CAN A CHIROPRACTOR REALLY HELP ME TO LOSE WEIGHT?

There is no getting around the fact that, for most of us at least, losing weight is hard. It can seem that we only have to look at a slice of cake to put on weight, but when we try to shift the pounds, we need to put in plenty of exercise and watch every morsel we consume to see even a tiny difference on the scales. Nevertheless, weight loss is something that is extremely important. Obesity is a significant problem in the United States, and the condition has serious and potentially deadly consequences for our health. By losing weight you could avoid complex and debilitating health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and more, and instead enjoy a healthier and longer life.

Often people who are obese and desperate to lose weight explore many different ways of doing so, from dieting and exercising to the extremes of surgery. However, one weight loss solution that is often overlooked is visiting your chiropractor.

Chiropractic treatments may be able to supplement your weight loss goals by helping your body get rid of the weight faster under safe circumstances. There are chiropractors that specialize in aiding in weight loss not only with chiropractic manipulations, but by offering nutritional and exercise advice as well. These types of chiropractors are educated in nutrition science and should be able to work with you on creating a nutrition plan that is well-suited for your needs based on your metabolism and other factors. By approaching weight loss in this multi-pronged way, the patient is more likely to see better, longer lasting results. 

By getting regular chiropractic adjustments, your spine may be relieved of pressure that could be causing subluxations, or dysfunctions of the spine. With these subluxations removed, then exercise may become easier and your diet might start being more effective. Working out without any pain should enable longer, more intense workouts that have the ability to burn more calories, which should contribute to greater weight loss.

Chiropractic adjustments may in and of themselves give your muscles a tone up. Although it’s not a match for those dumbbells, think of the chiropractic manipulations as a supplement to your lifting much like your protein shake. Adjustments may help get rid of adipose tissue, which may lead to better muscle tone, making it harder for the body to put on excess weight. Adjustments may also be beneficial after you complete your workout by allowing your muscles to relax, which might help them get ready for your next workout session. During this time your chiropractor might be able to spot potential injuries, which may help fix certain ailments before they turn into a issue that might hinder your weight loss.
