Support Your Chiropractic Treatment Program with Stretches
It is no secret that the body houses a series of systems that work together for optimal function. Comprehensive health care, both at home and with a medical team, can include incorporating multiple treatment modalities to bring your body’s systems back to health.
Stretching is an ideal complement to chiropractic care as it aids in healing, reduces pain, and improves mood while working through ailments. Mobility and stretching practices are beneficial in supporting optimal health and body function, especially in connection with chiropractic care for spinal and core alignment.

Repair the Body with Chiropractic Care and Stretching
There are innumerable benefits to adding stretching as a complementary practice to your chiropractic care. It helps repair the body overall and enables you to enjoy life, especially concerning the core and spine function and mobility.
How does stretching paired with chiropractic care improve life?

Whatever your goals are, stretching daily, with chiropractic care, can help you keep your body feeling strong and healthy. Spinal care and muscle mobility are crucial components of all health goals.
Stretching to Support a Healthy Spine
Muscle tension can pull the spine out of alignment, which counteracts the chiropractic care you receive. When one side of the back is tense and cramped, it can pull on the spine and send it off balance.
The primary goal of stretching as part of a chiropractic support program is to loosen the muscles that support the spine. These muscles include the chest, shoulders, abdominals, lower back muscles, and legs. Keeping the spinal support muscles loose and mobile helps keep the spine aligned, working to limit the pain associated with spinal misalignment. Reducing pain around the spine also prevents muscle tension and spasms that can be the result of muscles protecting the spine.
Flexibility and Mobility
Stretching improves flexibility and mobility, allowing the muscles to move freely and reducing their pull on the core and spine. As you increase mobility and flexibility, pain in the lower back, shoulders, and neck will likely decrease. Flexibility training reduces tension, brings us in tune with the body, and allows us to pinpoint where the injury or pain resides.
Increased flexibility has the bonus of improving posture. A long-standing habit of hunching forward causes constant tension on the shoulder muscles, the neck, and the spine. Opening those areas through stretching allows you to straighten the body and stand upright. Posture issues can create extensive spinal tension and pain if not corrected. As the shoulders and neck relax, tension headaches can decrease.
Increased Blood Flow
When your chiropractic care and daily stretching are combined, blood flow to the muscles and tissues will greatly increase. This brings increased oxygen to the soft tissue and allows toxins to release from the body. Blood flow promotes healing, removes stored energy that blocks energy in the body, and helps to keep the body functionally at its best.
