10 Ways to get the Most out of your Chiropractor
Okay Columbia, Who doesn’t love a great adjustment from their Chiropractor? But one of the big complaints is, “I have to keep coming back”. Follow these top 10 Tips for Better Posture and Better Spinal Health.
10. Choose the right shoes for You.
You will be less likely to be a victim to slips and falls with good tread. Ladies, choose flats with a great arch supports. We highly recommend to runners were a Great Orthotic like Foot levelers. They are a Game Changer.
9. Ditch the broken, worn out office chair.
Instead sit on an exercise ball for Balance and Flexibility. Start by using the ball and switch from ball to standing. 8-10 hours a day in a chair is Killing our Backs!
8. Stop self Adjusting!
While it may feel good in the moment, you are doing more harm than good. Chiropractor's only work on the Subluxated Joint that's the one that doesn't Move.
7. Turn off Your TV.
Family activities that move your body will keep you and your kids with healthier spines. Movement is more than just something you do to lose weight. It is essential to your joints, slows aging, builds better relationships, and so much more.
6. Want Abs.
A strong core is essential to stabilizing the spine, particularly the low back and will protect you from many injuries. The “core” muscles are basically all the muscles between your rib cage and pelvis and include both your abdominal and spinal muscles.
5. Yoga for Stretching
When done correctly, slowly and controlled, Yoga is one of the best activities for your whole body. Many injuries can be improved with deep stretching and strengthening poses.
4. Workout with a friend or trainer.
Having someone to spot you, coach you, and encourage you through workouts will decrease your chances of injury during exercise. Exercise, when done safely shouldn’t cause injuries, though it may reveal old ones.
3. Diet is very Important
Reducing your intake of grains, while increasing healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables has been shown to have positive effects on inflammation and pain.
2. Just Quit Smoking
Smoking dehydrates your intervertebral discs and leaves them brittle and vulnerable to injury. Kick that habit now, before you have permanent damage and you will feel better for it.
