Chiropractic Tip: Pick Your Own Daily Health Path
By Sandy Schroeder
Most of us have become more aware of how influential we can be on our health. We make countless choices every day that can improve our health or increase the risk for serious disease. If we sit too much, eat too much junk food or forget to exercise, there is a price to pay.
So what path are you on right now?
- Do you walk or run before work?
- Do you eat a healthy breakfast?
- Do you sit too much at work and at home?
- Does your favorite burger place know your order when you drive through?
Find the Right Path with Chiropractic
The Joint Chiropractic clinic near you can help you zero in on the best health, wellness and fitness choices. Their doctors of chiropractic focus on spinal health that can lead to better overall health. The spine allows us to twist and turn all day long, while the central nervous system housed inside commands all of our brain-to-body communication. When everything works well, we do too.
When you come in, your chiropractor will ask about current pain, daily routines and health history. A gentle targeted spinal adjustment may ease pain and generate a fresh sense of wellness with better sleep, improved digestion or more mental clarity.
As you consider the benefits, you may elect to do weekly 15-minute spinal adjustments to feel great and work on any specific issues that you have. I have a friend who uses these 15-minute sessions to keep her body limber and her mind clear. Before she had some back and neck pain, and felt tired a lot. Now she is able to keep up with her daily job and take evening classes in education.
Another friend uses the 15-minute sessions to ease joint pain and stay mobile. She is a retired teacher who is still active in the field, helping at the library to work with young readers who need a little extra coaching.
Think about what you want to work on and make time for those efforts in your daily schedule. Pick the most comfortable times and they may become ongoing habits.
- Add a 15-minute stretching session before breakfast
- Add 30 minutes after lunch to walk outdoors
- Skip the cookies in afternoon breaks and do a short meditation
- Stop at the gym after work for a spin class
- Work out with your kids in the evening with small weights, a treadmill or stationary bike
