Many patients have a problem of maintaining their chiropractic adjustments long enough. That may happen due to many reasons, including failure to abandon poor body postures or not figuring out which types of exercises can help improve the posture. Yoga is increasingly becoming popular around the world, with an estimated 20 million people in the US investing their time and money to learn and adopt the best yoga practices. Combining yoga and chiropractic care has been confirmed to offer even more benefits to patients. If they perform the best yoga poses before and after chiropractic adjustment, they are likely to learn how to keep the spine properly aligned over longer periods of time and heal better.
There are many reasons why yoga can be used to maintain the results achieved with chiropractic adjustment. The top chiropractic benefits of yoga include but are not limited to the following:
Keeping the spine aligned properly
Yoga poses can help you to realign the spine, and that’s also what chiropractic care is all about. When performing yoga, your body is encouraged to maintain natural postures. That makes you more aware of the need to maintain proper body posture even as you go on performing other day to day activities. Through yoga your body trains to keep your spine aligned properly, so the risk of undoing any chiropractic adjustments is significantly reduced. Remaining calm through a yoga session, can improve your sense of well being and help you sleep better.
Strengthening the back and core muscles
The core muscles play a critical role in supporting your back as the body shifts its weight to many possible positions. Certain yoga poses target and train the core muscles to make them stronger. That helps to perform a variety of normal activities without the core muscles failing in their role of supporting the spine. As long as the core muscles are strong, the risk of exerting more pressure on the spine and misaligning it is significantly minimized.
Improving mobility
Yoga improves the mobility of your muscles, ligaments and tendons as they are stretched through many poses you can practice. So the functioning of the spine and the soft tissues around it is optimized. Chiropractic issues increase with poor mobility, so yoga and a variety of stretching exercises can be very useful preventing such problems. So after your chiropractic adjustment yoga should help you maintain the results you gain much longer. Regularly performing yoga exercises means that you are not sitting longer than necessarily, but you are moving around and stretching your body muscles to relieve any stress that causes issues of chiropractic nature.
Toning body muscles and losing weight
Yoga like other exercises deals with stress and similar problems that may be the cause of overeating and gaining more weight. With yoga poses you only focus on the positive gains you want to make. The poses encourage breathing techniques that increase oxygen supply into your body including the central nervous system. The exercises have the effect of getting your body in shape, losing weight and in turn minimizing or eliminating many possible pain issues. Stay tuned for more great tips from River Of Life.
