Many people don’t even think of it, but the ability to move every part of your body without stiffness or pain is not something everyone can enjoy. If you are struggling with range of motion and flexibility, know that good mobility is possible, but it won’t happen without a little effort to keep your tendons, muscles, ligaments, and joints in shape. Here’s what you need to know about chiropractic and mobility.

Lack of Joint Mobility

Many of the patients we treat at Healthy Life Chiropractic come to us seeking low back pain relief and they often report sudden pain from simple tasks like picking something up or even just sneezing. This sort of lower back pain is common for everyone from 30-year-old patients to 80-year-old patients. What do patients with this big of an age gap have in common? Lack of joint mobility.

Maintain Adequate Mobility

Maintaining a routine has been especially challenging with a global pandemic, but it is an essential part of maintaining mobility. The routine you create should focus on developing balance, strength, and proper posture. Dr. Tina McKay and Dr. Rob Stevens can suggest specific exercises and stretches that help keep ligaments, muscles, and tendons strong and flexible. Stretching is very important when it comes to maintaining mobility, and regular chiropractic care can also help.

How Healthy Life Chiropractic Can Help

If your joints don’t move with ease, other body parts are forced to take on extra work. That puts unnecessary strain on those areas, which then causes inflammation and pain. The area that is not moving properly will then worsen as surrounding muscles tighten, which then causes tendons and ligaments to shorten and the joints to stick together.

Think about the Tin Man with his can of oil. He ended up stuck on the side of the road simply because he don’t move for a long time. The human body is a little bit like that. When it isn’t moved, exercised, and stretched, it stiffens up and eventually slight movements can cause severe pain.
