Heart disease and other related conditions like stroke are the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States.
Since February is National Heart Health Month, it’s important to raise awareness around the devastating effects and widespread reach cardiovascular disease has.
In the United States alone, over 610,000 individuals die each year due to some type of heart disease, costing our health care system over $400 billion to treat.
Although most of us have been told to get plenty of exercise and eat a well-balanced diet in order to maintain optimum health, many of us are not aware of how Chiropractic treatment in Jonesboro can reduce and prevent the risk of developing heart disease.
Studies have shown that Chiropractic adjustments or manipulations that are applied to the tip of your neck can significantly lower high blood pressure and stabilize fast heart rates.
Even more so, adjustments that are applied to your lower back can activate particular reactions within your nervous system, resulting in the reduction of total heartbeats per minute and lower blood pressure.
Chiropractic Treatment Can Support Heart Wellness
The following considerations are just a few of the ways that Chiropractic treatment is able to strengthen your cardiovascular health and prevent heart disease from developing.
Educate Yourself
One of the best ways to combat heart disease is by educating yourself around the root causes, as well as what preventative measures you can take in the immediate future.
Beyond offering you spinal adjustments, our Chiropractors can provide you with information that helps you support your overall wellness, including details around custom diets and exercise plans.
Reduce Built Up Stress
Stress is known to be a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease, especially when it comes to suffering from a heart attack or stroke.
When left untreated, stress can reduce your body’s ability to fight off harmful bacteria and diseases, as well as wear down your internal systems.
Our Chiropractors are able to offer you massage therapy, which is a relaxing, comfortable, and effective means for reducing built-up tension.
Keep Track of Your Immune System
Chiropractic treatment is proven to be an effective means for boosting your immune system, improving your heart’s health and reducing a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.
Visiting a Chiropractor on a monthly basis allows you to take an accurate account of your health, as your doctor will keep a sharp record of any illnesses or warning signs that suggest or lead to heart disease.
If anything were to be detected, you’re afforded the luxury of treating your particular condition in its earliest stages.
