5 Resolutions for Better Spinal Health in 2025
As we step into 2025, it’s the perfect time to focus on your spinal health. At Cookstown Chiropractic & Wellness Centre, we believe that a healthy spine is the foundation for overall wellness. Here are five resolutions that can transform your spinal health this year:

Move More, Sit Less In our digital age, we’re sitting more than ever. Make a conscious effort to stand up and move every hour. Set reminders if needed, and consider a standing desk or active sitting chair.
Perfect Your Posture Good posture isn’t just about looking confident – it’s crucial for spinal health. Be mindful of your posture throughout the day, whether you’re working, driving, or relaxing at home.
Strengthen Your Core A strong core supports your spine. Incorporate exercises like planks, bridges, and bird dogs into your routine. Even 10 minutes a day can make a difference!
Prioritize Sleep Your spine recovers during sleep. Invest in a supportive mattress and pillow, and aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.
Regular Chiropractic Check-ups Prevention is key to spinal health. Regular adjustments can help maintain proper alignment, prevent issues before they start, and keep your body functioning optimally.
Making Your Resolutions Stick
Start small: Implement one resolution at a time
Track your progress: Use a journal or app to monitor your spinal health journey
Seek support: Let friends, family, or our team at Cookstown Chiropractic & Wellness Centre cheer you on
Remember, these resolutions aren’t about perfection – they’re about progress. Every small step towards better spinal health counts. At Cookstown Chiropractic & Wellness Centre, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Whether you need advice, adjustments, or encouragement, our doors are always open.

Let’s make 2025 the year your spine thanks you! With consistency and care, you can look forward to improved posture, reduced pain, and better overall health. Here’s to a new year and a healthier, happier you!

Here are three ways runners can benefit from chiropractic care:

1. Improved Biomechanics and Performance

Chiropractic adjustments help align the spine and pelvis, improving overall posture and biomechanics. This alignment reduces stress on joints, enhances range of motion, and promotes efficient movement patterns, allowing runners to perform better and reduce energy waste.

2. Injury Prevention and Recovery

Runners are prone to repetitive strain injuries, like IT band syndrome, shin splints, or plantar fasciitis. Chiropractic care addresses muscle imbalances, joint restrictions, and spinal misalignments, helping to prevent injuries. For existing injuries, chiropractors can speed up recovery by reducing inflammation and promoting healing through targeted adjustments and soft tissue therapies.

3. Pain Relief and Reduced Inflammation

Chiropractors can help alleviate common runner pains, such as lower back discomfort or knee pain, by correcting misalignments and improving joint mobility. Chiropractic care can also decrease inflammation by enhancing circulation and nervous system function, providing natural pain relief without reliance on medication.
