Improving Flexibility with Chiropractic Care

By Stepy Kamei

Have you ever noticed how your body feels after a good session of stretching? Stretching feels great for a reason -- it means you're staying flexible, and flexibility is good for you! If you've ever wanted to test out your flexibility, you can do the most basic of stretches by trying to touch your toes. Having trouble? It's not necessarily a sign of poor health if you can't, but if you're experiencing discomfort or pain when trying to stretch, or you're finding your flexibility seems to have decreased recently, you may be showing signs of limited mobility. Fortunately, there are ways to improve your flexibility again -- including by seeing your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic to help you get started on the path to better health and wellness.

Why Is Flexibility So Important?

When the body is flexible and mobile, it's better able to literally carry you through the day. Flexibility is obviously important for maintaining an exercise routine, as well as reducing aches and pains at the end of any busy, movement-filled day. When your joints are regularly stretched out, you're less likely to experience inflammation, or muscle strain from pushing your muscles too hard. Increased mobility is also important for maintaining healthy blood flow, which allows vital nutrients to be carried around the body. Good blood flow is often associated with more energy and an improved immune system. 

It's important to maintain a habit of staying flexible and mobile from a young age so you're less likely to experience troubles with movement and independence as you reach retirement age. Even doing just five minutes of stretches in the morning when you first wake up can help keep you flexible.

How Can Chiropractic Help Improve Mobility? 

While stretching is a great start to improving mobility, there are more options available for improving this aspect of your well-being. Chiropractic care can be a helpful resource in restoring any flexibility that may be lost (without you even realizing it!) due to joint subluxations. These are restrictions that occur naturally due to stress, injuries, or everyday wear and tear. By seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis, you can experience relief from adjustments, as well as engage in a healthier lifestyle that may help prevent them in the first place.

When you go in for your first appointment, you'll receive an initial consultation. If muscle stiffness or soreness has been a consistent health issue for you, be sure you let your chiropractor know, so they can understand how best to help treat your symptoms. They will examine your spine for misalignments, before gently realigning the spine using manual manipulation techniques. When the spinal cord is correctly aligned, it's easier to have flexible joints. 

With minimal wait times, The Joint Chiropractic is an ideal place to get started on your journey to better joint and body health. Come on in today!
