Chiropractic care for circulatory issues

You may have been surprised when your general practitioner recommended you seek the help of a Vernon Hills chiropractor for problems you may be having with your circulation. But there is a good reason for it. Of all the more “alternative” medical specialties, chiropractic care is the most accepted. Over the past few decades, more and more studies have been done that prove its effectiveness. While most people think of chiropractors as the doctors that crack backs, what they do actually has a far greater impact on your body's systems than you know.

Seeing the body as a whole, not just the sum of its symptom

One reason that chiropractors are able to help with so many issues is that they have been trained to see the body as a whole unit. Most medical professionals are trained to focus in on relieving the symptom. This is why they can be happy that you aren't in pain when your leg is still falling off. Their mindset is not to correct a problem, but to resolve a symptom. Chiropractors know that every part of the body interacts with each other, and then all of it is held within the environment of your life. They understand the science of the body through the mindset of the wellness of the individual’s life. When this comes to dealing with circulation issues, your VernonHills Chiropractor may be the one professional who can help you best.

The way the circulation is laid out is what makes it work

While we all have an image in our mind's eye about the path of the circulatory system in the body, we don't really understand the importance of its layout. Arteries and veins run all over the body, but they follow the paths of the bone. If there are issues in how your joints, muscles, tendons or ligaments are functioning it can interfere with your circulation. Your chronically cold feet could be caused by your spine being out of alignment. Also, another aspect of circulation is the integrity of your nerve system. If your body is getting the wrong signals your brain won't know how to run the circulatory system effectively.

How your Vernon Hills chiropractor can help

By closely examining the alignment of your spine and other major joints, your chiropractor can then begin to build a picture of all the factors that are influencing the problem with your circulation that you are having. They may begin with a primary spinal realignment, which may take some weeks. Following this they may do a form of muscle and joint therapy designed to keep the spine in its correct place while working with the rest of the body to better support it. The result is that the pathways around your circulatory system become more relaxed and blood will flow better. If you are having problems, talk to a chiropractor, they can do far more than you know to help you return to a full and happy life.
