Are You Familiar With The Long Term Benefits of Regular Chiropractic Care? The Benefits Are Even Better Than What You Might Expect!

We all know Chiropractic is great for pain relief and many times a patient comes to see Dr. Rob for the first time when they are in pain and seeking relief. A gradual misalignment finally causing a migraine or hip pain or tense muscles in their back. Dr. Rob is always ready to help and will gladly make an adjustment to help properly align your spine and allow the body to best heal and alleviate pain. Following this healing and relief he encourages all of his patients to proactively care for their healthy body, meaning continuing to receive the occasional adjustment when the initial injury is healed. We routinely visit the dentist, medical doctor, and eye doctor, to maintain our health, so it’s not new to seek preventative care, but many just haven’t considered it or don’t know it’s necessary when it comes to chiropractic. 

Did you know the benefits of regular care go way beyond pain relief? Grand Traverse Family Chiropractic in Traverse city emphasizes the importance of regular chiropractic care is for patients of all ages. Below you’ll see some of those amazing benefits, but before that...Who should get a chiropractic adjustment regularly? 

  • Office workers who spend a lot of time sitting

  • An active parent who barely has time to sit when the kids are awake

  • A child who is active in sports

  • Anyone recovering from an injury or accident

  • A grandpa who enjoys golfing

  • A grandma who spends time watching her grandkids

  • An expectant mother experiencing the aches and pains of pregnancy

  • A guitar player who bends his neck to see the strings

  • A teenager who spends a lot of time looking at a cell phone or any type of screen

  • Anyone with a spine, nervous system and a pulse :) Can benefit from the occasional visit to maintain their health. Chiropractic is literally good for everyBODY!

Your body goes through an incredible amount of stress each day and the spine can easily be misaligned. Imagine your child playing sports with their hips misaligned by half an inch. Babies are often misaligned after they are born due to being enclosed in a tight space or because of the birthing process. Sitting in the wrong position for hours can often lead to neck and back aches, especially if your spine is already misaligned. There are so many health conditions that can be prevented simply by getting an adjustment. 

How often should you get adjusted? When you visit Dr. Rob Lyons on Traverse City, he will do a full assessment and learn of any underlying health issues. From here, he will determine how often is recommended in order for the body to heal the condition and then what a routine schedule looks like for you. It varies based on overall health, activity level, and everyday stress.

Studies that Support the Long Term Benefits of Regular Chiropractic Care

A study published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research in 2005 showed that patients in a test group that received regular chiropractic care experienced higher levels of serum thiols than patients who did not receive regular adjustments.  Thiols are antioxidants made in the body that help reduce DNA damage, which leads to an improved immune system and DNA that can repair itself.  

Another study published in the Journal of Molecular and Genetic Medicine showed an increase in a patient’s telomere length after five months of chiropractic care. Telomeres are caps at the end of DNA that help protect chromosomes. Our cells cannot work properly if they are damaged and telomeres help prevent damage. The patient, who was a 35 year old female experienced pain relief in her neck and back and less frequent urination. 

What Patients Say at Grand Traverse Family Chiropractic

“My daughter last year (age 7) was having very bad body/growing pains and couldn't sleep or even sit criss cross at school. A friend suggested going and seeing doctor Rob and that he even worked on a family members infant. I was scared at first but doctor Rob made me feel very comfortable and trusted him on helping my daughter. She felt so much better and loves going. She was able to sleep and not crying she was in pain all the time. She goes regularly and everytime when the month is up she starts feeling the pains and starts asking when are we going to see doctor Rob again. I can't not thank him enough for both her being out of pain and me being able to sleep at night without been woken up all night from her crying in pain. Also his office staff is AMAZING and so kind. Beth is always ready with my daughter's favorite sticker and sucker.” - Crystal N.

“My third pregnancy I was having a lot of rib and back pain. I had almost given up hope for relief until I found Dr. Rob who had been highly recommended to me by friends and colleagues. He was patient, didn’t mind me bringing my little ones with me to the appointment and best part was that it miraculously helped with my pain. It helped me work up until I delivered by periodically receiving adjustments. I would highly recommend his services!” - Heather S.

“I went into the office not being a fan of this type of pain relief, (from past years ago experiences) and found Dr. Rob and Staff to have helped me above my expectations with neck, ankle, back, and thigh pain. I totally recommend Grand Traverse Family Chiropractor for your pain relief.” - Linus D.

“Dr. Rob is an integral part of allowing me to be active. He takes the time to ask how you are feeling and addresses those issues, but always does a very thorough check to make sure he has addressed all of your spine, etc. He is great at answering questions in a way you can understand and very patiently. (I think he actually enjoys the questions and sharing his knowledge!).” - Wendy S.
