Choose Chiropractic and Yoga to Help Your Hips

By Sandy Schroeder

If you sit a lot all day every day, your hips may be telling you relief is needed now. When lower back pain and stiffness settles in, the hips may be tightening up in response.

Putting chiropractic and yoga together may be a simple way to become more active and flexible.

How Chiropractic Helps

The Joint Chiropractic clinic in your neighborhood focuses on health, wellness and pain relief with licensed chiropractors who are well equipped to help you. They help people of all ages find the best solutions every day.

When you come in, you will find out how a healthy spine can play out with a whole array of benefits in overall health. The spine makes everything else possible as it keeps you moving through your day. The central nervous system encased inside follows up with critical brain-to-body communication. When your spine is healthy everything else works better.

Achieving a healthy spine starts with gentle targeted spinal adjustments that may provide far-reaching pain relief and an overall sense of well-being. Many people say it is like turning a page and finding fresh energy, better sleep, clearer thinking, and improved digestion. Benefits are unique to each individual.

As you assess your benefits, you may choose to use 15-minute weekly adjustments to keep everything moving forward. Your chiropractor can help you shape fitness routines that fit your issues, like this downward dog yoga pose for hips that WellAndGood,com recommends. If you have not done yoga, stop by a studio and observe a class. An instructor can show you the pose.

Putting Fitness to Work

Downward dog flexibility - This basic yoga pose strengthens shoulders, stretches hamstrings and releases lower back tension, but there's more. If you cross one leg in front of the other, it becomes a super hip stretch too. You can add this crossover stretch to a Forward Fold yoga pose too. When you crisscross legs you stretch the front hip muscles and it feels great. Here's how it works.

  • Start with the downward dog pose head down, leaning forward onto hands and balancing the body on the feet with knees slightly bent
  • Then walk the right foot over to the left and cross the left over it to form an "X"
  • Gently push the left foot toward the floor
  • Hold for three breaths and then switch sides

When you are ready to get limber, stop by The Joint Chiropractic clinic near you. Clinics are open weekends and evenings and walk-ins are welcome. Affordable personal healthcare plans eliminate the hassle of insurance. See you there.
