5 Exercise Tips for Chiropractic Patients To Speed Healing And Maintain Health

Chiropractic care is designed to alleviate pain and restore the body to its natural balance. For chiropractors, injury prevention is key for a healthy body. Good practices combined with solid exercise creates toned muscles that protect the body and spine from harm. While each patient receives exercise instructions for their specific condition, the following exercise tips for chiropractic patients apply to everyone. And once in a while it’s good to be reminded of them!

1. Do Take Time To Warm Up Before Exercising

• Before starting any exercises, it's important to warm up. A series of dynamic moves will boost your heart rate and heat up the muscles that you will be using during your work out.

• Select whole body movements such as leg lunges paired with arm motion or walk in place while raising and lowering your arms. Once you've warmed up, you can safely stretch without risk of injury.

2. Introduce Ergonomics Into Your Home And Work Space

• One of the most important exercise tips for chiropractic patients is to take steps to keep your body in alignment as you move through your day. In the workplace, check with an ergonomics consultant to ensure proper positioning, especially if you spend most of the day seated or doing repetitive tasks.

• A comfortable chair reduces muscle strain and prevents injury. Make sure that your feet sit firmly on the floor and that lumbar support is in place. At home, you should have a good mattress and supportive furniture.

3. Choose The Right Shoes

• Before you buy your next pair of shoes, check for stability, flexibility, and comfort. During your test drive, make sure that the shoes feel firmly in place as you move through your entire range of motion for a stable gait during wear.

• Footwear should be flexible enough to give easily at the base of the toe for a smooth gait, and there should be cushioning at all the right places with plenty of room for the toes to move. Shoes that properly fit your feet means that your walk will be more natural and healthy during exercise and in daily motion.

4. Sit And Stand With Posture In Mind

• Perhaps the biggest reason that these exercise tips for chiropractic patients are so important is that strong and flexible muscles will help you have good posture. Be mindful of the following as you move through your day.

• When sitting, your feet should be on the floor, your shoulders should be relaxed, and your forearms should remain parallel with the ground.

• If you will be standing for a time, make sure that you maintain posture by tucking your stomach muscles in.

• When standing for an especially long period of time, be sure to shift your weight from one foot to the other and from the heels to the toes and back again.

5. Passive Stretches For Large Muscles

• Finally, it is important to target large muscle groups with passive exercises. Use your weight to slowly stretch your hamstrings, your piriformis, and your entire back. Passive stretching is gentle and relieves stress points that cause back pain. These gentle exercises provide a great deal of relief and are easily adjusted to suit your current ability.

Your chiropractor will work with you to design an exercise program that is optimal for you. Be sure to follow through with the plan and include these tips in your regular work out to experience the joy of healing from chiropractic care.
Have a great week!

3 Key Ways Runners Can Benefit from Chiropractic Care

Running is one of the favorite forms of exercise for many. The reasons for its popularity are simple; it can be done almost anywhere, takes no special equipment, and burns lots of calories. Running also offers a great many health benefits such as weight control, decreased blood pressure and cholesterol, and relief from stress. ref="http://www.runnersworld.com/"

Everything with running is fabulous, right up until the time you hear a snap, crack, or pop. The downside of all the wonderful benefits is that running causes its share of injuries to the body.

The "http://oscanews.org/2012/10/31/why-runners-should-consider-chiropractic-care - Ohio State Chiropractic Association presents an alarming statistic that two-thirds of runners will be injured in some way. Tendonitis, shin splints, ankle sprains, hip pain, and knee strains are a few of the many injuries brought on or exacerbated by a regular running routine.

What is a runner to do?

It's important to take common sense precautions to not get injured in the first place. Purchasing high quality shoes and respecting the body's limits are two excellent choices.

Another great choice is committing to chiropractic care. Regular runners can reap many positive results from visiting a chiropractor.

Three big benefits chiropractic care offers for runners are the following:

1. Increased Range of Motion

Loose and relaxed joints allow for greater flexibility and movement, all of which benefit a runner's gait and time. A study published in the "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2682941/" Journal of Chiropractic Medicine - found evidence that chiropractic treatment regimen increased mobility in the hips over time.

While chiropractic care does not guarantee an individual will experience an increase in speed, unrestricted joints and better range of motion will definitely help a person move more freely and stand a better chance of avoiding running injuries.

2. Decreased Healing Time for Injuries

Unfortunately, runners frequently deal with injuries, some of which take weeks or months to heal. For dedicated runners, a serious injury is terrible news.

The first action for runners after they have been injured is to stop running so it can heal. Most runners do not want to risk losing the stamina that interrupting their routine brings on.

Chiropractors can work with runners who have injured themselves from the repetitive motion of running regularly. By using chiropractic adjustments, chiropractors can promote healing in the body as a whole. Runners love this because they want to get back to hoofing it as quickly as possible.

3. Minimize Instances of Becoming Injured

A spine out of alignment can cause other parts of the body to be weaker and more susceptible to injury. One part of the body compensating for another that is off kilter is one common way runners end up hurt.

Chiropractic treatment helps to keep the spine in alignment, which can have a ripple effect through the body. Regular adjustments can reduce the negative impact the jarring motion of running has on a person's body, and help avoid running-relating injuries on the front end.

Running is a popular exercise routine for many, and yields a multitude of positive results to a person's health and well-being. By taking proper steps to minimize the chance of injury, runners can enjoy the good points running brings to the table and steer clear of the bad.

Chiropractic care can be an effective part of making certain your body is in prime running condition and resistant to injury. If a person ends up dealing with an injury, chiropractic treatment may be able to boost healing time.

Ready! Set! Run!

RECOVER FASTER. Train harder!
Excel at sports. Kids and sports go together. From football, to ski training, to gymnastics, to biking we’re pushing our kids to excel at earlier ages. With more access to sports, there are also increased risks of injury. Chiropractic care from early on can help reduce the possibility of injury, and help a child recover more quickly when injury occurs.
No matter which sport he or she plays, no matter how young or old, just about every athlete will experience some sort of sports injury at some time in his or her life. Sometimes the competitive drive can push athletes to reach beyond the maximum output of their bodies. Often this type of output leads to various types of sports injuries, such as pulled muscles, torn ligaments, or broken limbs.

CHIROPRACTOR CARE CAN HELP…
Doctors of chiropractic are trained and licensed to treat the entire neuromusculoskeletal system and can provide advice on sports training, nutrition and injury prevention to young athletes. Chiropractic care can be very effective at treating a myriad of sports injuries. For many athletes, chiropractic offers a non-invasive, prescription-free path to restored physical ability.
