasons for why we see many of the patients here at Dr. Gena Chiropractic, your favorite family chiropractor in Plantation. Feelings of pain and discomfort, anywhere in the body, is why most people think about going to the chiropractor in the first place. 

Many of our ongoing chiropractic patients initially came to see us because they were experiencing frequent headaches, or suffering from chronic lower back pain and neck pain and sciatica, but we also see other conditions that cause aches and pains all over the body like carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, plantar fasciitis, TMJ, pinched nerves, osteoarthritis, and so forth. Although that first chiropractic adjustment can certainly help alleviate the pain, it may take a series of sessions to correct or fix the underlying problem. 

A lot of patients also come to see us to help with sleep issues, or for a boost of energy if they are feeling sluggish or fatigued too often. According to Sleep.org, over 30% of people suffer from insomnia, and that can also be a sign of other health issues going on. Chiropractic adjustments are known to help people sleep more comfortably at night because it can address any of the other symptoms you may be experiencing that is causing these restless, sleepless nights. As for energy, if you are sleeping better, the obvious outcome is that your energy levels will also improve. When the nervous system is functioning and communicating with the body at its best, energy levels are bound to increase. 

A third, and not-so-obvious reason for going to a chiropractor is digestive issues, such as constipation, gassiness and bloating, and acid reflux (as well as colic in babies). These might not seem like things that would warrant an adjustment, but a visit to the chiropractor can actually help soothe the digestive system. The digestive system and the nervous system are connected, which means having a healthy, well aligned spine can mean healthier intestines and stomach. 

Specific areas of the spine are the “backbone” to digestion. The thoracic and lumbar areas regulate the way food is broken down in the body, as the nerves from these areas innervate the small intestine, large intestine/colon and stomach. If you suffer from any kind of misalignment in the spine (subluxations), it can result in malabsorption of various vitamins and minerals from food, which are key to good digestive system health. The next time you are feeling constipated or bloated, try getting an adjustment and you may find immediate relief.

These are just three of the top reasons to see a chiropractor, but there are countless others. Basically, there is no wrong reason to come see us at Dr. Gena Chiropractic for a nervous system assessment! Remember, your health is in your hands; our hands are here to help.
