  1. St Paul chiropractors treatments help relieve the uncomfortable symptoms of chronic stress. In addition, regular chiropractic adjustments can soothe the nervous system, and lessen the flight or fight response most people experience when stressed.
    Posture is position of the body while standing, sitting or lying down. Good posture, also referred to as neutral spine, has many health benefits, including the avoidance of injury back pain. Chiropractic can help improve and maintain posture.

    Why is Posture Important
    Appearance benefits with good posture are obvious, but there are many less-obvious health benefits you should know. Good posture can:

    Maintain correct alignment of bones and joints
    Reduce stress on ligaments, minimizing risk of injury
    Prevent muscle strain, overuse and pain
    Conserve energy as muscles are used more efficiently
    Decrease abnormal joint wear
