How a Chiropractor Can Help With Your High Blood Pressure

high blood pressureHigh blood pressure is a very common problem, and it is a contributing factor in many deaths. According to the CDC, about 75 million Americans have high blood pressure, and only about 54% have their hypertension under control.

Hypertension is a serious health concern and it can lead to a number of different medical problems. A person with high blood pressure is at a greater risk for heart attack, stroke and it can also contribute to problems with kidney disease.

One of the main problems with high blood pressure is that it often comes with no symptoms or warning signs. A person could have high blood pressure for years and never know it. Whether you are hypertensive or pre-hypertensive, it is important to manage and monitor your blood pressure.

For the most part, doctors recommend medications to help lower the blood pressure in hypertensive patients. While these medications can be effective, many of them come with unpleasant or possibly harmful side effects. For some patients, chiropractic care may offer a good natural alternative for treating high blood pressure.

A chiropractor can perform very specific adjustments that could lower blood pressure. A 2007 study showed that misalignment to the atlas vertebra at the base of the skull can contribute to problems with high blood pressure, and that adjustments to the vertebra can significantly reduce blood pressure. Patients in the study experienced significantly lower blood pressure than patients that received a placebo treatment, and the effects of the adjustment last for the entire eight weeks of monitoring.

With this type of adjustment, patients can get relief from issues associated with high blood pressure. Not only is this type of adjustment effective, but it also provides long-lasting results. This can reduce the need for medications that may come with undesired side effects and for some patients, it may even allow them to stop taking blood pressure medication altogether.

This and other chiropractic adjustments can help to restore proper nervous system function and relieve issues with high blood pressure. Along with adjustments, a chiropractor can provide other forms of treatment that can be used to address issues with high blood pressure. Beyond the adjustments, your chiropractor can help you to develop a nutrition plan that can assist with blood pressure management and they can also provide you with practical lifestyle advice that can improve your health.

Chiropractic care is great for pain management, but it can also be used to treat a number of other conditions. When it comes to treating high blood pressure, chiropractic care can be effective, but it is recommended that you still consult with your physician. Even with the chiropractic care, you may still need other forms of treatment to manage your blood pressure.
