Easy Ways to Support Your Chiropractic Care
By Sara Butler
Your health and wellness are important, which is probably why you sought out care at The Joint Chiropractic in the first place. But did you know that your chiropractic care extends beyond the treatment room? If you truly want to get the most you can out of your chiropractic treatments, then there are things you should be doing between adjustments to help support your treatment plan. Here are some easy tips from the chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic to help you become an active participant in your body's mission to heal itself and work optimally.
Drink Up
Water is essential to your body for it to work optimally. When you have a chiropractic adjustment it'll help to make sure you drink plenty of water in order to help flush the toxins that can be released when chiropractic treatments eliminate joint dysfunctions and restrictions that you may have.
Drinking plenty of water also helps to nourish your joints and support proper joint health, ensuring they can lubricate well so they can move as they were made too. So, go ahead, have that big glass of water right after your adjustment -- it'll do wonders for you!
Move Gently
Chiropractic adjustments are beneficial to your body but remember your body needs time to rest too. Between adjustments allow your body to heal by giving it a little time to rest and rejuvenate. But at the same time, you don't want to be completely sedentary. Find a balance by making sure to move often, but gently after an adjustment. If you have questions about activity after a chiropractic adjustment, talk to your chiropractor at The Joint.
Stretch It Out
Stretching is a great way to support your chiropractic adjustments and help your joints to be more flexible. Yoga, which stretches your muscles and works to strengthen your core, is a perfect compliment to chiropractic care since it helps you achieve better posture and release tension from the muscles in your body as it helps you stay limber.
Remember, your treatment plan isn't simply something your chiropractor is doing to you, it's a plan of action agreed upon by you and your chiropractor. You must do your part to ensure your body is healthy and benefit fully from the chiropractic care you're seeking out. If you have questions about what else you can do to support your adjustments, discuss it with your chiropractor at The Joint today!
