  • Trying to trim your waistline this spring?
    Working with your chiropractor could help. A new
    study demonstrates that chiropractors trained in
    nutrition and exercise therapies can support
    patients in achieving their weight loss goals.
    The study outlined how a chiropractic weight-loss
    program helped patients lose an average of 15
    pounds over the course of 13 weeks.
  • Although chiropractor singapore are typically
    thought of as back pain specialists, theyre also
    interested in the overall wellness and health of
    your body. Losing weight wont just reduce back
    pain and other musculoskeletal symptoms, it will
    slash your risk of a number of medical conditions
    like diabetes and high blood pressure. Thats why
    many chiropractors now incorporate weight loss,
    nutrition, and exercise counseling into their
    treatments.

  • A retrospective study published in the journal
    Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice
    examined the results of a weight-loss program
    facilitated by chiropractors. At the start of
    program, 30 patients with BMI levels in the obese
    or overweight range enrolled in the program. Each
    participant was given specific exercise
    guidelines and caloric restrictions based on
    their individual characteristics. Participants
    logged their daily activity and caloric levels,
    and were given informational pamphlets on weight
    loss. Once per a week, the participants reviewed
    their exercise and diet logs with a chiropractor
    who provided them with counseling, advice, and
    spinal manipulation.

  • The average mean weight at the start of the study
    was 190.46 pounds. Of the 16 patients who
    completed the program, the ending average weight
    was 174.94 pounds, or a difference in 15.52
    pounds. The patients also had an average decrease
    in their BMIs of 2.44 kg/m2. Both BMI and
    weight-reduction levels are considered
    statistically significant.
  • The researchers emphasized that their study did
    not assess the effectiveness of weight loss due
    to chiropractic adjustments alone. Instead, their
    study evaluated the whole program of chiropractic
    care which included exercise, nutrition, and
    individualized counseling.

5
  • It may be that the chiropractors implementing
    this 13-week program spent more time (when
    compared to general medical practitioners) with
    their patients and possessed unique
    qualifications in exercise and nutritional
    counseling, which may have influenced the
    outcomes described, the authors wrote. The
    findings show that chiropractors could have a
    meaningful impact on patient weight loss goals.
