10 Top Signs You Need A Chiropractic Adjustment

1. Persistent Back or Neck Pain

When you stop being 20, you get to say goodbye to the story that ‘this pain should go away on its own’. It sometimes doesn’t, and increasing age, sub-optimal physical fitness and leaving the problem too long can slow the process of self-healing even more. If you’re experiencing discomfort, stiffness, or soreness that don’t go away by themselves, it could indicate that your spinal bones or other joints aren’t moving as they should. A chiropractor can help realign your spine as well as all other areas of the body, providing relief and preventing future issues.

2. Frequent Headaches or Migraines

Suffering from headaches or migraines? Yes, you can blame your screen or your hormones or your heavy backpack, but spinal misalignments can contribute to tension headaches or even migraines by putting pressure on nearby nerves. When our neck and spine are moving well, we can comfortably sit for longer periods of at our desks, staring at our screens and phones. In fact, doing all the dumb, posturally-challenging things we love to pretend are fine become easier on our bodies. Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve pressure in areas that aren’t moving well, and help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches.

3. Limited Range of Motion

Having a hard time turning your head fully or leaning forward without discomfort? Maybe you’re turning your whole body to talk to your friend! A limited range of motion in your neck, shoulders, or back could indicate a misalignment. Chiropractic care can restore mobility by adjusting the joints and soft tissues to their proper alignment.

4. Pain in Muscles that Massage Doesn’t Fix

Had a hundred massages and nothing seems to budge your pain? Well, unless you have the world’s worst massage therapist, it could be that misaligned joints are preventing your muscles from moving as they should. When a join isn’t moving well, the muscles around it may tense and guard, and nothing we do to them will switch them off. A chiropractor can assess your spine and joints, providing targeted adjustments to get the joints moving so your muscles can relax.

5. Chronic Fatigue

Are you a morning zombie? Waking up tired despite getting enough sleep might be a sign you’re body is ‘out of whack’. Spinal misalignments can interfere with the nervous system’s ability to communicate efficiently with the rest of your body, leading to fatigue. A chiropractic adjustment can enhance nerve function, which improves blood flow and increases your energy levels.

6. Numbness or Tingling in Limbs

Pins and needles or a tingling sensation in your arms or legs that doesn’t go away on its own could be a sign of a pinched nerve, possibly linked to conditions like sciatica, caused by spinal misalignment. Numbness and tingling are often the first signs of quite serious conditions like disc problems, and wherever you decide to go, you should definitely get that checked out, like, today. You’re welcome.

7. Poor Posture

OMG, modern life, amirite? Whether you’re sitting at a desk for hoooouuuuuuuuuurs, working on your feet all day (add 🙁 points if you do so in heels), or a slave to staring at your phone, these habits can lead to poor posture, especially in the neck and upper back. Chiropractors can help correct these issues by adjusting your spine and offering tips to help you avoid posture issues in the future.

8. Stress and Tension Buildup

Chronic stress doesn’t just affect your mind. Science has finally caught up with what bodyworkers have known for ages – that emotional stressors take a toll on your body, leading to tightness in your muscles and tension in your spine and about a gazillion other physical problems. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help release built-up tension, improve blood flow, and calm the nervous system, promoting overall well-being.

9.  Recent Accident or Injury

If you’ve had an accident or injury, it’s highly possible your spine is out of alignment and needs attention. It’s essential to see a chiropractor soon after an injury, especially a car accident, fall or impact injury, as some issues may not manifest immediately but could worsen over time without proper care and then you might be really very sad. And that would make us really, really sad. About as sad as it makes us when we realise that we’ve spent ages writing this article and no one will read it. Ah, well. If you did read this far, feel free to send us a message to let us know. It will definitely give us a little giggle. Sometimes we do this for our own amusement.

10. Sleep Problems

Struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep? Perhaps you should put your phone in another room like you’ve been told a thousand times already. But you know what? Spinal misalignments can put stress on your nervous system, and this may also make it hard for your body to relax and rest properly. A chiropractic adjustment may help improve your sleep quality by relieving tension and restoring comfort.

If you’re noticing any of these signs, perhaps it’s a good time to consider chiropractic care. If you’re a bit frightened or don’t know what to expect, call us for more info. Our chiropractors have both been first-time patients, too, and one of them even tells a story about literally running down the street to escape her friend who wanted to give her her first chiropractic adjustment. But in the end, chiropractic care changed her life. A gentle adjustment can support your body’s recovery, too, helping you feel more aligned, at ease, and energised.
