Proper Spinal function allows us to do things well and most of the time to be pain-free. Poor spinal function however, forces your body to work harder or not at all, and this can cause someone pain or distress.
MOVEMENT ENHANCES YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE!
As with all parts of your body, there are things you can do to help maintain a healthy spine. Here are four of the best:
1) Nutritional Supplements- Vitamins and minerals can help provide the essential nutrition necessary to assist in healing and keep your bones stronger for a lifetime. Ask a qualified nutritionist or doctor of chiropractic for a specific plan based on your body's needs.
2) Posture-How you sit, stand, walk and sleep does matter. Correct posture enables your body to function more effectively.
3) Flexibility- You should take time each day to stretch your spine in all four directions: forward, backward, side to side and twisting both ways. It is also important to stretch other muscle groups in the legs and keep your abdominal muscles strong to prevent weakness and injury to the spine.
4) Spinal Checkups- Just like your teeth, your spine needs to be examined to determine if spinal dysfunction is present, particularly after stressful events, accidents or repetitive movements from work activities or hobbies. Doctors of Chiropractic can perform specific spinal examinations to determine malfunction of the spine.
QUALITY OF LIFE is defined as your ability to do the things that make life a joy to life.
Choose to live a life of quality!
