How can you prolong the effects of chiropractic care?
The chiropractic adjustment feels great at the moment, but how can you stay feeling good? Follow these steps:
1. MOVE! - Your range of motion increases when you get adjusted, but if you don’t use it then you will lose it.
2. Drink Water - Keep your joints hydrated and lubricated! Water will also help flush out toxins, help your cells recover, and increase elasticity to your tendons, fascia, and ligaments.
3. Avoid staying in the same position for long periods of time! Prolonged sitting, standing, etc. will allow your joints to become restricted again. Keep them moving!
4. Avoid high-inflammatory foods such as sugar, carbohydrates (bread, pasta, rice, grains), alcohol, and trans fat.
5. Do your home exercises! We gave you exercises to help strengthen, stabilize, and use certain muscles. If you do these exercises consistently, they will help get your joints moving and your muscles relaxed.
6. Change your bad habits! Definitely the hardest one, but we cannot improve your body mechanics if you continue those bad habits. Take micro-breaks, exercise, prioritize sleep, and have a healthy balanced diet.
