Importance of stretching

There are many benefits in adding stretching to accompany chiropractic care. It aids in repairing the body, improving the core, mobility and spine function.

Stretching to Support a Healthy Spine-

Muscle tension can pull the spine out of alignment, which counteracts the chiropractic care you receive. If one side of your back is tense it can pull on the spine sending it off balance.

The goal of stretching as part of a chiropractic support is to loosen the muscles that support the spine, therefore keeping your spine aligned and muscles around that area to be tension free.

Increases flexibility –

Stretching also improves your flexibility, making your everyday tasks easier to perform, such as lifting things or simply bending over to tie your shoelaces.

Improved posture –

Everyday stretching helps your muscles from becoming tight, permitting you to uphold a better posture.

Stretching also improves your sleep and stress levels, prevents injury, increases strengths and energy.
