The human body was designed for movement. Despite your best efforts, events that occur beyond your control (such as aging and accidents) as well as events that you can control (such as lifestyle choices) can diminish your range of motion. As a result, simple tasks like bending over to pick up your morning paper can become challenging. Your overall health and wellness depend on your mobility and flexibility. Here's how your chiropractor can help improve your range of motion.
Everyday Range of Motion
You move your joints in your body to perform every single daily activity. Joints must be able to move freely for you to do things, whether it be brushing your teeth or backing your car out of the driveway. The chances of you noticing your joints move are slim until you have a degenerative condition or injury that affects them. When you are in pain, even small tasks may seem difficult.
The Range of Motion of Your Spine
A chiropractor's primary focus is your spine because if your spine's joints are restricted, the effect can be domino-like throughout your body. In addition, a range of motion issue in the spine is typically correlated with health issues related to mobility, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and headaches. As your spinal range of motion declines with age, you will experience more discomfort and pain when doing things. With a properly aligned spine, your joints are free to move and improve your range of motion. Likely, your spinal alignment problem isn't caused by anything you're doing wrong, but rather by everyday life. The key to getting your life back on track is finding the right chiropractor.
Chiropractic Care Can Help
Bird Chiropractic can help you determine when your spinal range of motion is limited and how to improve it. As you improve your range of motion in your spine, you'll notice an improvement in your mobility due to increased blood flow and nerve communication. Stretches and light exercises recommended by your chiropractor can also help improve your flexibility and range of motion, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and ready for the day ahead.
