See Our Bradenton Chiropractor at Lakewood Ranch Chiropractic During February, American Heart Month

February is American Heart Month, and there's never been a better time to come into Lakewood Ranch Chiropractic for a spinal adjustment. In addition to the numerous other health and wellness benefits an adjustment can bring you (including pain relief and improved flexibility), chiropractic adjustments can also provide a variety of surprising benefits to your cardiovascular system.

Heart Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments for the Surrounding Communities of Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, and Fruitville, FL

What many of our patients from Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, and Fruitville don't realize is just how interconnected the spine, central nerve system, and brain all are. Specifically, your heart and blood vessels connect to the nervous system through a series of millions of nerve connections. These connections are responsible for countless body functions, including regulation of your blood pressure and heart rate (both very important aspects of your cardiovascular health).

When you have a chiropractic adjustment, your spine is gently and manually manipulated into improved alignment. The results for your heart can be very beneficial. For instance, did you know that chiropractic adjustments can help to prevent or even treat heart disease in a number of ways? For instance, adjustments can help lower blood pressure and improve the nerve function within the heart itself. Specifically, several different studies have shown that both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels have been reduced immediately following a chiropractic adjustment appointment.

Adjustments can also help to regular heart rate, which is especially beneficial to those with a higher-than-average number of beats-per-minute. This, in turn, allows for healthy heart function and puts less stress on the entire cardiovascular system. Adjustments can be particularly effective in reducing heart rates in patients who are suffering from chronic neck or back pain, as the stress related to this pain can cause a rapid heart rate in the first place.

As a result of these heart-healthy benefits of chiropractic adjustments, those who have regular adjustments may be at a lower risk of suffering from a heart attack or other heart problems down the road.
