Chiropractic Care Makes Stretching Easy

By Donna Stark

Is the extent of your morning stretches limited to the times when you reach over to hit the snooze button on your alarm clock? If so, you could be missing out on a ton of health benefits! Stretching in the morning (and throughout the day) is a simple and great way to improve your overall well-being, but if you really want to maximize your results, add some chiropractic care too! Here's what your local chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic have to say about both.

Chiropractic Care Makes Stretching Easy

If you want to incorporate more stretching into your daily routine, consider establishing regular chiropractic adjustments first. Routine chiropractic care can boost your stretching efforts and help you reach your goals quicker by placing your body in proper alignment, easing muscle tension, decreasing joint stiffness, alleviating pain, and improving flexibility. Your chiropractor may also help you determine the best sleeping position to use and the perfect mattress to buy so you can wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle those stretching sessions of yours.

Benefits of Daily Stretches

Now that you know how to prepare your body for your morning stretch sessions, let's take a look at all the benefits you will enjoy once you start doing so. You may be surprised by what you learn.

• Less back pain - Stretching several times a day can help ease tension and strain in your back, which will lead to less back pain overall. It can also reduce a lot of the stress in your body.
• Improved posture - You may not feel it happening, but tight muscles and ligaments can pull your body out of its proper alignment, and that can lead to poor posture, aches, and pain. Stretching your body daily can reduce the risk of this happening.
• Increased range of motion and flexibility - Stretching helps to keep your muscles relaxed and your joints limber. With daily stretch sessions, you will see a huge difference in your range of motion and flexibility.
• Fewer injuries - The risk of injury increases when your muscles and joints are tight and stiff, so make sure you are stretching before any type of physical activity.
• Better stability - You will also be able to enjoy better balance and stability when you incorporate more stretches into your daily routine because your joint and muscle function will be improved. This can help reduce the risk of accidental falls and injuries.
