Make the Most of Chiropractic…with Exercise!

Keeping your body healthy requires time, effort, and commitment. In order to see the best results possible, you need to create and commit to a healthy routine. As we continue to practice social distancing, that can seem harder than ever! Here’s why it’s important to maintain your chiropractic and exercise routine.

The Benefits of Exercise
You’re most likely already aware of how beneficial regular exercise is for the body. Exercising keeps our bodies in better condition as a whole. It tones and tightens muscles, improves flexibility and range of motion, and burns fat. Exercise can also help reduce the risk of conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and other serious health problems. Working out also promotes weight loss, which means less pressure is put on our joints and spine, so health is boost while joint pain is decreased. One of our favorite exercise benefits is that it releases endorphins, which are the body’s feel-good chemical. And we could all use a little extra boost of happy right about now!

The Benefits of Chiropractic
While many people know at least some of the benefits of exercise, most aren’t aware of just how beneficial chiropractic care can be.
Not only can chiropractic provide pain relief for the neck and back, but also for areas all over the body. The chiropractors at Livingston County Chiropractic center use adjustments to return the spine to proper alignment, which often reduces pain in the neck, back, hips, and joints. Chiropractic has also been known to provide relief from chronic headaches and migraines while also improving the immune system and increasing energy.

What a Pair: Exercise and Chiropractic Care
Both chiropractic care and exercise are maintenance repairs. You can’t work out once and instantly be in great shape and you can’t receive on chiropractic adjustment and be cured of all ailments (though you may certainly feel better!). When you combine exercise and chiropractic, you enjoy the best of both. You may find yourself finally relieved of nagging pain while also noticing improved strength and stability. While regular exercise reduces the risk of certain diseases, chiropractic helps improve the immune system, so your health is improved overall.
