Since February is National Heart Health Month, it’s the perfect time to discuss how Chiropractic care can significantly reduce the risk of experiencing Cardiovascular Disease.
For citizens of the United States, heart disease serves as the number one cause of death and is responsible for killing over 600,000 people each year, according to The Heart Foundation.
Also, someone suffers from the onset of a heart attack every 34 seconds, affecting over 720,000 individuals on an annual basis.
Chiropractic Care and Heart Disease
The concept of Chiropractic medicine focuses on providing holistic treatment that addresses the cause of any physical ailment, without the use of invasive devices or techniques.
When it comes to Chiropractic care and heart health, the type of holistic treatment we provide positively impacts the nerves that are connected to your central nervous system, which is also connected to your heart and the blood vessels that run throughout your body.
These nerves play a crucial role in controlling your heart rate, as well as your blood pressure. Our treatment methods help stimulate renal nerve activity and regulate your system, while also providing a tremendous amount of benefits to your heart.
