How Different Exercise Styles Impact Your Spine

Exercise is vital for spinal health, but did you know different activities affect your spine in unique ways? Swimming provides gentle decompression through buoyancy, making it ideal for herniated discs. Yoga enhances flexibility and core strength while promoting proper alignment through mindful movement.

Strength training, when done correctly, builds the supportive muscles around your spine, creating a natural brace. However, improper form can strain your back—especially with weighted exercises.

Walking offers accessible, low-impact movement that stimulates spinal disc nutrition through gentle compression and release. Even cycling provides cardiovascular benefits with minimal spinal impact when properly fitted to your body.

The key is variation—your spine benefits from diverse movements rather than repetitive stress. Listen to your body’s feedback and adjust accordingly. Consider consulting with us before starting a new exercise program, especially if you have existing spinal concerns.

Your Spine Compresses More Than You Think

Throughout a normal day, gravity takes a toll on your spine. The constant pressure of being upright compresses your spinal vertebrae, and you may lose up to a centimeter of height in an average day. This is why you’re actually slightly taller when you wake up in the morning compared to when you go to bed.

NASA discovered something remarkable when studying astronauts: they grew about three percent taller while in space due to the lack of gravitational pull on their vertebrae. When there’s no gravitational force, the vertebrae naturally relax and expand. While we can’t escape gravity here on Earth, chiropractic adjustments could provide similar decompressive effects.
