10 Signs You Need to See a Chiropractor
1. You notice postural imbalances in your body
These asymmetries can show up as one shoulder being higher than the other or rotated hips. Chiropractors are trained to catch misalignments in the body and work to restore balance in the structure.
2. Your body feels like it is not running at its best
A less-than-optimally functioning nervous system can cause fatigue, aches, pain, headaches, etc. Most chiropractors aim to help remove nerve interference to the nervous system and, in turn, increase the body's function.
3. You sit often
Sitting can put a lot of abnormal stress on our bodies. A chiropractor can help unwind this tension, and some can provide exercises/stretches throughout the day. Dr. Durr, our Lewistown MT chiropractor, generally sends an at-home exercise plan with each patient after treatment.
4. The soles of your shoes wear out differently
One heel might be more worn than the other or at an angle. This is a tell-tell sign that something in the structure of your body is off.
5. You have a limited range of motion
If you have trouble bending or experience tightness while stretching, our Lewistown, Montana, chiropractor may be able to help. Sometimes this is due to a structural misalignment leading to tight muscles.
6. You are active
If you run a lot or want to maintain an active lifestyle, getting adjusted is critical to ensure your body is moving correctly. There are a lot of activities in Central Montana around Lewistown. We’re here to keep you feeling your best with heavy activity.
7. You have had physical trauma
Whether you got in a car crash or have played a sport, both micro and macro trauma adds up in the body. This trauma can lead to structural imbalances and degenerative conditions.
8. You want to live a more health-conscious life
Chiropractors are full of the knowledge of how to lead a healthy lifestyle. Most of them are holistically minded, meaning they recognize the body’s ability to heal and work to help the body express the innate potential within.
9. You experience tingling in an arm or leg
A lot of times, this can be attributed to a pinched nerve. A chiropractor is trained in finding the root cause and addressing it. It takes a proper evaluation, possibly including X-rays, to diagnose effectively so chiropractic treatment can be laser-focused to get you feeling better as soon as possible. Our Lewistown chiropractors spend plenty of time in our initial visit to properly and effectively treat your condition.
10. You have a lot of stress
Chiropractors can help stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation and reducing stress.
