The Powerful Benefits of Chiropractic Care and Yoga

By Donna Stark

The impact that yoga has on the body goes well beyond the calming effects you may feel during your class or in-home session. And the impact that chiropractic care has on the body goes well beyond the initial relief from pain you may feel after an adjustment. So, wouldn't it make sense that if you combine the two, your overall well-being will be improved? Imagine, if you will, what it would be like if you add both of them to your life. Can you picture a stronger, healthier body and an improved quality of life? Well, when you combine regular sessions of yoga with routine chiropractic care at The Joint Chiropractic, that's exactly what you will get!

The Benefits of Yoga and Chiropractic Care

Yoga is a form of exercise that helps to strengthen and tone muscles, reduce stress, increase flexibility, and improve mobility. Because yoga is a low-impact exercise, it is a favorite for those who are recovering from an injury or who struggle with high-impact fitness routines.

Chiropractic care is a safe, gentle, and effective approach to pain relief and improved health and wellness. Chiropractors are trained to uncover the root cause of your pain issues and to target it with precise adjustments. In addition to pain relief, routine chiropractic care can also improve your well-being. By placing your spine in proper alignment, correcting joint dysfunction, and improving the way your nervous system works, everything in your body begins to work better.

Combining These Two Powerhouses of Good Health

You can't do anything better for the health of your spine (and the rest of your body for that matter) than to combine your yoga sessions with regular chiropractic adjustments. Take a look at why the two complement each other so perfectly.

• Stress - Yoga reduces stress through its meditation and breathing exercises. Chiropractic care reduces stress by easing tension and encouraging the body to relax.
• Flexibility - Yoga improves flexibility by stretching and lengthening muscles. Chiropractic care improves flexibility by correcting joint dysfunction and reducing muscle strain.
• Spinal health - Yoga helps keep the spine healthy by strengthening the surrounding muscles that support it. Chiropractic care improves spinal health by placing it in proper alignment and restoring function.
• Balance and stability - Yoga increases the body's balance and stability by strengthening the core muscles. Chiropractic care enhances balance and stability by reducing joint pain and stiffness.
• Pain relief - Yoga helps reduce pain in the body by encouraging slow, intentional movements. Chiropractic care reduces pain by correcting alignment issues, reducing inflammation, and improving circulation.
