3 Ways Chiropractic Care Improves Eyesight

When you think of chiropractic care, you most likely think of spinal adjustments for back and neck pain relief.  What you may not know is that chiropractic care has amazing benefits for whole body health!  Chiropractic care allows the body to function smoothly without disruption or dysfunction.  Not only can this decrease back pain, neck pain, headaches, and a variety of other health problems, but it can also improve eyesight.  While a visit to an eye specialist is always a good idea for addressing eyesight concerns, you may also consider visiting a Rochester Hills chiropractor to not only improve eyesight, but also overall health and function of the entire body.

 

Restore Nerve Function

Dr. Thomas Madigan and Dr. Brendan Shanahan practice neurologically-based chiropractic care that seeks to ensure the central nervous system is working at optimum levels and is able to coordinate how the body works together.  The spine plays an important part in the health of the central nervous system.  When a vertebra is out of alignment, it can disrupt nerve communication throughout the body.  Because the optic nerve is directly connected to the central nervous system, any misalignments may affect nerve function and lead to vision problems.

 

Improve Blood Flow to the Optic Nerve

Not only can spinal misalignments disrupt nerve function, but they can also interrupt proper blood flow.  The optic nerve needs the necessary blood flow and oxygen for eye sight.  If blood flow is restricted in some way, it can cause blurry vision, depth perception issues, and other eyesight problems.  Gentle and precise chiropractic adjustments from Dr. Brendan Shanahan and Dr. Thomas Madigan focus on spinal health and removing misalignments to ensure that blood and oxygen get to the optic nerve to restore vision.   When the spine is in proper alignment nerve interference is reduced and proper blood flow is restored, bringing about improvements to the optic nerve and your eyesight.  You are sure to feel your best and also improve your eyesight with regular visits to a Rochester Hills chiropractor.

 

Reduce Pressure in the Eye

Some vision problems, such as glaucoma, are caused by too much pressure on the optic nerve.  If not addressed, pressure on the optic nerve can lead to permanent damage and vision problems.  High blood pressure is also a key component to increased pressure on the optic nerve.  But chiropractic care has shown to be a viable option for glaucoma care.  Case studies have shown that it can improve vision even after the onset of the disease.  Chiropractic care can also help restore blood flow to reduce high blood pressure that sometimes leads to vision problems.

 

There’s no doubt about it that chiropractic care has many health advantages for both eyesight and overall health.  If you are experiencing vision problems, consider chiropractic care with Dr. Brendan Shanahan and Dr. Thomas Madigan at Vitality Precision Chiropractic.  Call today to set up a consultation.
