How Your Exercise Routine Affects the Back

By Genevieve Cunningham

It’s no secret that exercise is one of the keys to good health. We’re told early and often that movement and activity are crucial. But why? We know it’s good, we know it’s necessary, we know it should be a part of our normal routine. But what, exactly, about exercise is so important? And how does it truly affect our bodies? To get a better understanding of the incredibly important nature of working out, take a look at the ins and outs of getting in some movement.

Exercise Loosens and Stretches

No one gets through life without some pain, and much of the pain that we experience comes about because of simple inactivity. When we avoid movement, our muscles get weak and tense. This leads to discomfort and a heightened risk of injury -- especially in the back and neck. Getting in some movement can help loosen and stretch the muscles, thus enhancing flexibility for good.

Exercise Provides Strength and Power

When we exercise, we strengthen our muscles in a big way. They become stronger, more efficient, and more capable. While this may not seem like a big deal (unless you’re a bodybuilder, right?!), strength and power keep us activity-ready and injury-free. Greater strength also makes movement easier, which means staying active becomes a more enjoyable part of everyday life.

Exercise Promotes Healthier Living

Maintaining a good exercise routine means living a healthier life in general. When we choose to make good habits, we’re choosing a healthier lifestyle, and this means we’re protecting ourselves now and in the future. The better your lifestyle, the easier it is to avoid pain, illness, and other negative consequences in life.

Need More? Try a Chiropractor

While exercise is a great way to protect the back (and body!), adding chiropractic care will only make your body that much stronger. Chiropractors may be able to remove restrictions from the vertebrae of the spine, thus eliminating pain and enhancing basic flexibility. It’s a great way to enhance the effects of exercise and it also brings about its own set of healthy benefits. If you really want to be healthy, regular exercise and regular trips to the chiropractor should be part of the plan.

Along with ample amounts of exercise, seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis can bring big benefits to the back and body. Chiropractors may be able to remove restrictions from the vertebrae of the spine, thus reducing pain and enhancing the body’s ability to keep moving. When combined with exercise, it’s the perfect way to stay healthy and strong for a lifetime. If you’d like to give it a try, check out The Joint Chiropractic. With walk-in visits and affordable pricing, getting care is easier than ever.
