The Benefits of Exercise and Chiropractic Care
As you spend more time at home, your exercise routine may have taken a backseat. But to get the most out of your chiropractic adjustments and maintain a healthy body, continuing to exercise is more important than ever. Here are the benefits of pairing exercise with chiropractic care.
We get it – social distancing has made taking care of our bodies harder than ever! Routines have been disrupted, healthy eating is harder with fewer trips to the grocery store, and your favorite workout classes have come to a screeching halt. Despite these challenges, it’s important to not let everything fall to the wayside.
BENEFITS OF EXERCISE
Whether you are missing your workouts at the gym or are using this time to start a new at-home exercise routine, you are probably aware of some of the benefits that come with regular exercise. Working out keeps our bodies in better overall condition, tightens and tones muscles, burns fat, and improves overall range of motion and flexibility. It can also decrease the risk of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and improve your mood. Regular exercise benefits also include weight loss, and as the body loses excess weight, health improves and pain in the joint reduces.
BENEFITS OF CHIROPRACTIC CARE
So the benefits of exercise are pretty well-known, but what about the benefits of chiropractic care? Chiropractic care can provide pain relief to the body in many ways. The chiropractors at Shields Chiropractic will help return your spine to proper alignment, which often reduces pain in the neck, back, joints, hips, and other locations in the body. Many of our patients report an increase in energy, fewer headaches, and a boost to the immune system (which we could all use right now!). Those who receive regular chiropractic adjustments enjoy an overall sense of well-being.
EXERCISE AND CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Because both exercise and chiropractic are maintenance routines, they do well when mixed together. When you maintain both routines, you get the best of both worlds. You’ll find yourself in less pain and may find your strength and stability increasing. With the boosted immune system that comes with chiropractic and the lowered risk of disease that comes with exercise, you can enjoy a healthier body long-term.
