Corrective Stretching/Strengthening Exercises

Exercises are a vital component of spinal correction and stabilization. We teach our patients special exercises designed specifically to release tight muscles and retrain muscles to maintain correct posture and proper biomechanics. These exercises are performed and supervised in our office to insure a safe technique is used, therefore maximizing the benefit to our patients. Patients are instructed to perform exercises both at home in the office in order to accelerate the corrective process. These exercises can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%.

Lifestyle Advice

A chiropractic lifestyle is one in which healthy choices regarding what we put in our bodies (foods, drugs, etc.) and the activity levels we maintain (physical fitness) are made on a daily basis. In order to discover true health, a proactive and preventive approach is essential. Lifestyle “coaching” is a means by which our office can communicate to our patients the benefits and risks of certain lifestyle choices and behaviors. Our central focus is to educate and empower our patients to become healthier in every aspect of life.
