Arrhythmia

What is Arrhythmia?

The medical community defines heart arrhythmia as a potentially fatal irregular heartbeat or rhythm. Arrhythmias (issues with heart rhythm) develop when there is a failure in the electrical impulses within the heart that coordinate how a person’s heart beats. The condition causes the heart to beat excessively quickly, too slowly, or irregularly. The most frequent type of heart arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation.

Arrhythmias such as racing, fluttering, or skipping heartbeat are common and largely insignificant in most people. Although those moments can be frightening, most people who have them have nothing wrong with their hearts. These types do not require treatment. Many Americans have more severe heart arrhythmias. Furthermore, other troublesome symptoms typically accompany these. Consciousness, breathing, unexpected loss of cardiac function, and shortness of breath are among the symptoms. 

Your Neck and Arrhythmia

According to research, those with more wear and tear on their necks had a higher likelihood of heart arrhythmias. According to the study, those with even minor amounts of cervical wear and tear were more likely to suffer from heart arrhythmias. Furthermore, the same study discovered that those who had surgical decompression or neck rehabilitation had lower risks of heart arrhythmia. Neck nerves, which are intimately linked to the portions of the heart that affect cardiac electrical, explain why neck issues are associated with heart arrhythmias.

Chiropractic care is far more invasive than medical care for arrhythmia. Furthermore, chiropractic therapy offers a minimally intrusive method of helping cardiac arrhythmia sufferers receive drug-free care to address the underlying problem. It is also, in most cases, much more affordable as well.  If you are seeking help with your arrhythmia, you have nothing to lose in going to a chiropractor.  Oftentimes, people start at our office if they are only experiencing mild problems and want to look at holistic options.  By seeing a chiropractor for this condition, you are avoiding medications that might not be necessary.

Non-Pharmaceutical Treatments for Heart Arrhythmias and Blood Pressure Issues

Chiropractic treatments enhance neck movement and alignment. This improves cardiac arrhythmias by increasing alignment. Some things that you might want to consider to improve your neck alignment at home are:

  • Neck Pillow – Neck pillows help to maintain a correct neck curvature. Furthermore, 30% of our lives are spent sleeping, and using a comfortable pillow encourages appropriate neck curvature.
  • Maintain a suitable workstation space that promotes excellent spinal alignment, movement, and function.
  • Better Sleep – Getting enough sleep has been linked to fewer incidences of cardiac arrhythmias. To improve sleep quality, turn out all lights and set the temperature to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

Chiropractic Adjustments Help Heart Palpitations

Chiropractic adjustments help heart palpitations.

Spinal adjustments aim to reduce pain by eliminating built-up stress from your nerves.

Because your spine is the major conduit for your central nervous system, modifications to this area of your body help you to relieve pressure around your arteries, lungs, and heart.

Chiropractic adjustments to your neck, or the cervical region of your spine, have been shown to help lower blood pressure and improve your heart’s health. When you can control your blood pressure, you can also manage your heart rate and, as a result, your heart palpitations.

Heart palpitations are helps with adjustments to the thoracic region of your spine. This relieves pressure on the nerves surrounding your heart.

How Chiropractic Care Can Benefit Your Heart

Millions of microscopic connections connect the heart and blood arteries to the central nervous system. Furthermore, the vagus nerve (which originates in the brain) and the autonomic nervous system are two important attachments (which have input into the entire body).

These neurons regulate heart rhythm and blood pressure, both of which are critical for heart health. Because chiropractic care has a good impact on these nerves, the advantages to the heart are enormous.

Heart Health Advantages

Chiropractic therapy helps those suffering from cardiovascular disease in various ways.  Let’s take a look at those ways now.

Lowers blood pressure – studies suggest that when chiropractors adjust the first vertebra, known as the Atlas, blood pressure drops significantly (1).

Reduces inflammatory blood indicators -The higher the risk of cardiovascular events with more inflammation events (2).

Improves cardiac nerve function – this is known as autonomic tone, and it affects the sex organs, bladder, kidneys, gastrointestinal, lungs and heart, and nearly every other area of the body (3).

Increases heart rate variability – the more your heart rate fluctuates, the longer you will live. Many people with significant heart problems have difficulties in this area.

Reduces chest pain – Referral or chiropractic care can save millions of hospital visits for chest pain. 

Other Chiropractic Health Advantages

Chiropractic care is beneficial to much more than simply your heart. Chiropractic therapy can help with any ailment since the nervous system affects every cell in the body. The nerves connect the brain to the spine and the rest of the body. 

Health issues occur when the bones of the spine are out of alignment.  Please do not consult your medical doctor or orthopedic surgeon to determine whether chiropractic is good for you. Chiropractors compete with those who prescribe medications and procedures. Most doctors will give you a biased opinion. Instead, ask the millions of people who visit chiropractors often. A series of adjustments appear to be a better option than spinal surgery or short-term solutions such as epidural injections. Don’t you think so?
