Montero Chiropractic Clinic

See how Montero Chiropractic Clinic can help you with arthritis pain

One out of five U.S. adults will face an arthritis diagnosis at some point in their life. And although most people think of it as a condition that only affects older people, almost two-thirds are actually younger than 65. This makes addressing this issue critical, and one possible effective option to consider is chiropractic care. Montero Chiropractic Clinic has helped many folks in Yuma, AZ, get relief from arthritis pain and might be able to help you, too.
Chiropractic may be Great for Arthritis
Arthritis is characterized by pain, stiffness, and swelling in and around the joints. Of course, this generally limits your range of motion, and you may find it more difficult to do the things you once did with relative ease. However, after just 12 weeks of chiropractic adjustments, some patients have experienced major improvements in their range of motion, balance, and speed. Chiropractic has also been shown to possibly reduce inflammation. Therefore, this particular treatment remedy helps arthritis sufferers in many different ways.
Chiropractic may help with arthritis, making it a great way to ease the suffering both on an individual basis and for the nation as a whole.

Chiropractic Care and Asthma Relief

Approximately 1 in 12 adults are diagnosed with asthma, and that rate is even higher for children as 1 in 10 are reported as having this scary and sometimes even deadly breathing condition. We have many Yuma, AZ parents bring their children into our office to see Montero Chiropractic Clinic for asthma relief, and we've had success in relieving the symptoms.

While an asthma attack is definitely a good reason to visit the emergency room, regular chiropractic care may often improve asthma symptoms and severity, potentially making the last-minute hospital trips a thing of the past.

When combined with a medical management program, chiropractic care has been found to reduce asthma severity in as little as just three months of treatment...especially for children with this chronic condition. This means possible less reliance on an inhaler and more enjoyment while participating in activities that you enjoy. It also means possible fewer high-speed trips to the ER in the hopes that you'll get there "fast enough," which is a bonus in anyone's book.

If you or your child suffers from asthma symptoms, visit us in Yuma, AZ to see if Montero Chiropractic Clinic can help. Our office number is (928) 782-2233.

Chiropractic Can Help Reduce Hypertension

​So many people think that chiropractic is good only for back and neck pain. You might be surprised to learn that Montero Chiropractic Clinic, your Yuma, AZ chiropractor, may also help you with other health problems, including high blood pressure.

Many people suffer from hypertension. Many different factors may raise your blood pressure, from genetics to excessive sodium intake to stress. Well, one way to help lower this potentially life-threatening condition may be through regular chiropractic adjustments.

Research confirms that chiropractic care may have the ability to lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This is important since both numbers can ultimately affect your quality of life if they wander outside of the safe zone, ultimately putting you at risk of heart attack, stroke, and other life-changing or sometimes life-ending conditions.

In fact, a 2007 study found that chiropractic adjustments may be as effective as, "not one, but two blood-pressure medications given in combination." This landmark study was even reported on WebMD!

In some cases, chiropractic may be just enough to lower the amounts of your blood pressure medication, if not eliminate its need entirely. Of course, diet, exercise, and stress relief can certainly help with blood pressure issues as well, but when you combine these with regular chiropractic care, you may increase your chances of healthier numbers that much more!

If you're in Yuma, AZ and would like to improve your health, give Montero Chiropractic Clinic a call today at (928) 782-2233 for an appointment.

How Chiropractic Can Help Migraine Headaches

​When you're stricken with constant and reoccurring migraines, it can be difficult if not impossible to live a normal and productive life. And while it may seem as if your almost debilitating headaches are never going to stop, recent research shows that chiropractic may be the first step to a pain-free life. We see quite a few headache sufferers in our Yuma, AZ chiropractic practice, and Montero Chiropractic Clinic has been able to help many of our neighbors get relief.

Chiropractic and Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is reported as "the most widespread disabling neurological condition of young adults around the world." In fact, approximately 200 new of MS are diagnosed weekly in the U.S. alone. Although there is no cure for this condition that is characterized by muscle weakness and spasms, balance issues, fatigue, and vision problems, Montero Chiropractic Clinic, your Yuma, AZ chiropractor might be able to help.
Chiropractic May be Beneficial for Multiple SclerosisBy treating MS patients' subluxations with chiropractic adjustments, especially those focused on the upper cervical area, research has shown that the symptoms may often improve...sometimes significantly. The best part is that this form of treatment doesn't rely on trying to find a medication that works, which is a bonus because there are only currently 12 FDA approved medications for MS at this time.
Ultimately, by treating the underlying spinal dysfunction, this results in a higher quality of life for the person afflicted with this condition.
If you're looking for chiropractic care in Yuma, AZ, Montero Chiropractic Clinic might be able to help you get natural relief from your MS symptoms. Give our office a call today at (928) 782-2233 to learn more. You can learn more about the benefits of chiropractic care here.

How Chiropractic Helps with Scoliosis

Scoliosis involves having an abnormal "C" or "S" curvature of the spine (sometimes noticeable and sometimes not), and 1 out of every 100 people in Yuma, AZ are diagnosed with the problem.
While treatment often involves wearing some type of brace, especially in more advanced cases or stages of scoliosis, chiropractic may be another effective option. And its benefits may tend to be long-term.

Studies show that engaging in regular chiropractic offers patients with scoliosis benefits may not only immediately after treatment, but possibly for up to two years post-treatment or more. These benefits include possible less curvature, reduced pain, and lower levels of disability related to the curvature of the spine. Add these together and this makes chiropractic a possible treatment remedy both short and long-term.

Although no one really knows the cause of scoliosis, chiropractic may be part of the solution. If you live near Yuma, AZ, give Montero Chiropractic Clinic a call today at (928) 782-2233 for an appointment.

Chiropractic Helps Relieve Stress

When you experience high levels of stress, your muscles will tense which is why you may feel more pain in your back and neck area during stressful events. This tensing of the muscles can create stresses on your spine, causing it to become misaligned. These are commonly referred to as subluxations and they have the ability to make the stress feel even worse because of the increased pain and your body's inability to heal due to the inflammation that excessive amounts of stress generally bring.
We see all kinds of types and ages of patients in our Yuma, AZ chiropractic office, and Montero Chiropractic Clinic sees the effects of stress on people. We also see how chiropractic care can help!
Chiropractic May Help Reduce StressMost people don't know that a chiropractic adjustment may do much more than correct problems in your spine. Chiropractic may have measurable effects on your central nervous system and brain, according to a 2011 study.
When you receive a chiropractic adjustment, your body may respond positively as realigning your spine helps open the channels of communication between your brain and other bodily systems, allowing it to properly heal all on its own. Essentially, this means possibly less pain and less stress, and improved function of every system in your body.
