The reason why everyone should have a chiropractor is simple. The benefits are life-
changing!
But it seems that chiropractic adjustment benefits are something that many people are still
unaware of. Even despite the treatment’s growing popularity.
Or at least many people remain skeptics.
An explanation of the incredible benefits of regular chiropractic visits is in order. There’s a
lot of them. Let’s go through them all!
Why Everyone Should Have A Chiropractor (All Benefits Explained)
1. Relieves Pain Many people have eliminated their need to use pain medication for their symptoms because
of chiropractic care. Spinal manipulation (a term describing general chiropractic treatment)
has often been shown to be more effective than mediation. Particularly for those people
who suffer from acute neck pain.
In fact, there is data showing that a high percentage of people actually pay less for their care
this way. In the long run, chiropractic treatment can not only replace
medication, but also cost less.
Some common ailments for which chiropractic care often relieves the need for medicine
are:
- scoliosis
- ear infections
- headaches
- neck pain
- lower back pain
- sciatica

2. Causes Are Addressed Rather Than Symptoms There’s an innate problem with modern medication and over-the-counter drugs. By their
very nature, they are designed to treat symptoms. They don’t cure anything. They simply
provide temporary relief.
Chiropractic treatment, on the other hand, has a different purpose. And that purpose is to
solve the problem at its roots. It gets at the cause of the pain. Relief through actual healing.
The chiropractic field deals directly with the nervous system. And all the nerves in your
body radiate out from your spine. This is why spine health is so incredibly important and has
such an affect on your overall wellbeing.
3. No Drugs Pain medication is problematic for a number of reasons. Two of the main ones are (1) all of
the negative side effects and (2) the risk of addiction.
Why Everyone Should Have A Chiropractor (All Benefits Explained)
Using chiropractic adjustment benefits instead of drugs to eliminate pain allows you to
avoid these issues.
We’ve all likely taken pain meds at some point in our lives. Some more than others. But
chiropractors offer a drug-free option that aims for permanent pain relief. There are so many
health benefits associated with reducing medication intake.
Chiropractic is often referred to as a holistic system. This means it attempts to heal without drugs and focuses on full body wellness rather than symptom treatment. Holistic also means
noninvasive.
By avoiding drugs, there are virtually no side effects to chiropractic treatment. It’s so much
safer than surgery. Of all the benefits of seeking treatment this way, the fact that it’s drug free
is one of the most important.
4. Complements Other Treatments Because of the noninvasive, drug-free nature of chiropractic medicine, it’s a perfect
complement to other treatments. If you have chronic pain, perhaps you’re engaged in other
treatments like TENS, oral meds, nerve blocks, etc.
5
Why Everyone Should Have A Chiropractor (All Benefits Explained)
If you are, getting chiropractic care on top of these other pain therapies is often a great idea.
Before you combine pain treatments, though, talk to your doctor.
5. Treatments Are Customizable
Whatever the nature of your chronic pain, a chiropractor can customize the treatment to fit
your condition. There are many different tools and techniques that chiropractors use to treat
certain ailments.
Unlike meds that are usually created to treat one particular thing, chiropractic treatment is
for everyone. No matter what.
6. Very Low Risk Compared to all the different pain therapies available, chiropractic may be the one with the
least amount of risk. It also may be the one with the least amount of side effects.
In the rare instance where you do experience a side effect, it’s usually an ache or soreness of
some kind. Also, every so often, a chiropractic patient reports a headache or fatigue after a
successful adjustment.
Why Everyone Should Have A Chiropractor (All Benefits Explained)
In some VERY RARE cases, serious side effects have been reported. Like a stroke, a herniate
disc, and worsened pain. But again, extremely rare.
7. Particularly High Success Rate Treating Back And Neck Pain Sure, there are many ways to treat back and neck pain. But none have the success rate
treating those two conditions that chiropractic therapy does.
This is certainly one of the most appealing things about these treatments. Millions and
millions of people suffer from neck and back pain. The chiropractic adjustment
benefits in these two areas are off the charts.
Spinal manipulation (another term referring to chiropractic treatment) also has great success
in treating chronic headaches.

8. Relief From Invisible Chronic Conditions
An invisible chronic condition is one that seems to have no rhyme or reason for exisiting,
yet it does. These are really hard to treat. Chronic fatigue syndrome is usually put in this
category. As is fibromyalgia.
If you have a phantom chronic condition and haven’t looked into seeing a chiropractor, you need to. It’s very possible that regular visits could ease or eliminate your pain.
9. Cancer Benefits Cancer patients often experience the following:
- periperhal neuropathy
- back pain
- neck pain
- muscle tension
- headaches
- difficulty walking
Why Everyone Should Have A Chiropractor (All Benefits Explained)
This is because cancer takes a toll on the musculoskeletal system. Cancer patients can experience chiropractic adjustment benefits in a big way. Regular sessions can provide more
flexibility and mobility, stress relief, and strength, improving the recipients overall well-
being.
10. Treats A Large Number Of Ailments By now we’ve hopefully dispelled the myth that chiropractic adjustment benefits only apply
to the back and neck. Here are some other common health issues that chiropractic therapy
can help:
- gastrointestinal syndromes
- menstrual disorders
- ear infections
- headaches (migraines)
- fertility problems
- colic
- multiple sclerosis
- asthma

And these are only some. Whatever health or physical problems you have, chances are it’s
worth it to try chiropractic.
11. Relief After Car Accidents & Workplace Injuries
When most people think about chiropractic adjustment benefits, they think of recovery from
a car accident. It’s been the go-to treatment for whiplash for a long time, which is most
commonly linked to auto accidents.
Also, injuries sustained at work almost always call for a chiropractor. It’s very common for
them to treat these kinds of patients. So much so that most chiropractors are well versed in
workplace insurance claims.
12. Benefits Pregnant Women Not only are there chiropractic adjustment benefits for pregnant women, some
chiropractors actually specialize in treating pregnant women.
Why Everyone Should Have A Chiropractor (All Benefits Explained)
A high percentage of pregnant women experience one or all of these things:
- posture adaptation
- neck pain
- back pain
- hip pain
- nausea
- increase pelvic curve
Did you know that, for some women, regular visits to a chiropractor during pregnancy
alleviates many of these things? Sometimes all of them!
Remember earlier when we mentioned that all of the nerves in your body are connected to
your spine? Spinal misalignment is the source of so many ailments. When you have it
adjusted regularly, pain relief and better health are the results.

13. It’s Non-Invasive Chiropractic care involves no surgery and no medication. Not only that, but treatment is
fast! No staying at the hospital or enduring long recovery times that prevent you from living
your life like normal.
Most of the time you’re allowed to leave right after you received a treatment.
14. Wealth Of Exercise & Nutritional Information
Chiropractors know A LOT about exercise and nutrition. Many of them are licensed in
nutritional counseling, exercise science, and/or physical therapy in addition to being a
practicing chiropractor.
When you go for a visit, you get the added bonus of tapping into that wealth of knowledge.
Most chiropractors will give their patients advice on how to maintain results at home.
They’ll provide customized plans or exercise routines that can be done at home.

15. Posture Improvement Many people with chronic pain have bad posture. For some, they’ve had it since before
living with pain and it now just exacerbates their issues. For others, the chronic pain has
resulted in bad posture.
Being hunched over causes all sorts of spinal-related problems that reach to other areas of
the body. Some of the fastest acting chiropractic adjustment benefits are posture-related.
Neck issues affect posture in a big way. All the time we spend with our heads tilted down,
looking at screens, causes long-term problems. And young people are developing this neck
curve condition uncomfortably soon.
Better posture provides not only health benefits but self-confidence and social benefits as
well.

16. Ergonomic Benefits Back in the day, physical activity for pretty much everyone was part of daily life. Sunrise to
sunset, in most cases. But now, that way of life is no more. Today, so many of us spend most
our waking hours sitting down.
All the comforts of modern life have all but eliminated the need for exerting
large amounts of physical energy. At least for many of us.
Because of this, our spines are not healthy. Our necks have lots of pressure on them from
the forward-head position we’re always in. What does this do? Studies show it causes sinus
issues and headaches, to name only two.
Chiropractors help repair your bad posture which, first and foremost, relieves pain. Maybe
pain you weren’t truly cognizant of because you’ve been living like that for so long.

17. Effective Preventative Care Spinal misalignment leads to so many issues, namely pinched nerves, muscle pain, and
muscle stiffness. But if you make regularl visits before these things ever develop, all the
better.
Chiropractic medicine is very preventive. Children, even infants, can make visits to a
chiropractor. Starting visits at a young age can prevent all sorts of problems.
18. Great For Your Immune System Because your nervous system and immune system are closely connected, fixing one will
provide benefit to the other.
Spinal misalignment often causes something called neural dysfunction which leads to stress.
But with visits to a chiropractor, many people have reported noticeable improvements to
their immune system. Some even immediately.
15

19. Mental Health Improvements Full disclosure: there is only limited research that exists on the connection between mental
health and chiropractic treatment. But evidence that does exist is positive and
promising.
It’s all but proven that brain health is firmly tied to the nervous system. Because chiropractic
care is holistic in nature, it promotes mental clarity and balance. When you couple
treatment with an overall healthy lifestyle, improvements in mental health come right along
with it.
20. Helps With Depression If you live with chronic pain, studies show you’re almost 4 times more likely to show signs
of depression. Focusing is difficult, social interactions can be ruined in a moment,
everything is just harder with pain constantly lurking.
Depression and chronic pain have been linked together for a long time. But chiropractic
adjustment benefits can break that link. When relief from chronic pain is finally a reality,
anxiety and depression follow suit.

21. Promotes Relaxation If you’re spending time and money on massages to help you relax, just wait until you visit a
chiropractor. Many people get the same benefits as a professional massage, and then some.
Again, we can’t stress enough the long-term relief that chiropractic therapy brings. Do you
have trouble relaxing? Are you always on the go? A few visits to the chiropractor could be
one of the biggest breaths of fresh air you’ve ever taken. A spinal realignment could help
you feel as relaxed as you’ve ever been.
22. Effects Blood Pressure Because spine health is intertwined with the health of countless other body functions,
chiropractic adjustment benefits are seemingly endless. For one, even blood pressure
has been verifiably effected as a result of chiropractic
treatment.
If you live with high blood pressure despite many attempts to lower it, consider setting up
an appointment with a chiropractor.
17
Why Everyone Should Have A Chiropractor (All Benefits Explained)
23. Promotes Quality Sleep As you might expect, all the benefits of chiropractic therapy we’ve talked about logically
add up to better sleep. In fact, these therapies have a really high success rate treating sleep
disorders.
But calling a chiropractor isn’t usually the first thing you think of when having trouble
sleeping. In reality, it should be one of the first things you try. Especially if you live with
chronic pain. Trouble sleeping and chronic pain are two peas in pod.
Spinal adjustments have helped millions of people sleep better.
24. Increases Energy Levels
Many chiropractic studies report that lots of participants experience more energy as a result.
It isn’t any wonder, though, knowing they now have improved immune systems and sleep
better.

25. Enhanced Athletic Performance Professional athletes are one group of people who are very familiar with chiropractic
benefits. Every professional sports team has one on staff. These athletes have regular
appointments. It’s a high priority.
Why? Because experts in the field of sports medicine know that spinal adjustments
positively affect the entire body. Pro athletes bodies are worth a lot of money to these
organization. Keeping them healthy is of the utmost importance.
If you’re an athlete and are experiencing pain, chiropractic appointments could give you the
relief you’re looking for.
26. It’s Holistic Remember, holistic means:
characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social
factors, rather than just the symptoms of a disease. (Oxford English Dictionary)
19
Why Everyone Should Have A Chiropractor (All Benefits Explained)
Chiropractic medicine considers the entire body as a single entity, focusing on the spine as
a well-spring of health. Its goal is to truly heal you. Not temporarily placate you with pills.
27. Saves A Lot Of Money You don’t need us to tell you that health care is expensive. From the copay all the way to the
fee for surgery, thousands of dollars adds up very quickly. And then you usually pay ongoing
costs to keep filling up your prescription.
Taking a chiropractic road to healing instead of a traditional one can save so much money.
Sometimes 50% or more of what you would otherwise pay going through the regular
medical care system.
We’re not saying it works wonderfully every time for every person. But we’re definitely
saying that it’s worth exploring in almost every scenario.
28. Much Less Visits The road to healing is usually faster with chiropractic adjustment benefits. The amount of
total visits that you need to make are way less in comparison to other treatment methods.
Why Everyone Should Have A Chiropractor (All Benefits Explained)
Chiropractic therapy is all about the early detection of health issues. It not only heals
current issues but prevents others from happening in the future. This results in a lower
number of necessary visits in general.
