Dealing with arthritis, joint pain, and body aches can make your day tough. Arthritis, joint pains, and body aches make even the simplest daily activities like homework, laundry, blow drying your hair, having a productive day at work, etc. more difficult. Thankfully, there’s a cool way to help ease this pain that doesn’t involve the usual “pop” or “crack” you might think of when you hear about chiropractic care. At Welcome to Wellness, we call ourselves “chiropractic without the crack,” and it’s all about understanding how your body’s nerves work to help you heal and feel better.

Your body has a special system of nerves that act like a team. Some nerves are like the players who get pumped up for a game, making your body ready for action. This is called the sympathetic nervous system. Then there are other nerves that are like the coach telling the players to take a break, relax, and heal up after the game. This is known as the parasympathetic nervous system. When pain or arthritis is present, it’s like the pumped-up players are constantly on the field, preventing the body from properly relaxing and healing.

“Chiropractic without the crack” is like having a smart coach who knows how to balance the game. It helps the “take a break” nerves get more playtime, which lets your body relax and start fixing the sore spots without any sudden moves. Additionally, eating the right foods can also be a big help. Imagine your body like a superhero – certain foods give it the power to heal itself and heal faster. Combining gentle chiropractic care that doesn’t make you go “ouch” with superhero foods, gives you a winning team. You tackle pain and help your body feel awesome again, even after a long day of work, school, sports, or hanging out with friends.
