Can chiropractic help people who are not in pain?

Chiropractors know from experience that you don’t need to be in pain to benefit from chiropractic care. A paper published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research gathered nearly forty studies that documented objective changes in people who were described as asymptomatic, healthy, normal, or pain free.

Chiropractic adjustments for the correction of vertebral subluxation were associated with:

  • Increased range of motion

  • Improved muscle tone

  • Changes in heart rate variability

  • Measurable effects on immune markers and endocrine activity

  • Improved lung function and volume

  • Faster reaction time and changes in neurocognitive performance

Patients do not need to be in pain to be a candidate for spinal adjustments and care. Improved function can be objectively measured in asymptomatic individuals following chiropractic care. Here at The Chiropractic Clinic in Santa Rosa Beach, we only detect and correct vertebral subluxation. We are extremely specific and get amazing results. Experience better health and function today!
