10 Conditions That A Chiropractor Can Help Fix

If you're like me, you go to the chiropractor for a tune-up every now and then. You know that getting your spine aligned can help with everything from headaches to fatigue

But did you know that chiropractic care can also help with conditions like asthma, carpal tunnel, and even infertility? Here are 10 health conditions that a chiropractor can help fix.

1. Asthma

Studies have shown that chiropractic care can be an effective treatment for asthma. One study found that children who received chiropractic adjustments had less need for inhalers and other medications.

2. Carpal tunnel

Carpal tunnel is a condition that leads to numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and wrist. It's often caused by repetitive motions, such as typing.

Chiropractic care can help relieve the symptoms of carpal tunnel by reducing the pressure on the median nerve. One study found that patients who received chiropractic adjustments had significant improvements in their symptoms.

3. Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes pain, fatigue, and sleep problems. It can be difficult to treat, but chiropractic care may help.

One study found that patients who received chiropractic adjustments had less pain and improved quality of life. Another study found that patients who received chiropractic care plus exercise had less pain and better sleep than those who didn't receive chiropractic care.

4. Headaches

Chiropractic care is a common treatment for headaches, including migraines. One study found that patients who received chiropractic adjustments had fewer headaches and less need for medication.

"Headaches aren't a condition that most would think to see a chiropractor about..." Adds Dr. John Sheu, a certified chiropractor at Cedar Chiropractic & Physiotherapy. "But years of research have shown that adjustments to the spine can have a profound and often immediate effect on headaches, even migraines."

5. Infertility

Chiropractic care has been shown to be an effective treatment for infertility. One study found that patients who received chiropractic adjustments had increased rates of conception.

6. Menstrual pain

Menstrual pain is a common problem, but it can be treated with chiropractic care. One study found that women who received chiropractic adjustments had less pain during their periods.

7. Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a common condition that causes pain and stiffness in the joints. Chiropractic care can help by reducing pain and improving joint function.

8. Rotator cuff injuries

A rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that support the shoulder joint. Injury to the rotator cuff can cause pain and reduce the range of motion.

Chiropractic care can help reduce pain and improve the range of motion in patients with rotator cuff injuries. One study found that patients who received chiropractic adjustments had significant improvements in their symptoms.

9. Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve to the side. It can be painful and cause problems with balance and posture.

Chiropractic care can help reduce pain and improve posture in patients with scoliosis. One study found that patients who received chiropractic adjustments had significant improvements in their symptoms

10. Whiplash

Whiplash is a common injury that occurs when the head is suddenly and forcefully moved forward and backward. It can cause pain, stiffness, and headaches.

Chiropractic care can help reduce pain and improve the range of motion in patients with whiplash. One study found that patients who received chiropractic adjustments had significant improvements in their symptoms.
