How does chiropractic care help your workouts: Tips from a San Francisco Chiropractor

Your spine is involved with every movement you make.  If you lift your arms, your low back is engaged.  Lift your leg, your spine moves with it.  Even sitting, your back has to keep you aligned and work with gravity.  Your spine is active all of the time.  Even when you sleep your spine is receiving signals from the brain about what position you are in and what muscles are activated or inactivated.  

Chiropractic helps for long term health and decreases pain instances as we get older. This leads to having a more active healthy life.  

Here is how chiropractic helps with everyday life and helps you become more active:

  1. Spinal alignment leads to better movement:
    If your spine is not moving properly, it will lock up and eventually lead to pain.  This can prevent you from going on a easy dog walk (if you have one), washing the dishes, walking up or down stairs, even sitting or standing.  Routine chiropractic care helps your body work better leading to more health and vitality.  
  2. Better signals to and from the brain:
    Your brain and spine communicate and send signals everywhere.  These signals need to be healthy and uninterrupted.  Just like a cell phone communicating with a satellite.  8 out of 10 people in the United States have had back pain at some point in their lives.  Routine care can prevent this pain from happening.  A lot of people think back pain is common as we get older but that is not the case.  It is about keeping your body fit and functioning properly.  
  3. Reduces risk of Osteoarthritis:
    Improper movement leads to stress on the joints.  This leads to arthritis and bone spurring in order for your body to stabilize and protect the spinal cord.  Adjustments by a chiropractor help these joints move the way they should and keep the stress to a minimum allowing your body to stay healthy longer.  
  4. Posture and balance:
    Your brain is constantly analyzing your body and where it is on earth.  It wants your eyes to be level with the horizon.  it also sends signals to your arms, legs, feet, hands and all other body parts.  There are many facets of balance and posture and the brain is what determines how they function.  Chiropractic keeps these signals firing appropriately and keeps your body and reflexes working the way they should.  

    This is why chiropractic and body work is necessary for general health not just pain relief.  We can definitely help with pain but the prevention of pain is way easier to manage.  When you are in pain, it takes a while to get out of it and heal.  Routine chiropractic keeps pain occurrences down and helps you stay healthy.
