How Chiropractic Care Has Been Shown to Improve Blood Circulation

How Chiropractic Care Helps Blood Flow 

Do you suffer from cold feet and hands?

If you're always curled up in a blanket or dressing in layers, the concept of poor blood circulation isn't a revelation.

Living with cold extremities may be something you've just gotten used to. But, poor circulation is not normal, and it should be addressed.

Having proper blood flow is vital for your comfort and your health.

While you may have tried eating a diet that is high in iron or exercise on a regular basis to increase circulation, many people out there overlook Chiropractic Care and how it can improve their circulation.

Spinal adjustments from an experienced chiropractor can have long-term benefits for increasing the flow of blood and help to stabilize blood pressure.

Understanding Poor Blood Flow 

Normal blood flow is important for overall health and comfort.

Our blood that flows through the body provides nutrients and oxygen to every cell.

If even one vertebra is out of alignment, then circulation can be compromised.

When our circulation is compromised, people will often experienced cold hands and feet because they are the furthest away from the heart.

Although the heart may be pumping blood at a normal speed, if there are restrictions between there and the extremities, healthy blood flow may be prevented.

Finding the restrictions is key to returning circulation back to normal.

Subluxations in the spine are often responsible for impeding the function of the circulatory system.

The blood supply that is routed through the thoracic spine can experience a reduction in pressure due to the vertebral disc being out of alignment.

This means there is also a reduction in the circulatory force behind the blood flow to the extremities, which causes the coldness and tingling sensation.

Cold Hands from Circulation Issues

Effects of Poor Circulation 

If you're suffering from poor circulation, it's quite possible to experience any of the following:

  1. Cold or tingly hands and feet.
  2. Decreased mental concentration or alertness.
  3. Dizziness
  4. Nausea
  5. Migraines
  6. Fainting

Prolonged reduction in circulation can also lead to other health conditions such as visual, hearing, and spatial problems and could increase one's chances of suffering from dementia or stroke.

Since the brain runs off of oxygen, proper blood circulation goes hand-in-hand with body functions and healthy brain function.

How Chiropractic Adjustments Help Blood Circulation 

Chiropractic Care may be the solution you've been looking for to improve your circulation.

Chiropractic care is a natural approach to healing and wellness that is known to fix spinal subluxations and help with proper circulation. 

When the spinal column is suffering from restrictions or joint dysfunction, blood flow can be reduced throughout the entire body.

In some cases, spinal misalignments are responsible for reduced blood flow and constricted blood vessels. 

Spinal manipulations can help treat these slipped discs and alleviate the discomfort they cause directly and through their reduced circulatory system function.

Chiropractic adjustments can help promote proper circulation by treating joint restrictions and dysfunctions in the spine, releasing nerve interference, and restoring circulation.

Chiropractic treatment focuses on the connection between the spine and the nervous system. They recognize how structural misalignment in the spine can damage and impact the nervous system.

A chiropractor's goal is to restore the structural integrity of the spine and, therefore, restore overall health.

With effective treatment, such as chiropractic adjustments and spinal manipulations, the doctor is able to reduce pressure on the neurological tissue and reestablish normal proper mobility, allowing blood flow to regulate properly.

Chiropractic spinal alignment also helps the healing process by providing pain relief and a reduction in inflammation. 

The nervous system connects the entire human body and all its organs.

A chiropractor takes a holistic approach to hands-on-healing by treating the whole body, not just individual areas or organs.
