It's Up to You 🤷

Happy May! It’s time for lots of sunshine, beaches, and BBQs.

When the days get warmer it makes me appreciate my health and optimal function. I know this is only possible with a healthy food plan, regular exercise, flexibility, and normal mobility.

Maintaining normal movement as we age is one of the most important factors in preventing functional limitations. Loss of functional capacity is the number one reason why people lose their health as they get older. Research has shown that 75% of all people in the last 6 months of their life end up in hospitals because of these top 4 reasons: functional limitations, frailty, dementia, and caregiver exhaustion. Ironically, it’s usually not because of a disease.

Exercise and stretching are vital to staying strong a maintaining self-efficacy. However, this is dependent on normal movement, which is directly correlated with spinal mobility. All movement in the body starts from the spine. 

A chiropractor in your wellness plan is critical to help you keep your spine mobile. Your spine is a complex structure that needs to be adjusted periodically to ensure normal movement. Otherwise, how do you know if all your vertebrae in your spine are moving normally? Loss of motion doesn’t hurt. So, feeling pain is not the answer. It’s impossible to reach back and check your own spine and adjust all the areas that aren’t moving.

Once you lose function it’s hard to get it back. The responsibility is yours if you want to live a long and healthy life. Keep this in mind and take care of your spine!
