Local Chiropractor at Reed Chiropractic Clinic Encourages February Focus on Heart Health


SOLON, Ohio, Feb. 16, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those who are at heightened risk include African American men who live in the Southeastern United States, but heart disease affects men and women equally. One in four Americans will die of some form of heart disease, much of it is preventable.

Chiropractic care has significant benefit for overall health and wellness, according to Dr. Randy B. Reed of Reed Chiropractic Clinic in Solon, Ohio. That's an important message, he notes, particularly in February, which has been proclaimed National Heart Month.

There are a number of effective ways to decrease risks and substitute healthy habits, beginning in childhood, according to information from the American Heart Association. The medical community agrees that making simple lifestyle changes can have immediate benefits and lead to lasting health improvement. Chiropractic care has an effect on the body's cardiovascular system and can be of particular benefit to those with heart rhythm issues or hypertension.

Combined with other sensible habits, chiropractic treatments have been proven to have positive effects on blood pressure, chest pain, lung function, and the body's nervous system. Treatment by a qualified chiropractor also can decrease the "blood markers" of inflammation and improve overall heart rate variability.

Dr. Reed has been recognized for his "whole person approach" to wellness. He and his associate, Dr. Matthew J. Grant, encourage patients to eat right, exercise regularly, maintain a weight, control blood pressure and cholesterol, reduce blood sugar, and hold healthy attitudes. They note that their chiropractic practice is founded on a natural approach to overall well-being. They work with individual patients to establish personalized health routines that reduce the risk of heart disease, alleviate chronic pain, and are easy to follow.

Dr. Reed notes that February is a perfect time to focus on heart health. “Making the commitment to get healthy," he says, "is one way to take the message of National Heart Month to heart, and also give the gift of health to yourself and your loved ones." 

Reed Chiropractic Clinic has been helping area residents "accelerate and/or maintain" the journey to good health since 1986. During National Heart Month, the clinic welcomes inquiries from men and women with questions about the best ways to reduce risk and embrace natural methods of chronic pain control. This is the month to talk to your healthcare team about overall heart health, quit smoking, establish a regular exercise routine, resolve to eat healthily, and incorporate holistic care into your health regime.
