You have most likely been seeing a lot of pink this month. With October being National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it’s hard to miss all the pink paraphernalia being displayed, promoted, and sold. Education about prevention and early detection is good, as well as helpful information for the diagnosed and survivors.

To participate in this worthy event, we’d like to offer information on how chiropractic care can support women’s heath, whether you are trying your best to prevent breast cancer or cope with it.

People normally don’t think of chiropractic in their plan to avoid or beat cancer, but it can truly play a significant role.
For those who want to live an anti-cancer lifestyle, regular chiropractic adjustments support the proper function of all your internal organs, boost your immune system, and ensure healthy nerve supply from the brain through the spinal column. When those things are working in harmony, it creates an environment in your body that is not favorable to the cell mutations that cause cancer.

For women battling the disease, studies have shown that chiropractic therapy can help relieve headaches and back and joint pain in women who have had breast cancer treatment. Chiropractic adjustments also support a suppressed immune system and correct subluxations so that the body can begin to heal.

For the survivors, chiropractic can assist recovery from surgery or other scarring procedures, and speed up the process of getting back into an active, healthy life. Chiropractic adjustments also help to prevent recurrence of the cancer, in the same ways that it helps prevent cancer in healthy women.

All of our lives have been touched by breast cancer. You undoubtedly know someone who has or had the life-threatening disease. Do them a considerable favor and recommend chiropractic care as a part of their health-seeking protocol. Dr. French would love to speak to anyone with breast cancer concerns and develop a personalized chiropractic care plan.
