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.
