The Importance of Exercise


As you may know, Chiropractic care is all about taking care of your body. Spinal adjustment is one element of your total health. Maintaining proper alignment requires several key components all working together. A healthy diet, regular exercise, proper rest and being aware of your posture are all things that can help keep your body in alignment and keep you healthy.


Proper exercise helps to improve bone density and muscle mass. Your muscles are the support structure for your bones and therefore very important in keeping your body in alignment. Of course there are many other benefits of exercise including:



  1. Improved cardiovascular function

  2. Increased circulation

  3. Weight reduction/maintenance

  4. Improved sleep patterns

  5. Stress reduction

That's just to name a few. I hope that you will make exercise a regular part of your health maintenance program. Of course, when strenuous activity or an accident puts your body out of alignment you should see your Chiropractor in addition to periodic visits to maintain optimal alignment and good health.
