5 Signs It Might Be Time for your Adjustment

Holistic chiropractic care is centered on treating the whole person, acknowledging the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit. Whilst you may think that pain is the only reason to see your chiropractor, regular chiropractic adjustments may help play a vital role in maintaining overall well-being allowing you to thrive and function at your best. Here are five signs that indicate it might be time to book in your next adjustment:

1.You’re waking up tired or have difficulty getting comfortable:

Quality sleep is crucial for overall health, and waking up tired or trouble getting to sleep may indicate that your nervous system is not functioning optimally. Difficulty getting comfortable may be a sign of postural or structural issues. Adjustments can address musculoskeletal imbalances and contribute to an improved sleep environment, fostering restful and rejuvenating nights.

2.Joint stiffness or lack of mobility:

If you've noticed a decrease in your range of motion, it could be indicative of imbalances within your musculoskeletal system. Holistic chiropractors focus on restoring balance and mobility through adjustments, positively impacting physical performance and overall well-being.

3.Digestive upset or trouble going to the toilet:

Persistent digestive upset, such as bloating, indigestion, discomfort or constipation may indicate misalignments or imbalances affecting the nervous system's connection to the digestive organs. Adjustments aim to promote better nerve function and potentially alleviating digestive issues.

4.You feel stressed or overwhelmed constantly:

This can indicate that your body is stuck in a constant state of fight or flight. Stress is an essential element of life and is actually beneficial for us - if it is only for a small period of time. If you're experiencing heightened stress levels constantly or struggling with emotional well-being, it might be time for an adjustment. Adjustments align the spine, release tension, and work to regulate your nervous system which can promote a sense of balance, positively impacting your emotional health.

5. Poor Posture:

Modern lifestyles mean we are often sedentry for long periods of time, staring at screens and working with forward posture which can lead to poor posture and create a range of health issues. Regular adjustments can help improve posture by improving the communication between the brain and your posture muscles, preventing long-term complications and promoting better overall health.
