Ease Sore Joints With Chiropractic and Fitness
By Sandy Schroeder
If you are stiff and sore every morning, your joints may need some extra help to relieve pain. That's where chiropractic comes in.
The Joint Chiropractic clinic near you helps people find the most effective solutions for sore joints. Wherever it hurts, in the neck, back, knees, or hands, the goal will be to ease the pain and get moving again.
Seeing Your Chiropractor
When you come in, your chiropractor will assess your pain and explain how improved spinal health can improve your overall health. Our spines keep us wheeling through our day as the central nervous system encased inside provides all of the brain-to-body communication that we need. When everything is working well, we may feel a lot better too.
Gentle targeted spinal adjustments may ease your pain and create more benefits such as better sleep, more energy, or more alertness. Benefits are unique to each individual. As you evaluate your benefits you may want to use weekly 15-minute spinal adjustments to keep you on track.
I have a friend who uses weekly sessions to boost energy and keep pain in check. She has struggled with sore joints, but manages to work full time and take evening classes with the help of the weekly chiropractic sessions. She said she was missing work and skipping all sorts of other events before she got back on track with chiropractic.
Your chiropractor can be your fitness coach too, helping you choose strength exercises that keep you moving ahead.
Here are some more strength exercise tips from Harvard Health.
Choose the right ones - Do flexibility and range of motion exercises using elliptical machines and warm water pools.
Check with your doctor too - Before you launch new exercises, talk with your doctor about your pain and your goals.
Don't overdo it - Start gradually with your chiropractor's help and work your way up, monitoring for pain and ease of movement.
Pick the best times - Try to exercise when inflammation is at its lowest point. Stick to a daily routine to build flexibility and reduce stiffness.
Always warm up - Walk for a few minutes before beginning your strength exercises.
Pick the best exercises - Try for improved range of motion, but stop any exercises that cause pain.
