Magnesium Supplementation: Why It Matters for Your Health

Did you know that magnesium plays a role in over 300 vital biochemical reactions in your body? From supporting nerve and muscle function to improving sleep and reducing inflammation, this essential mineral is a powerhouse for overall health. At Everybody’s Chiropractic Center in Upper Darby, PA, we often recommend magnesium supplementation as part of a whole-body wellness approach, especially for those experiencing muscle tension, nerve-related pain, or stress.

We proudly serve the communities of Havertown, Drexel Hill, and surrounding areas, providing holistic care through chiropractic services, nutritional advice, and advanced therapies to support your body’s natural healing process.

What Are the Benefits of Magnesium Supplementation?

If you’re dealing with muscle cramps, tension, fatigue, or trouble sleeping, a magnesium deficiency could be contributing to your symptoms. Here are some of the ways magnesium supports your body:

  • Muscle Relaxation: Helps reduce cramps, spasms, and general tightness in the muscles.
  • Nerve Health: Supports proper nerve signal transmission, reducing tingling, numbness, and discomfort.
  • Stress Reduction: Helps calm the nervous system and may reduce anxiety and irritability.
  • Bone Strength: Works alongside calcium and vitamin D to maintain strong, healthy bones.
  • Improved Sleep: Magnesium promotes deeper, more restful sleep by regulating neurotransmitters.

We often find that patients undergoing chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, or SoftWave therapy recover faster and respond better to treatment when their nutritional foundations—like magnesium—are supported.

Signs You Might Have a Magnesium Deficiency

Many people are unknowingly low in magnesium. Because it’s involved in so many bodily functions, a deficiency can show up in different ways, including:

  • Muscle cramps or twitches
  • Fatigue or weakness
  • Trouble sleeping or feeling restless
  • Chronic headaches or migraines
  • High stress levels or anxiety
  • Numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or legs

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it may be time to evaluate your magnesium intake. We can help you identify signs of deficiency and recommend the best forms and dosages for your needs.

Which Type of Magnesium Supplement Is Best?

Not all magnesium supplements are created equal. Some are better for muscle support, while others work best for sleep, digestion, or brain health. Common forms include:

  • Magnesium Glycinate: Great for calming the nervous system and improving sleep.
  • Magnesium Citrate: Often used to support digestion and relieve constipation.
  • Magnesium Malate: May help reduce fatigue and support muscle function.
  • Magnesium Threonate: Known for cognitive and brain health benefits.

Our team can guide you in selecting the right magnesium supplement, considering your health goals, current conditions, and any other treatments you’re receiving.

Can Magnesium Help with Chiropractic Recovery?

Absolutely. Magnesium plays a key role in muscle and nerve function, making it especially helpful for patients recovering from:

  • Chronic muscle tension or stiffness
  • Pain between the shoulder blades
  • Neck and low back pain
  • Numbness or tingling in arms, legs, hands, or feet

When combined with our hands-on care, Class IV laser therapy, or shockwave/SoftWave therapy, magnesium can enhance your recovery and support long-term results.
