Let Chiropractic Help Break the Sitting Logjam
By Sandy Schroeder
Many of us were sitting a lot before the pandemic, but now it is even worse. As gym visits, yoga classes or hikes drop away and hours at home multiply, most of us are sitting even more.
How Chiropractic Can Help
Chiropractic may help you break out of the sitting mode and reactivate life. Licensed chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic clinic in your neighborhood are ready to help with pain, health and wellness solutions.
When you talk with them, you will find out how spinal health may help you get a grip on your overall health. The spine keeps us mobile every day and the central nervous system inside supplies our brain-to-body network of communication.
Gentle targeted spinal adjustments may ease aches and pain and push the button for better health with more energy, clearer thinking and sounder sleep. As you evaluate the benefits, you may want to use weekly 15-minute spinal adjustments to stay active.
Your chiropractor can be your health and wellness coach as you rally against the tendency to sit.
EasyHealthOptions.com says physical activity levels have dropped by 32 percent in the pandemic. With that slowdown comes added pounds and increased anxiety. Turning everything around could start with some different approaches.
Don't just sit on the couch - When you are not moving around, simply take a nap. You will feel better and probably consume fewer chips or cookies.
Skip some of your favorite programs - Spend the time doing household tasks or just walking around when you are on the phone. One activity might lead to more as you polish off the laundry, play tag with your kids, or re-pot a few plants.
Make small manageable changes - Try getting up an hour earlier every morning to do stretches or walk around the block. Or leave time in the evening for talking, listening to music, or reading before bedtime.
Don't stay up late to watch TV - Use the evening to work on puzzles, crafts, or sit in a circle and tell stories. Or maybe you want to break out the cards or board games. Then wind down with warm baths or healthy snacks and go to bed earlier.
Create a family bulletin board - Provide post-its for everybody to leave thoughts, notes, complaints, doodles or jokes.
Whatever you do to change the flow to feel better will help. When you are ready to get started, stop by The Joint Chiropractic clinic near you to find out more about their affordable healthcare plans. Walk-ins are welcome.
