Exercise and Chiropractic

Chiropractors can help patients overcome one of the primary obstacles to exercise and activity: PAIN. When people are in pain they’re far less likely to begin or stay with a program of activity even if doing so might be beneficial in the long run.  By combining Chiropractic care with exercise, Chiropractors assist their patients’  allignment and fluidity of movement, thereby facilitating  optimal function as they progress  in their workouts. Frequently, without proper allignment and training, people will engage in the wrong kind of exercise or do too vigorous a workout program in the hopes of improving their health or increasing the immunity benefits. Yet, heavy, long-term incorrect exercise could actually decrease the amount of white blood cells circulating and increase the presence of stress-related hormones.  Getting a Chiropractic check-up allignment prior to starting a new exercise program is highly recommended to determine and  facilitate optimal function.

Benefits of exercise: Flushes bacteria out of our lungs, decreasing the chance of a cold, flu or other airborne illness. The temporary rise in body temperature prevents bacterial growth. When exercise is not overdone it slows down the release of stress-related hormones and boosts  endorphins and the immune system.
