Top 5 Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Dr. Tim Esguerra, DC

1. Pain Reduction

The first benefit of chiropractic care may be the most impactful- reducing your pain. Before you are living your optimal life, you have to be free of pain. We know that health has no quick fixes and that the most important factor is to seek long-term solutions to pain and injury. Multiple research studies have shown that chiropractic is one of the safest and most effective treatments to reduce pain in your neck, low back, and more. Even if you are suffering from spinal stenosis, disc herniations, or foraminal encroachment- chiropractic may be able to help.


2. Reduce Headaches

This is an important benefit especially if you have struggled with chronic headaches. Research has discovered that chiropractic care can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches. Over 20 million people suffer from headaches every day. The most common types include; tension type and migraines. Tension headaches often include neck, muscle, and facial pain. Migraines are usually throbbing and can cause nausea and light sensitivity, some even include an aura.


3. Improved Quality of Life

Most people don’t go to the doctor when they have pain. They go to the doctor when the pain interferes with their quality of life. If you have a healthcare condition that is preventing you from enjoying your hobbies, hanging out with friends and family, and limiting your ability to perform well at work- then you are likely to start researching on Google and eventually call a doctor to get answers. We are focused on getting you back to your active lifestyle, and improvement in quality of life is a proven benefit of chiropractic care.


4. Reduced Medication Use

Researchers discovered that people who receive chiropractic care are 49% less likely to fill an opioid prescription. Even what many people consider to be “safe” medications like NSAIDs contribute to over 100,000 hospitalizations, and over 3,000 deaths each year. Drugs should rarely be viewed as first-line treatment for spinal or musculoskeletal pain. Our bodies are designed to move and are extremely resilient- so finding a doctor that emphasizes movement and recovery is a good idea to not only reduce medication use but get the best results possible.


5. Performance

Every major sports team has a chiropractor available to their athletes to help with injury mitigation and sports performance. No one can perform their best when in pain, so chiropractors are used to keeping their athletes feeling good, but with a focus and eye toward sport-specific performance. We are all athletes and should have access to the best treatments possible to keep us doing what we love.
