How to Get the Most from Chiropractic Care

By Sara Butler

Visiting the chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic is a great way to ensure you're making your health and wellness a priority. Regular visits to the chiropractor can help you to be proactive about your health, but that's not all you can do. In fact, if you want to get the most out of your chiropractic care, then the chiropractors at The Joint have a few suggestions for you!

Consistency is Key

The issues you may be having with your spine or other parts of your body didn't occur overnight and they won't heal overnight either. It's important to remember that healing is a process and your body needs time to heal. That's why it's important to be consistent with your chiropractic care. One single chiropractic adjustment won't erase years of damage, so be patient with your body and work the treatment plan you create with your chiropractor.

Proper Posture is a Must

Improper posture is one of the worst things you can do on a daily basis for your spine. If you sit at a desk on a computer for a good portion of your day, then it's important to support your body in a way that encourages proper posture. This means you need a good chair that offers support to your back and your arms, allows your feet to be flat on the floor, and keeps your knees bent to a 90-degree angle. Your computer monitor should also be at eye level so you don't have to look down. Make sure to take frequent breaks through the day too, at least once per hour.

Stay Hydrated

Water is essential to good health, including the health of your spine. That's why it's imperative to make sure you're drinking enough water each day. Have a refillable water bottle you keep with you at all times and remember to sip throughout the day. It's also a good idea to drink a glass of water when you get up in the morning since sleep often leaves you dehydrated.

Move Your Body!

Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your health and wellness. It helps to build strength and maintain flexibility, which then helps you to keep your spine healthy and mobile. If you are worried about what kind of exercise you can do, talk to the chiropractors at The Joint for some suggestions.

Your chiropractic care doesn't end when you leave the office, it's something you can continue in between. Talk to your chiropractor about ways to enhance your chiropractic care at home.
