How can chiropractic care help? Beyond providing relief for neck pain, back pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome and various other neuromusculoskeletal conditions, many people ask if chiropractic care can provide benefits for the heart and circulatory system.  

On a physical level, chiropractic care can help to release tension and tightness from the body.  It can help improve blood and lymph flow, providing tissues and organs with more oxygen, enabling them to function better.  When muscle and joint functions are improved, energy levels increase.  Improved circulation and lymph flow facilitates healing, and assists in the elimination of waste materials. 

By relieving tension and improving blood flow, chiropractic care has a soothing effect on the central nervous system.  These treatments are effective in the prevention and treatment of stress and anxiety, aiding in relaxation, thereby being of benefit to the heart and circulatory system.

Chiropractors may also make dietary and lifestyle recommendations to decrease the modifiable risk factors of heart disease, and to improve overall health and well-being.

There are many health care professionals and wellness practitioners who can help you improve your health, as well as many on-line resources.  Check out www.heartandstroke.ca and www.fitin15.ca for some ideas.  Make 2012 your year of health!
