Heart Health & Whole-Body Wellness
February is American Heart Month, a dedicated time to raise awareness about cardiovascular health and encourage actions that prevent heart disease, the leading cause of death in the US. Adopting healthier lifestyles through diet, exercise, and education.
Your heart doesnât work aloneâitâs guided by your nervous system. When the spine is under stress, communication between the brain and body can be disrupted, impacting how the heart and blood vessels function. Chiropractic care focuses on improving nervous system balance, which research suggests may help support healthier blood pressure levels as part of a holistic lifestyle approach.
Heart-Healthy Tips for Families & Parents:
⢠Prioritize daily movement (walking, stretching, play)
⢠Choose whole, colorful foods rich in fiber and healthy fats
⢠Support quality sleep and stress reduction
⢠Practice deep breathing to calm the nervous system
Herbal Support (Always Use with Guidance):
Herbs like hawthorn, garlic, and hibiscus are traditionally used to support cardiovascular health and circulation.
*Disclaimer: Herbal supplements are not a substitute for medical care and should always be discussed with your healthcare providerâespecially if you take medications or have a heart condition.*
How Chiropractic Fits In:
Chiropractic care supports spinal alignment and nervous system regulation, helping the body shift out of chronic stress (fight-or-flight) and into a more balanced state. A calmer nervous system can support healthy vascular tone and overall cardiovascular function.
Chiropractic care does not replace medical treatment for heart disease or high blood pressure. Always work with your primary care provider for diagnosis and management.
Your heart deserves supportâfrom the inside out.
