5 Ways That Chiropractic Treatment Can Improve Circulation

When you think of chiropractors, it’s easy to relate them to back and neck pain, but did you know that chiropractic treatment could also be beneficial to improve blood circulation?

Having proper blood circulation at any age is imperative to your health and there are many factors that can sacrifice proper blood circulation. For example, sitting at a desk for long periods of time can cause poor blood circulation, which can lead to swelling of the calves, ankles, and feet. Some individuals also suffer from diseases and illnesses that can reduce blood circulation, such as diabetes.

Regardless of the culprit behind your case of poor blood circulation, chiropractic treatment can improve your condition.  

Here are a few ways that Chiropractic Physician, Dr. Jack J. Cacic of Lake Worth Chiropractic & Wellness can help you improve blood circulation:

1. Spinal Adjustments- When a chiropractor performs a spinal adjustment, pressure is removed from the nerves, which allows smooth blood flow. By correcting these vertebral subluxations, Dr. Jack J. Cacic can help to restore healthy circulation to the brain.

2. Ultrasound Therapy- One of the treatment options used at Lake Worth Chiropractic & Wellness is ultra-sound therapy, which can help to increase circulation. Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate the tissue up to five inches below the skin's surface, increasing circulation that reduces swelling and brings added oxygen and nutrients to the painful area.

3. Massage Therapy- Massage therapy is a holistic manual treatment that releases contracted muscles and pushes venous blood towards the heart. This increase in circulation brings energy producing nutrients and oxygen to your cells and also carries away metabolic waste products that can make you feel listless and drained. In addition, massage therapy increases your body's oxygen carrying red blood cell count helping to bring even more oxygen to your body's cells.

4. Stretching Techniques- Dr. Cacic can teach you proper stretches that you can practice at home, designed to help get your blood flowing. Stretching will not only improve circulation, but it will also improve flexibility, which provides added health benefits to your overall wellness.

5. Nutritional Guidance- Knowing how to properly fuel your body can be tricky, especially when you have specific health concerns. Dr. Jack J. Cacic can help you incorporate healthy eating habits into your lifestyle that support optimal blood circulation. Additionally, he can help you add foods that stimulate blood circulation into your diet, such as ginger root.
