Spine Care Implications 💟

It’s hard to believe, but the year's biggest holidays are coming. This is when people let go of their fitness goals and tell themselves they will start over after the first of the year. This kind of mindset is why most fail themselves and have difficulty staying healthy all year long. The key to good health and sustainability is found in the Chiropractic Lifestyle.

I often have people ask me what chiropractic has to do with healthy living. To clarify, I explain that the word "chiropractic" is a specific name for a spinal manipulation technique that helps realign a person's spine. Spinal manipulation was first used by Hippocrates and has since been used by all sorts of clinicians like chiropractors, osteopathic physicians, and physical therapists. There are many spinal manipulation techniques but the scientific evidence has found that the chiropractic technique is the best of the best. 

Doctors who are experts in the chiropractic technique are called chiropractors. In Latin the word "chiropractor" means hand (chiro) practitioner (practor). Unfortunately, the name chiropractor does not accurately describe the conditions chiropractors treat and manage. It’s like calling a medical doctor a medicator.

Most people don't realize that chiropractors are doctors who are trained in the diagnosis and conservative treatment of mechanical spine pain. So then where does this Chiropractic Lifestyle fit in with spine care? Well, the chiropractic lifestyle embraces the need to maintain a healthy spine and considers lifestyle factors that can impact the health of the spine. 

For example, weak muscles and an unhealthy food plan can lead to spinal instability and excess body fat. This can subsequently cause direct stress on the spine and cause misalignments, inflammation, and spinal arthritis.

When you follow the Chiropractic Lifestyle you can rest assured you are doing everything you can to maintain optimal health and function in your body. The only tricky part is sticking to the plan.

Have a great week and stay warm out there!
