Chiropractic and Yoga

Chiropractic is a health care profession that is built on the idea of restoring functional integrity to the body.  In other words, chiropractors make sure all the parts are moving properly, especially the parts of the spinal column.  When the moving parts of the spinal column lose their mobility, the nerves that those bones are supposed to be protecting can become irritated, leading to pain and disease.  Chiropractic adjustments correct these areas of joint dysfunction, thereby leading to improved health.  But how can we ensure that these joints maintain their normal mobility?  One of the most effective complements to chiropractic is yoga.  Yoga helps improve strength and flexibility in the muscles responsible for maintaing good posture.  When these muscles are healthy and strong, it becomes much less likely that the joints of the spine will become rigid.  Chiropractic and yoga form a great 1-2 punch to not only knock out back pain, but also maintain optimal spinal fitness.
