When someone hears the words “chiropractor” or “chiropractic care” the first thing that often comes to mind is back pain or issues concerning the back, but it encompasses so much more than that. Dr. Barry Marks, a chiropractor in Orange, California, presents five other benefits that chiropractic care can offer: improved sleep, increased energy, better digestion, boosted immunity, and regular bowel movements.

Misalignments within the spinal column can disrupt messages from getting to the brain via the central nervous system. This can have adverse affects on the areas listed, as well as many others. Think of your body like a machine: when everything is aligned and balanced, it runs smoothly and correctly. When a misalignment occurs, it’s like throwing in a wrench that can affect part or all of your system.

The nervous system acts as the messenger between the many different organs and systems and the brain. A spinal misalignment can disrupt or alter the message being sent which can cause processes to occur to seldom or too often. This is why proper alignment is so very important.
