If you’ve been struggling to lose weight, Dr. David Meyer and Dr. Nathan Cummings at Groskopp Chiropractic in Brillion, WI, offer natural assisted weight loss to help you achieve your goals and maximize your health.
How a Chiropractor Can Help with Weight Loss
If you think visiting a chiropractor is only beneficial for issues like neck and back pain, you’re not alone. Chiropractors and their abilities are often put into a box due to a lack of understanding of the services they provide.
Many people also aren’t aware of how their musculoskeletal health can impact their ability to lose weight. Below, Dr. Meyer, Dr. Cummings, and the team at Groskopp Chiropractic in Brillion, WI, explain this connection as well as how chiropractors provide naturally assisted weight loss.
Connection Between Musculoskeletal Health and Weight
Your bones and muscles are essential to keeping you upright and moving, but that’s not all. Your bones help protect your spinal cord, which controls many of your bodily functions.
When a bone is misaligned, it can impact the central nervous system and hormone regulation, which can cause a variety of issues. It can lead to pain and tension, which cause an increase in the production of cortisol.
Along with many other issues, high levels of cortisol have been linked to weight gain. Additionally, if any nerves are compressed, it can lead to mixed signals throughout the body, causing you to eat even when you’re not hungry.
Another issue to consider is simply that misalignment and muscular tension or pain make movement challenging. Many people avoid exercise to avoid excess pain, while others can’t perform exercises properly due to limited mobility.
Chiropractic Care and Weight Loss
The examples above are just a couple of the ways weight can be impacted by the musculoskeletal system. A chiropractor is an invaluable resource in this area, as they can perform techniques to:
- Restore proper alignment
- Reduce tension
- Stimulate healing in the soft tissues
- Restore mobility and range of motion
- Improve nerve function and blood circulation
Additionally, our chiropractors are certified nutritional counselors. While helping you achieve musculoskeletal health, they can provide nutrition and exercise guidance according to your needs and abilities to help you achieve your goals. They’ll monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results.
