Stop Taking Your Mobility for Granted!

By Donna Stark 

There are a lot of things we take for granted in life and we usually don't realize how much of a blessing those things are until they are no longer around. Take your mobility for example. Whether it's the act of typing on a keyboard, walking your child to school, or brushing your teeth, every action you make during the day requires some form of movement, and that's why you need to do everything you can to protect it! Here are three simple things your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic recommend to keep your body healthy and in motion. 

Stretches

Do you remember the level of flexibility you had when you were younger? Do you wish you could join the game of Twister with your children ... and actually get past the first round? If so, you need to stretch! Stretching is a key element in your overall health and wellness. It eases tension, elongates your muscles, and improves the range of motion in the joints. If you don't stretch your body, the risk of joint pain, strains, and muscle damage may increase significantly.

Physical Activity

Have you ever been told that if you want to stay active, you need to stay active? If so, what have you done with that message? Have you incorporated more physical activity into your days? Daily exercise is critical if you want to maintain the mobility you have or find the mobility you have lost. And fortunately for most of us, that doesn't mean you need to spend hours working out. Just 30 minutes a day is enough to promote optimal bone, muscle, and joint health. 

Chiropractic Care

There are a lot of reasons why your mobility may be decreasing and fortunately, chiropractic care can help with many of them! Your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic will perform precise adjustments that can alleviate pain, correct joint dysfunction, and ease the stress that is plaguing your body. On top of that, routine chiropractic care can aid in weight loss, restore optimal function to the nervous system, and improve your health in so many other areas that you won't be able to contain yourself anymore. You'll be jumping at the chance to move!
