KILLEEN, Texas, April 23, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Isdale Chiropractic is sharing information on the health benefits of chiropractic adjustments. They pointed out several conditions which studies have shown are improved by this practice, which focuses on bringing the spine into the proper alignment. These conditions range from the expected, such as sciatica, to less commonly known ones such as high blood pressure, arthritis, and chronic headaches.

Chiropractic medicine came into existence after a healer named D. D. Palmer was approached by a man who had gone deaf in one ear after sustaining an injury. Palmer examined him and noticed that one of his cervical vertebrae had been knocked far out of alignment. After using his hands to work the offending vertebra back into place, his deafness was instantly cured. It was then that Palmer realized just how important good nervous communication was to seemingly unrelated conditions.

Since then, chiropractic adjustments have been tested and used to treat a wide variety of other health issues. Studies have also been done to show which conditions are best helped by such treatments.

"Certain issues, such as sciatica, are well-known for resulting from the compression or irritation of nerves leading from the spine. Of course, these adjustments are also great for minimizing or eliminating pain in the lower back and neck. Some of the more surprising results come in the form of studies that show that chiropractic care helps normalize blood pressure. It is also good for athletic performance. Top athletes like Michael Phelps are known to receive chiropractic care," said Dr. Scott Isdale of Isdale Chiropractic.

The connection to athletic performance is likely the most exciting benefit for the majority of people. While chiropractic care won't turn a non-athlete into a sports star, it does provide general performance enhancements that anyone will enjoy. These include improvements in the immune system, increased energy levels, heightened agility, and more.

"Thanks to chiropractic's overall health benefits, there is no longer any need for people to feel that they must have a problem in order to seek such care. Instead, it is simply good maintenance for anyone who wants improvements in their general physical condition," Dr. Shawn Isdale shared.
