Did you know a chiropractor compliments your health and is a necessary part of your wellness regime?

Today we live in an environment and time that even with the best nutritional efforts we can be left deficient in certain vitamins, minerals, co-factors, and enzymes. And to that end, we have all become comfortable with the idea of nutritional supplementation to fill in the gap like routinely taking a multivitamin. That’s why we have asked holistic chiropractor Andrew Richards from Well Aligned Cammeray to share his thoughts on this hyped matter.

What exactly does a chiropractor do?

A chiropractor is trained to make sure your body is functioning as optimally as possible by using spinal manipulations to relieve pain in your joints and muscles. These spinal adjustments will increase blood flow and nerve conductivity to the joints and muscles that are experiencing pain.

For some of us, our lifestyles are such that we just need more than what wholefoods on their own can provide. And for others they may have certain factors that limit their ability to absorb and store nutrients, again necessitating even more specific and tailored supplementation regimes.

A good example of this is iron. You may be a healthy, active, well-nourished female who still just needs a little bit more to stay in the optimal range. It may be that you have a really heavy period, dietary preferences that make it hard to get enough, or just don’t absorb iron well. Or, you just acknowledge that your nutritional status is not always great. That your diet does not always provide you with the range and variety of foods required to be at your best so your back-up is a multivitamin supplement.

How Does A Chiropractor Work With Your Body?

They work with your structural and neuromuscular systems. All your joints, muscles, brain, and nervous system need a daily dose of widely varied, full-range movements to stay healthy. For most of us, our habitual daily routines leave us grossly deficient in the sort of movement profile required to stay at our best. This is where something like Chiropractic steps in. A chiropractor uniquely concerns itself with a holistic approach to your structural health and wellness. They look to find where your life has left you deficient causing joints to get stiff and/or out of alignment as well as muscles short and tight.

In this light a chiropractor provides movement supplementation, restoring lost motion and bringing you back to balance, filling in that gap that a movement deficient lifestyle has left behind. It’s also a great way to deal with small problems quickly before they become big ones. It is the perfect partner to a well-balanced lifestyle approach to your health and wellness which should always incorporate a good sleep, nutrition, and hydration, inspiring healthy social interactions, and daily varied movement by way of exercise.
