Start Stretching for a Healthy Spine

As your local Newnan, GA chiropractor, we think chiropractic care is one of the best things you can do for your body. At Healthy Life Chiropractic, we are committed to more than the health of your spine – we want to help improve your health overall. One way to do this is by making stretching a part of your regular routine. When combined with chiropractic care, you’ve got a winning pair. Here are just a few reasons why stretching is good for the health of your spine and body.

Stability

One of the most important tasks as your chiropractor is to create and maintain stability for your body. Regular chiropractic care is a step in the right direction for stability, and stretching can increase the benefits. Stretching elongates and enhances muscle function. When you stretch regularly, you may mind that each muscle group functions better and keeps your body more balanced and stronger. If you are looking for another way to improve your health, start a stretching routine along with regular chiropractic adjustments to keep your treatment balanced. For stretch suggestions that will benefit your unique needs, just ask during your next adjustment.

Pain Relief

Perhaps one of the main reasons people first come to us at Healthy Life Chiropractic is to find pain relief. Part of chiropractic care includes removing restrictions from the vertebrae of the spine, which eases tension and relieves pain throughout the body. A great way to even further promote pain relief is by stretching. As you stretch the ligaments and muscles in your body, it can alleviate pent up stiffness and tension. Stretching is also a great way to target pain in the lower back, back of the legs, and other large muscle groups. When you combine chiropractic care and stretching, the benefits can be magnified, leaving you feeling great!

Movement

Although Georgia has reopened during this time of coronavirus, many of us feel into relatively sedentary lifestyles. We spend a lot of time sitting whether it’s in front of the TV, working at a desk, or looking down at your cell phone. Staying in these positions for long periods of time can cause an increase in immobility and stiffness, which chiropractic shows great success in treating. Stretching can help you work out that stiffness and will leave your body with greater flexibility and range of motion. If you are stuck sitting more than usual lately, add stretching in with your regular chiropractic adjustments to negative side effects of sitting and help your body maintain great health.

Patient Reviews

"Very pleased with the practice. The service is excellent and everyone seems to truly care about you as a person first. Most businesses see customers or money walking in, but these practitioners love what they do. It shows."

- Patty Uzar

"I've been with Healthy Life for many years. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The services offered are very beneficial to my wellness routine. I receive massages and adjustments regularly. They offer many packages and sales that makes it affordable for me. I have recently tried the hyperbaric chamber for both recovery and general health. This is has been really helpful since I exercise often and intensely. I have also noticed an improvement in my brain fog which comes from normal aging and day to day stress. Dr. Rob and Dr. Tina are very good chiropractors who make sure they are providing a complete wellness exam and service. I continue to maintain a healthy body and recover quickly from my day to day activities. Overall, I would recommend Healthy Life Chiropractic."

- Rachelle Prevost

"I absolutely love Healthy Life! The staff is wonderful and helpful! The doctors are amazing! I hurt my back a few months ago exercising, and nothing seemed to help! I went in for a routine visit, and explained. I was consistent with my adjustments, muscle stim and massage and within a few weeks, I am back to exercising without pain! I am a Flight Attendant, so closing overhead bins and pushing a heavy cart are necessary for my job, so I appreciate them keeping my healthy and not missing work! My foot levelers are a game changer! The best investment!

My update yesterday validated what my body told me! I am back to almost 100% You will love them!"

- Melissa Beach

"I am very grateful for the care I receive from the entire staff and doctors at HLC! They are very attentive to my specific health, well-being, and pain relief needs. I take advantage of the fact that I can go for chiropractic care, massage, therapy, supplements, pain relief, and more. It’s great to enter the practice and know that I will be treated like family."

- Jan Tardie

"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!"

- Erica Payne

"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!"

- Michael Chambers

"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."

- Cindy Chaisson

“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.”

–Vermillion Himes

"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!"
