Many people know that chiropractic care can help with back pain, but not everyone knows the numerous other health benefits associated with the practice. 

For men, chiropractic care prevents various underlying health conditions and contributes to overall wellbeing. 

From regulating your hormone levels to lowering the risk of life-threatening diseases, as a man, there are many benefits to gain from visiting a chiropractor. 

Here are some of the most significant benefits:

Lower your blood pressure

High blood pressure in men is a serious medical concern that can increase the risk of a heart attack, kidney failure, stroke and even death. Men typically have higher blood pressure and develop cardiovascular diseases earlier than women.

Chiropractic adjustments may be a viable option if you want to lower your blood pressure. The top vertebrae in the spine, known as the Atlas bone, have been linked to hypertension. 

One study found that those suffering from a misaligned Atlas vertebra and high blood pressure improved their health after just one chiropractic treatment.

Improve athletic performance

Many men enjoy taking part in sports, exercise and other physical activities. However, this lifestyle, although good for your overall health, can take its toll on your body. Thankfully, chiropractic care is an excellent way to treat painful side effects that go hand in hand with an active lifestyle. 

According to a leading sports physiologist, 90% of top-tier athletes in the world undergo regular chiropractic care to recover from workouts and heal quicker from injuries. Chiropractic care is also understood to improve balance, agility, and response time.

Balance testosterone levels 

Testosterone is the major sex hormone in men and plays a number of essential roles in bone density, fat distribution, muscle strength, sex drive, and the production of red blood cells and sperm.

The nervous system has an important role to play in regulating hormones. Chronic stress on your nervous system can alter the function of your hormone balance, including your testosterone levels. Undergoing chiropractic adjustments is a great way to address 

problems with the spine and ultimately help your nervous system function correctly. 

Improve your immune system 

Recent studies have shown that women have a better immune system against infections than men. A healthy immune system is important as it protects your body from harmful substances, germs and cell changes that could make you ill.

Research has found that chiropractic care can boost your immune system by an incredible 200%. This is because your immune system is directly related to the health of your spine. When your spine is damaged or misaligned, there is an interference between the two, causing painful symptoms and increasing your chances of injury or illness. 

Improve your posture 

Apart from making you appear more relaxed and confident, good posture has many great health benefits, including improving blood flow, keeping nerves and blood vessels healthy and supporting your muscles, ligaments and tendons. 

A chiropractor can treat your bad posture by gently adjusting your shoulders and spine. They will also be able to help you find the root of the problem and show you how to improve your posture by changing the way you sit and stand.
