Can Chiropractors Help with Weight Loss?

With the start of the New Year often comes a newfound drive to lose weight. There are a lot of diets, fads, and trends around weight loss and it can be hard to know where to start. Surprisingly enough, chiropractic may be the solution to help you accomplish your weight loss goals. Here’s what you need to know. 

Weight Loss Truths

It’s important to start with the facts – there’s no quick and easy way to lose weight. Any company claiming to do shouldn’t be trusted and at the end of the day, it takes routine changes that swap out unhealthy habits for healthy ones. One great habit to start to improve health and wellness is to get regular chiropractic adjustments. Many studies show there are many health benefits that chiropractic can bring to a person. While we can’t promise that chiropractic is an instant cure-all, there is evidence that shows chiropractic treatments and adjustments, when combined with other healthy lifestyle choices, and help a person accomplish weight loss goals. 

Chiropractic Adjustments Can Impact Weight

The main reason many people are unable to reach their weight loss goals is because they become fixated on the idea of doing one thing – go on a diet, go for a run, see a chiropractor – in order to lose weight. In the long run, they may not see the results they want and end up quitting altogether.

In order to lose weight and keep it off, it must be understood that living a well-rounded, healthy lifestyle is key. Chiropractic adjustments aim to treat the body naturally, meaning the goal is to provide immediate relief from issues like back pain but to help the body heal itself from the inside out, so it’s less likely to face other health issues like weight gain. 

How Chiropractic Can Help with Weight Loss

During a session, Dr. Brandon Bird will examine the spinal column for misalignments. Misalignments can interfere with the central nervous system and disrupt communication between the brain in the body. As a result, body function may begin to decline, including the metabolic system and the body’s fat-burning ability. When adjustments are performed, the spine is returned to proper alignment and that vital communication is restored.
