Getting the Most Out of Life and Chiropractic Treatment

March 1, 2010

Want to most out of life, get a Chiropractor and go regularly. If you are still unsure of why toss the word subluxation into a search engine and learn for yourself the science behind this devastating condition that only a Chiropractor is trained to find and correct. Faulty spinal biomechanics can rob you of your health and vitality. Want the most out of your Chiropractic treatments, drink water after your adjustments, and do the exercises your Chiropractor recommended. Between adjustments stay active. Movement, particularly movement of the spine once your Chiropractor has realigned and normal motion is restored is a major key in maximizing the short and long term benefits of those adjustments.

As a Chiropractor for more than twenty-five years I call tell that those individuals who ballroom dance, or perform Tai Chi, Yoga, or Pilate’s do far better between adjustments than those who don’t. The key is to pick an activity, which contains both dynamic motion of the spine and balance. Make sure to pick an activity that you enjoy so you will stick with it.

If ballroom or Tai Chi isn’t your thing I recommend an inversion table. For safety reasons I only recommend better models which range in price from roughly 250- 400 dollars. The quick adjustable ankle lock down feature makes any inversion table a pleasure to use so look for that feature. The Align is currently the best bang for the buck on the market due to Costco’s buying power.

Benefits of daily use of an inversion table between Chiropractic adjustments include better rehydration of spinal discs and facet joints through movement and axial traction. Reversing the gravitational forces on the spine also helps with other components of the subluxation complex including, IVF encroachment, facet imbrications, disc bulging, neural compression, DJD / osteoarthritis, and improves kinesthetic feed back loops. Too complicated?  Ok, well if we didn’t stand up right gravity wouldn’t be a problem for our spine – that’s simple enough and all you really need to understand. So see your Chiropractor regularly, stay active and or get an inversion table. Make it a great day and a healthy tomorrow.
