When Should You See a Chiropractor?

Many people consider seeing a chiropractor when they are experiencing back pain. However, that's not the only time you should see a chiropractor. At Beverly Hills Comprehensive Medical Group, we treat many issues. You may be surprised by some indications you should see a chiropractor.

Headaches or Neck Pain

Studies have shown that chiropractic treatment can improve headaches, including migraines. This is because headaches are often caused by problems in your neck. Chiropractic care can also be effective if you notice pain or stiffness in your neck. A chiropractor may take a multifaceted approach to your treatment, including joint manipulation, exercises or teaching more ergonomic positions, and nutritional counseling.

Muscle or Joint Pain

Chiropractors are skilled at manipulating and realigning joints of the body. This isn't limited to your spine. Muscle and joint pain is often caused by a misalignment, so visiting a chiropractor could relieve your pain. Chiropractors will often add some form of physical therapy or exercise to your treatment in order to strengthen your body and help keep it in alignment.

You Have Limited Range of Motion

If you find that your body just doesn't move like it used to, it may be time to visit a chiropractor. If your shoulder, spine, neck, or hip just doesn't have the range of motion it should, this is often a result of misalignment that a chiropractor can help realign.

Uneven Shoe Wear

This is an extremely simple way to check your body's alignment. If your shoes wear in an uneven pattern, this is likely due to misalignment in your spine. It's important to correct these kinds of problems before they cause other issues.

You Have Poor Posture

Poor posture puts you at risk for many physical issues, including slipped and herniated discs, back pain, and pain in your neck and shoulders. If you've had poor posture for a long period of time, you will likely need a spinal adjustment before you can comfortably correct your posture.
