With nearly 25 years in practice, Dr. Jean-Guy continues to be astounded by chiropractic’s remarkable results. “I often find myself reflecting on how I may not always fully convey the marvels of our work to our community. With this blog, I want to rectify that by sharing some insights with you,” he said.
The Importance of Spinal Correction
“Let’s start with a fascinating paper published in a medical journal back in 2019. This study highlighted the increase in cerebral blood flow following the correction of cervical lordosis,” said Dr. Jean-Guy. While the title might sound intimidating, the implications are remarkable.
At Rassel-Daigneault Holistic Health Center, we specialize in spinal correction and rehabilitation. Like your blood pressure, your spine has a normal and healthy state. Picture your spine from the front—it should be straight from top to bottom. From the side, your neck should resemble a gentle curve like a banana, with the same curvature mirrored in your mid and lower back.
In an ideal spine, the neck should maintain a specific angle of 42°. What the 2019 research discovered is truly groundbreaking: when we restore this natural curvature in the neck, blood flow to the brain increases. It’s a simple yet profound realization—by aligning the spine, we enhance blood circulation to the brain. And who wouldn’t want that?
Reap the Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Over the years, we’ve witnessed countless transformations in our patients as they undergo spinal correction. We see that they have more energy, less brain fog, and better sleep. Some people also experience changes in blood pressure and heart palpitations. While the exact mechanisms behind these changes may escape us, the evidence speaks for itself.
More Than Back & Neck Pain Relief
Many people automatically associate chiropractic care solely with treating headaches, back pain, or neck pain. Our care does a great job of that, but its impact extends much further.
By restoring spinal alignment, we’re not just alleviating symptoms—we’re optimizing the body’s function, which in turn can have ripple effects on various systems, including the cardiovascular and nervous systems”
Dr. Jean-Guy
And let’s not forget the broader implications for brain health. Given that serious conditions like dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s are on the rise, anything that promotes healthy brain function is invaluable. While chiropractic care doesn’t cure these conditions, it is vital in promoting overall wellness through lifestyle changes.
