How are your New Year’s resolutions coming along? Maybe you’ve started going to the gym regularly or incorporating healthy foods into your diet. Experts at North Pole Chiropractic, a family practice in North Pole, AK, say it’s not too late to add chiropractic health to your list of priorities.

When your spine is aligned properly, the rest of your body just works better. Regular visits to your chiropractor could help you avoid injury and maintain better posture. If you suffer from neck pain or back pain, a chiropractic adjustment can offer relief. You can do your part in maintaining good chiropractic health by:

  • Exercising Regularly: Moving the body is one of the most important ways to keep your spine healthy. The team at North Pole Chiropractic will help you determine what fitness routines are most appropriate for your specific condition.
  • Warming Up Before Exercise: It’s important to take a few minutes to warm up before exercising. This will prepare your body for your workout, reduce your risk of injury, and lower your chances of experiencing soreness.
  • chiropractic healthStretching: A stretching routine can improve flexibility in the muscles that support the spine. Stretching after a workout also helps your muscles recover more quickly. Your chiropractor can show you specific stretches to help address your “problem” areas. Side bends and cat stretches are often used to tackle the areas around the spine.  
  • Hydrating: Drinking enough water is important for overall health, but it’s also good for your spine, which contains discs that absorb water. Over time, these discs can shrink if you don’t consume enough H2O. Most experts recommend drinking eight glasses of water a day.
  • Taking it Slow: Don’t jump into an intense exercise program if you haven’t exercised in years. It’s not safe, and it could increase your risk for injuries. Talk to your chiropractic expert before starting a new program. Doctors at North Pole Chiropractic create personalized treatment plans that often include on-site X-rays and other tests to help you evaluate the health of your spine.

If you’re thinking of starting a new program or if you’re tired of living in pain, don’t hesitate to contact North Pole Chiropractic. You can make an appointment by calling (907) 488-1885.
