Benefits of ACV

Apple cider vinegar is the juice of apples and a little sugar combined and allowed to begin fermentation. Before it becomes wine, it is arrested at the vinegar stage. People use it in cooking, but what does it have to do with chiropractic care? A lot of chiropractors are recommending apple cider vinegar, or ACV, because of its many health benefits and how those benefits relate to managing pain.

A Tablespoon a Day Keeps Inflammation Away

ACV is recommended by chiropractors because it reduces inflammation related to arthritis. Less arthritis pain means greater mobility. Greater mobility leads to greater success of chiropractic treatments. For this reason alone, chiropractors suggest that patients consume between one and two tablespoons a day. If you can’t take apple cider vinegar straight from the bottle, consider solid tablet supplements or gummies. If you are trying to avoid extra sugar in your diet, skip the gummies and go with tablet supplements.

It May Help Control Blood Sugar

Diabetes negatively impacts the nervous system. Controlling blood sugar reduces some of the neuropathy that comes with diabetes. If you can take an apple cider vinegar supplement or just straight liquid ACV from the bottle thirty minutes prior to eating, you may find that you have lower blood sugars during and after a meal. The lower blood sugar doesn’t have the pins and needles feeling in the limbs that high blood sugar does.

It Helps With Leg Cramps

It may not be the nerves in your back giving you leg cramps. If you are taking ACV every day, the leg cramps and pain you were having may disappear. When that happens, you don’t need spinal adjustments to your lower back and pelvis unless something else is causing problems. Chiropractors like to rule out anything that can be cured naturally and without a ton of treatment, so if ACV works, then there’s nothing else the chiropractor needs to do. If the ACV isn’t working, then the chiropractor knows that adjustments should continue.
