How Your Chiropractor Aims to Make You Feel Great & Look Even Better
Staying fit and staying away from injuries can be an ongoing challenge for most of us. We want to tone muscles and see results, but we really need a custom formula to do just that.
Customize Your Exercise
If you are still looking for that formula, and you really need it to kick in right now, as you enjoy the rest of the summer, you may want to start with your chiropractor. The chiropractor’s understanding of the body and experience with all sorts of exercises and results fits perfectly here.
The American Chiropractic Association says chiropractors are becoming our new wellness coaches, as they call for new attitudes, better diets and a lot more movement. ACA’s Dr. Bautch constantly works with patients to increase their daily movements. He says, “Americans today take significantly fewer steps than previous generations, and they spend a great deal more time in sedentary positions. Adding more motion to life can be a huge step toward living well.” Thirty minute daily walks can help correct the amount of sitting time we do. To be considered active adults should take about 10,000 steps daily.
If you agree and you just need more direction to keep redefining this process as you redefine your body, see your chiropractor now.
The Visit to the Chiropractor
The initial visit will include a spinal adjustment to evaluate your spinal health and spot any pain. It will also include a complete medical history and review of daily activities. This is where the fitness assist can really kick in. Typically, we only see our doctors for checkups and when illness shows up. But visits to the chiropractor are different. They often become ongoing regular reviews of progress, giving the chiropractor a chance to see how you are progressing, and giving you a chance to get ongoing tips.
You might want to talk about your time on the treadmill discussing frustrations or successes. Or you may want an evaluation of your early morning runs with some tips on how to make them better. From there, you might have questions about your weight, other gym machines you are using, or good warm up techniques. The chiropractor can help steer you through all of this, and help you avoid bad choices. There may also be healthy diet advice, and tips on ways to drop stress and use range of motion exercises. Over time this should all fit together to benefit you. Through it all the chiropractor will be seeking to achieve the best results for you without medications or surgery.
If this sounds like a plan to you, make an appointment now.
