5 Reasons to See a Chiropractor in Woodbridge, VA

 5 Reasons to See a Chiropractor

1. Neck/back pain

This is the most common reason people think to see a chiropractor but did you know they can treat all parts of the body? Indeed, they can! We regularly treat shoulders, knees, feet, hips etc. When we adjust the spine, where working on the joints that are between the vertebrae. Knees/shoulder/etc. are just big joints. We can help figure out what muscles are tight, what muscles are weak, and create a plan to help you feel better.

2. You were in a car accident 

Pain in your neck and back are very common after car accidents. Even if you aren’t in pain right away, it can creep up on you over the next couple of days. It is important to see a chiropractor as soon as you can since getting adjusted and the therapies provided during an appointment can help to decrease your pain and help you to heal faster.

3. You’re having headaches/migraines 

Headaches can by caused by many things but some of the most common causes of headaches can be addressed by a chiropractor. Your neck could be subluxated, the extra tension can cause headaches. Another reason is poor posture. Since we sit a lot more than we used to and use phones and computers frequently, many people have poor posture. Now your head is more forward than it would normally be making the muscles in the back of your neck work extra hard creating, you guessed it! A headache. A chiropractor can help you correct your posture with regular adjustments and exercises.

4. You’re having problems sleeping

Problems sleeping can affect you all through your day because you are still tired. Chiropractors have been shown to help with this because when you are properly aligned, your muscles can ease instead of fighting with each other. This can help you to get deeper, longer sleep. There are many reasons you might have problems sleeping, similar to headaches but chiropractic is a holistic place to start.

5. Your healthy and you want to stay that way! 

Monthly maintenance care helps keep your body working as efficiently as it can which can help you prevent injury. If you do get re-injured, you will heal and feel better faster than the first time too! It’s the same as doing maintenance for your car, the difference is your car has replaceable parts.
