Five Ways You Can Improve Range of Motion

If you aren't moving…you aren't living! At our practice, we believe that movement is life, yet for so many people today, moving is difficult due to decreased range of motion.

When range of motion is inhibited, it's common to experience pain and discomfort which may lead to overcompensation in other body parts as they try to pick up the slack, beginning a cycle of dysfunction.

Instead of dealing with poor range of motion and the pain it can bring, here are a few different ideas for getting back to proper movement.

1. Don't let stress get out of control. It's no secret that stress can cause problems in the body, but did you know it can also keep muscles tense, limiting movement? If you're feeling stressed before exercising, try some breathing exercises to calm your body so that you don't go into your workout with already tight muscles.

2. After working out, remember to stretch the muscles you just used. Spend at least 10 minutes doing light to moderate stretching after exercising.

3. Stay hydrated. When your body and muscles don't get enough water, a variety of health problems can occur—especially relating to tightness and cramps, which can further restrict range of motion.

4. Consider getting a massage. Massage helps to relax tense and tight areas, while promoting circulation that may help with healing.

5. Visit us for an evaluation. We've helped numerous patients just like yourself move easier and better with a focused, gentle chiropractic care plan. We'd love to learn more about your goals and help you understand the benefits of adjustments firsthand. Contact us today to learn more.

6 Tips for Improving Your Posture

"Stop slouching-sit up straight." You likely heard your mother say something similar growing up. Your well-meaning mother was right. Not only does proper posture look more attractive, but it's also better for your body. When you have good posture, you're likely to have a better mental outlook, experience less pain and have more confidence.

Causes of poor posture include:

◽️Toting too much body weight
◽️Lack of muscle tone
◽️Sitting for lengthy periods
◽️Using improper form when walking or
exercising
◽️Prolonged time on digital devices
◽️Sleeping in the wrong position
The good news is there are many things you can do to perfect your posture. Here are some tips.

1. Engage in posture exercises.

While any type of exercise may help improve posture, specific posture exercises can help you stand a little taller. You can also develop more strength, balance and flexibility in your body.

2. Set up an ergonomic workstation.

Sit in a chair with a straight back, and keep your feet flat on the floor. You should also consider using an adjustable standing desk that allows you to alternate between sitting and standing throughout your workday.

3. Strengthen your core.

Your core muscles affect your ability to maintain proper posture. A strong core can help you maintain better posture. Pilates, yoga and core fitness exercises programs target the core, which can help improve your posture.

4. Avoid tech neck.

Whether you're streaming your favorite show on your tablet or texting a friend on your smartphone, having your head in a downward position can lead to neck problems and poor posture. It's a good idea to raise your screen higher, hold your head up and keep your phone at eye level, and take breaks often.

5. Mind your mattress and sleep position.

Choose a firm mattress that provides good support to your spine. By lying on your side or back, your spine will be in a neutral position.

6. Get adjusted.

Chiropractors can correct poor posture, such as forward head translation or slouching.

6 Things That Happen When You Sit Too Often
 
In the past, you may have heard us reference the saying, "Sitting is the new smoking." While it might be hard to believe that simply spending too much time in a seated position can possibly damage your body as much as to***co does, it's entirely true.

Here are six different effects of over-sitting.

1. Your metabolism can slow down.
Decreased muscle use can lead to a slower clearance of fat from the body and decrease the effects of insulin.

2. It can lead to chronic pain.
Sitting for too long, especially at a desk, can cause excess pressure on certain parts of the body, like the lower back.

3. You'll have less energy.
Sitting too much means moving less. Movement, like going for a brisk 20-minute walk, can up our energy levels quickly.

4. It can increase your risk of heart disease.
Leading a sedentary lifestyle is tied with a higher risk of heart problems, among other issues.

5. Our mental health suffers.
In fact, studies have indicated that sitting indoors and communicating with others strictly online can reduce social skills and affect psychological well-being.

6. Your posture becomes compromised.
More pressure is put on lumbar discs when sitting instead of being distributed equally. This causes the pelvis to rotate backward, which can sometimes lead to our head moving forward.

Your body was made to move. If movement has become difficult for you, we're here to help. Contact us to learn more about how gentle chiropractic adjustments may help restore function to your daily life.
