Chiropractic Adjustment Reduces 👇👇👇

Chiropractic Adjustment Reduces The Following 

  1. Osteoarthritis 
  2. Headaches
  3. Boosting the immune system

1.Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis pain happens when the degeneration of cartilage in the joints causes bone to rub against bone. Some chiropractic adjustments may help OA pain by reducing bone-on-bone contact, but research studying the benefits of chiropractic for OA remain limited.

A small 2021 study of people with spine or extremity OA did find evidence to suggest that chiropractic care appeared to help significantly reduce pain scores.

2. Headaches

People commonly consult chiropractors for help with headaches, including migraine.

While some evidence suggests that spinal manipulation can help some types of headache, more high-quality research is needed.

Trusted Source
 exploring the effects of spinal manipulation on migraine divided participants into three groups: spinal manipulation, sham spinal manipulation, and pharmacologic treatment. All groups reported a significant reduction in the number of migraine days after 17 weeks, but these effects lasted through the follow-up period for those who received either the real or the sham manipulation.

The researchers noted this was likely a placebo response. Still, spinal manipulation could be an option if other therapeutic treatments don’t help.

Trusted Source
 of 7 studies found that spinal manipulation appeared to provide small, superior short-term benefits for pain intensity, frequency, and disability in people with cervicogenic headache. But it didn’t have a significant long-term impact.

Trusted Source
 involved 199 children ages 7 to 14 with recurrent headaches. According to the results, spinal manipulation might lead to fewer headaches, but it may not reduce headache intensity.

3. Boosting the immune system

Something experts agree chiropractic can’t do? Boost your immune system.

In March 2020, the International Chiropractors Association (ICA) posted a report claiming that chiropractic adjustments can boost the immune system, implying that chiropractic care might help prevent COVID-19. (The report has since been removed.)

According to a critical review
Trusted Source
 of the report by 153 researchers involved in chiropractic research in 11 countries, the ICA didn’t provide valid clinical scientific evidence that chiropractic care impacts the immune system. The researchers also noted several red flags of pseudoscience in the report.

Nigerian Politics

 One of the most amazing things about Nigeria's politics is that there are no spoilers, you can never predict the plot. Sometimes we've seen a lot of shockers and many more are still in the wait in the build-up to the 2023 elections. The north, east, and west politics will take center stage again in 2023. Who will come out tops at the end?

7 Tips to Reduce Arthritis Pain

Crack Your Back Yourself

While Standing, Make a fist first with one hand around it at the base of your spin. Push up on the spine with your hands at a slight upward angle. Lean back, using the pressure of your hands to crack your back. Move your hands up your spine and do the same stretch at different levels.  Cracking your own back won't lead to any health issues if do it safely. Avoid cracking your back too often, forcing it into positions, or using too much pressure. Do stretches and exercises that promote a healthy spine and apply ice and heat to the affected area if needed.
