1. Improved Nerve Function in Minnetonka MN

Chiropractic in Minnetonka MN’s main focus is to help the nervous system work better by removing interference caused by subluxated (misaligned) vertebra. Shifted vertebra can crush and irritate the spinal nerves, causing organ dysfunction and even lead to disease down the road. By getting adjusted regularly, the spinal nerves are able to flow out to the rest of the body at 100% without interference. No nerve interference means optimal function for every organ that those nerves go to.

2. Preventing Spinal Degeneration

Spinal arthritis and degenerative disc disease are becoming more and more of a problem as Americans are taking on more of a sedentary lifestyle. This is resulting in more and more costly spine surgeries, needle injections and pain medications, many of which can be prevented if we simply take care of our spines by getting adjusted on a routine basis.  By getting adjusted regularly, you are preventing spinal arthritis and disc disease by breaking up any joint restrictions in the spine. Think of it as an investment in your future self by preventing any costly surgeries and painful injections down the road.

3. Boosted Immune Function

A boosted immune system is one of the major benefits of getting adjusted on a regular basis. Many people get adjusted every week for this reason alone. Studies have been done to measure immune system performance before and after adjustments and have found a 200% increase in immune system performance following an adjustment! The main white blood cell found to be increased was the neutrophil, which is an important cell for fighting off new pathogens that are introduced to the body.

4. Improved Flexibility

An often forgotten about benefit of getting adjusted is improved flexibility and mobility. This can correlate to less injuries during exercise, sports or any other physical activity. This can also correlate to better performance in those same activities. Life is motion; a more mobile spine will without a doubt improve your vitality!

5. Decreased Stress Hormones

You may have heard of chiropractic being a great stress reliever for many people. This has a lot to do with spinal adjustments reducing stress hormones like cortisol, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Research shows that getting adjusted regularly lowers the amount of stress hormones your body produces.  Lowered stress hormones puts you at a less risk for developing chronic disease, since most chronic diseases develop due to overexposure to stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine.
