Can Supplements Help You Get More Out of Chiropractic Care?

If you're coming to Simply Well Chiropractic for care, chances are you're looking for long-term relief and lasting wellness, not just a quick fix. While chiropractic adjustments are a powerful foundation, sometimes your body needs a little extra support to truly heal and thrive.

That’s where supplements come in!

In this post, we’re breaking down how certain natural supplements can complement chiropractic care, speed up recovery, and support your nervous system. Whether you’re dealing with inflammation, stress, or just trying to feel your best, these nutrients might be the missing piece.

Why Supplements Matter, Especially With Chiropractic

Your body has an amazing ability to heal, but it needs the right building blocks. Chiropractic care works by restoring communication between your brain and body and reducing interference in your nervous system. But if your body is depleted, inflamed, or under stress, it may not respond as quickly or as fully.

Adding targeted nutritional support can help:

• Improve muscle recovery and reduce soreness

• Support joint health and flexibility

• Boost immune and nervous system function

• Enhance your body's response to adjustments

We want every adjustment to work as effectively as possible, and proper nutrition plays a major role in that.

6 Supplements That Pair Well With Chiropractic Care

Here are some of our favorite supplements we often discuss with patients:

1. Magnesium

Great for: muscle relaxation, sleep, and nerve function

Magnesium helps ease muscle tension and supports a calm nervous system. It's especially helpful if you tend to feel tight, anxious, or have trouble sleeping ,all of which can interfere with healing.

2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Great for: inflammation, joint health, and brain support

Omega-3s (found in fish oil) have strong anti-inflammatory effects and support cognitive health. If you’re struggling with chronic inflammation or joint stiffness, this is one we often recommend.

3. Vitamin D

Great for: bone health, immunity, and mood

Living in Michigan, many of us are low in vitamin D, especially in the winter months. It supports strong bones and a balanced immune response, making it a great foundation supplement for chiropractic patients.

4. Electrolytes

Great for: hydration, nerve signaling, and energy

Chiropractic works with your nervous system — and your nerves need electrolytes (like sodium, potassium, and magnesium) to fire properly. If you're dehydrated or depleted, your body may not hold adjustments as well. We often recommend LMNT or similar blends.

5. Probiotics

Great for: gut health, immunity, and inflammation

There’s a powerful link between gut health and the immune system. A healthy gut also reduces inflammation, which can help your body respond better to chiropractic care and heal more efficiently.

6. Turmeric (Curcumin)

Great for: inflammation and joint support

Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory that can ease joint discomfort and support healing, especially in chronic pain cases.
