Huntington Beach Chiropractic would like to remind you that November is National Diabetes Month. We strongly encourage all of our patients and members of the local community to get tested and learn about this disease which affects nearly 26 million people with many more at risk. In fact, another 79 million adults are estimated to have pre-diabetes, a condition where blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes.

Diabetes is caused by high levels of glucose due to low insulin levels. It can lead to serious complications such as kidney failure, amputations, blindness, heart disease or stroke and is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. However, people with diabetes can take steps to lower their risk of complications.

Our chiropractor can help you make a wellness plan to prevent minimize the likelihood of pre-diabetes becoming full diabetes or work with you to develop a program to manage your diabetes and lessen its impact on your life.

Wellness Programs to Prevent and Manage Diabetes

Our Huntington Beach chiropractor recommends that the keys to success in preventing or managing diabetes are weight control, moderate exercise and proper nutrition. Even small steps can have a big impact on your ability to fight this debilitating disease. We offer a variety of services which can help. If you are currently experiencing back pain, neck pain or some other type of injury that might prevent you from participating in an exercise routine, we can develop a program of hands-on adjustments and massage therapy that will help restore your mobility and get you back on your feet. Our care also extends beyond pain management and injury recovery to include nutrition counseling and lifestyle advice.

What questions do you have about the possible effects of diabetes on you and your family? Ask one of the professional care providers in our office how we can help you reduce your risk or manage your symptoms, and let us help you “Get Healthy…Get Adjusted.”
