Why Yoga is the Perfect Companion to Chiropractic
By Genevieve Cunningham
Yoga is one of those practices that you either love or hate. You either love the stretch and the quiet and the patience required, or you can’t stand to hold any position or breath for that amount of time. And then there are those on the fence. There are those who want to like yoga, but they haven’t found the right kind or the motivation to push through the tough beginning phases.
Chiropractic care, with its natural medicine appeal and alternative health reputation, is much the same way. You’ve heard that it’s good for you, but you haven’t found the motivation to get up and go to the clinic. If this sounds like you, take a look at these reasons to add both of these heavily beneficial forms of health care into your life today.
The Benefits of Yoga
You may have heard of the benefits of yoga before, but they are definitely worth mentioning again. Some may include:
-
Increase in Flexibility - Yoga stretches the muscles more than many other kinds of exercise. You may notice a deeper flexibility as a result.
-
A Calm Mind - Many people find that the patience and perseverance required in yoga allows them to cultivate a more calm and centered mind.
-
Enhanced Immune System - Each yoga movement and series of movements is meant to bring about a certain change. Many sequences are thought to boost your natural immunities, leaving you feeling better than ever.
The Benefits of Chiropractic Care
You may be less familiar with some of the benefits of getting chiropractic care. Some positive side effects may include:
-
Reduction in Pain - As the spine is enhanced through proper care, many people feel less pain in various places around the body.
-
Increase in Flexibility - Less pain means you can move more freely without restriction, and this leads to a greater flexibility for your body as a whole.
-
Enhanced Immune System - The spine is linked to so many other parts of the body, and it is definitely indirectly linked to the immune system. Boost the health of the spine, and you’ll probably find a little less illness in your life.
Working Together
When these two natural health powerhouses are put together, the benefits are simply compounded. Each brings its own set of health enhancements, and instead of working against each other, the positive side effects work together to create even better health. The movement, the flexibility, the boost in immunities … all of these are getting double the love, so your body often shows double the improvement in wellness.
