Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Here is the list of the most significant benefits of undergoing chiropractic treatment:
No surgeries or drugs
The techniques used for chiropractic care do not rely on any invasive procedures or pharmaceutical drugs, meaning your treatment will be natural, you won’t have side effects, and you’re recovery will be faster.
01
Helps control and lower blood pressure
A study showed that chiropractic treatment has the same positive effect on blood pressure as blood pressure medications. Due to many side effects of medications, including nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and anxiety, many doctors prefer chiropractic care to control and lower blood pressure over traditional pharmaceutical treatment.
02
Reduces inflammation
Inflammation is one of the most common reasons for pain, muscle tension, and joint health issues. Chiropractic treatment has been proven to be effective in reducing chronic inflammation and relieving different types of pain.
03
Boosts the immune system
To be able to fight off bacteria and viruses, the immune system should be strong. By realigning the spine, our chiropractor can free up restriction in the immune system, so that it can protect the body from intruders effectively. The results of numerous studies showed that people going to chiropractors have fewer colds than those who do not.
04
Improves digestion
The nerves running through the spine are also the nerves controlling the digestive system, stomach, and their functions. Chiropractic care helps to make them work properly, which eliminates any stomach issues and prevents the development of digestive diseases and disorders.

Our Services
We want to ensure that when you enter our doors you know exactly what to expect.
Chiropractor in Fort Collins, CO
A chiropractic adjustment can make you feel so much better. Your body does not want to be out of alignment, and that’s exactly what an adjustment can help address. It is also known as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation. The adjustment refers to the manipulation of the vertebrae that have abnormal movements and are not functioning properly. A chiropractic adjustment will assist in fixing these issues.
Cold Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is a treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue and help accelerate your healing process. Laser treatment can be used on people suffering from acute and chronic conditions in order to eliminate pain and swelling, increase functionality, and reduce spasms.
Corrective Exercises
Corrective exercises are the use of bodily movements and/or postures to restore desirable changes in diseased or injured tissues. The corrective exercises are movement strategies that minimize or eliminate compensation. Corrective exercises should precede more integrated exercises, because they can cue the patient’s motor system to respond in a more desirable way and assist in removing or improving biomechanical constraints.

Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person’s health and well-being. There are many types of massage therapy methods (also called modalities). People seek massage therapy for a variety of reasons; for example, to reduce stress and anxiety, to relax muscles, to rehabilitate injuries, to reduce pain and to promote overall health and wellness.
