Why People in Santa Monica Visit Chiropractors For Allergies

Chiropractic care in Santa Monica can help with a wide variety of health concerns. While many people associate chiropractors with back pain, whiplash, or concerns after a car accident, they can actually help with a lot more than that. Many people have found that regular chiropractic treatments have worked to improve their allergy symptoms.

How does that work?

How Spinal Misalignment Affects Your Health

Actually, the true answer to how spinal misalignment may affect your health is much wider than we currently understand. Researchers are uncovering more ways that your spinal health affects your overall wellness every day. However, we do already know quite a bit.

The spinal column is a key part of the body, consisting of many small parts. These small parts need to stay in alignment for optimal health. The spine allows the body to rotate, which provides the full range of motion for the body. When one of the small bones or discs in the spinal column comes out of alignment, it can compress any of the many nerves in the area.

A number of things can happen when this occurs. Sometimes there is pain. Sometimes there is numbness or tingling.

So far, we've covered that the spinal column, when misaligned, may impact the nervous system. Did you know that the nervous system and the immune system are linked?

A chiropractor will perform a spinal adjustment as part of a treatment plan. This is pain free and simply helps the body move back to its natural state of healthy alignment.

Once the spine is properly aligned, the nervous system finds relief.

This helps the immune system function at its best.

There are many ways that spinal alignment can affect your overall health. Improvements that allow your body to function better overall, including your immune system, is one area that can make great overall improvements to daily health for many people.

A Stronger Immune System Handles Allergies Better

Allergies are not a weak immune system, they are an immune system overreaction. The body sees an invader, like pollen, and then overreacts to this by producing extra effort to fight the pollen off. This creates allergy symptoms that can be unpleasant and make it difficult to get through the day.

While we usually think of improving the immune system as something to be done when it's weak, this can also help better balance concerns like allergies.

Feeling Better To Handle Allergy Symptoms

Another reason allergy sufferers make regular treatment plans with chiropractors is to feel better overall. Allergy symptoms are one thing. But on top of all the other aches and pains that come along with spinal misalignment, it can be extra difficult to get through the day.

If you're suffering from regular allergy symptoms, it is easy to assign all of your health concerns and feeling rundown to your allergies.

Having a properly aligned spine can help with problems like back pain, neck pain, sleeping problems, headaches, and other common issues that are easy to dismiss as part of the allergy symptoms. Only once people are free of the troubles of spinal misalignment do they realize it wasn't the allergies afterall.

When you visit your Santa Monica chiropractor, it's a good time to discuss all of your health concerns. Ask questions about how things work. Tell them about your concerns about sleep or the headaches you get in the early afternoons. They can use this information to help you find answers and create a treatment plan for your best health.
