Whenever an outbreak of dangerously infectious disease occurs, people automatically become concerned. Of equal seriousness is the onslaught of obesity that affects almost two thirds of the adult population. Shedding those unhealthy pounds takes a concerted effort, and a Redondo Beach chiropractor assists people determined to achieve their goals.

The chiropractic pathway to better health is founded on an approach that can increase overall well-being through better alignment of the vertebra housing the primary network of nerves. It has often been described as holistic, and emphasizes the importance of both nerves and the spine to the normal operation of all related physical organs.

A variety of issues, including poor nutrition and lack of exercise related to lifestyle, play an important role in producing pain related to the spinal column. Gentle manipulation of the associated bones can help temporarily reduce pressure. The resulting reduction of inflammation eases pain, increases organ efficiency, and improves nerve function.

As many overweight individuals are aware, long-term obesity increases problems in hip, back, and knee joints. It can even produce long-term or permanent damage unless corrected through moderate but consistent exercise, which becomes much easier without pain. While key to consistent and lasting weight loss, maintaining that effort can be difficult.

Although chiropractors do not usually focus on creating specific diet plans, they do analyze individual lifestyles in relation to personal exercise habits, smoking, and overall nutritional intake and need. They provide assistance in reaching long-term weight goals, and provide adjustments that help reduce any associated discomfort.

In spite of advertising claims to the contrary, there is no pill or quick fix for obesity. Those who attack the problem by eating a healthier diet and getting an appropriate amount of exercise enjoy the highest rates of success. When combined with chiropractic principles, weight loss efforts can be a much more effective process.
