It's Good To Be On The Go!

With back to school in full effect, life seems busier than ever! Truth be told, most of us live busy lifestyles. Unfortunately, a lot of this business involves sitting down at a desk for extended periods of time. This can lead to tightness and chronic joint pain that will eventually keep you from doing the activities you love.

The key element of being able to do the things you love is mobility, and it is also a great way to stay healthy. Here are a few tips to improve your range of motion.

What is range of motion?

You’ve heard us use the term “range of motion” before, but do you really know what it means? It is the mobility of the joints in the body, and is measured in degrees of a circle. If you maintain a healthy lifestyle and are without injury, your joints should maintain a normal range of motion, which will enable you to move freely and do the activities you love. If you have suffered from an injury, are obese, practice poor posture, live a sedentary lifestyle, or are simply aging, you may find your flexibility and range of motion are impaired.

Get moving!

Most of our patients sought out our help due to neck, back, and joint pain. With regular chiropractic care, you can maintain your health and normal range of motion. The more you move around, the better off your nervous system and spinal health will be.

Maintain your range of motion

Stretch! Stretching is great for the mind and body. It can improve your range of motion, allowing for better movement and reducing the likelihood of injury and pain. There are both active and passive stretches to improve your range of motion and they both work on strengthening your muscles and joints. Just ask during your next adjustment which stretches will best suit your needs!

Get Adjusted! Regular chiropractic care can benefit your entire body, and it keeps your joints and limbs flexible. Not only will chiropractic help with chronic ailments, but it can help restore your range of motion.

As busy as your life is, it is important that you have a healthy body that can keep up. To learn more about how chiropractic can help, click here to contact us.

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

“The online store is wonderful. It is very convenient for those busy and always on the go. I love all the purchase options. From supplements to oils and even honey can be purchased from your computer or smart phone. I look forward to a search option becoming available as there are so many products offered.”

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"

"I have been coming to Healthy Life Chiropractic for over a year now. The treatments I receive give me such a relief of stress. The personnel is a big part of my relief.
