Chiropractic care helps put the entire body in its best form, including the heart. Spinal adjustments have been shown to decrease blood pressure and lower your heart rate. Read on to learn about some of the benefits chiropractic care has on heart health. At Therapeutic Solutions LLC in Newport News, VA, Dr. Christopher Brill is dedicated to helping his patients achieve a healthy life.
When a vertebra is misaligned, this causes pressure onto the tissues and nerves which can interrupt messages to and from the brain. When the C1 vertebra is misaligned, it can disrupt messages that go to the heart. Adjustments to the spine realign the vertebrae allow nerves and tissues in the surrounding area to function as they should.
It is thought that when the C1 vertebra is misaligned, it sends out signals that contract the arteries. Therefore, both systolic and diastolic blood pressures are increased. When the C1 vertebra is moved back into place, it decreases the blood pressure again in both systolic and diastolic measurements. Another benefit is a decreased heart rate. It is thought that when the rest of your cervical spine is adjusted, the eight pairs of nerves in the cervical spine are able to function properly which may reduce the heart rate.
Chiropractic care offers benefits for the whole body. For more information visit our website at www.therapeutic-solutions-llc.com or feel free to contact Dr. Brill & staff at 757-873-4131.
