When people think about improving their health, one of the first things that may come to mind is visiting the doctor and taking prescribed medications. While these are certainly important to your health, they should never be the only things you do to maintain your overall health. There are many ways to improve your health, promote healthy living, and keep a healthy lifestyle. In this blog post, Dr. Nathen Horst discusses how exercise through yoga and chiropractic care can improve your health.

Staying Healthy with Yoga

Exercise is one of the best ways for any individual to stay healthy. It keeps people fit, reduces stress levels, and helps regulate sleep patterns. There are several ways to exercise, but an increasingly popular way is with yoga.

Yoga is a spiritual and aesthetic discipline that helps individuals stretch, balance, and strengthen their bodies. Most yoga sessions last an hour and have been shown to increase overall health. There are several different types of yoga and patients of all shapes, sizes, and skill levels can participate in the practice.

Before signing up for a yoga class, it’s not uncommon to talk with the instructor to get some ideas for improved health and to make sure that you are in the right class.

Yoga is a great way to improve overall health, and chiropractors see yoga and chiropractic health as mutually beneficial to each other. In addition, if a patient sustains an injury during yoga, which is unlikely, they can consult a chiropractor to get advice on how much and how hard to exercise and what practices should be engaged in and which should be avoided.

Staying Healthy with Chiropractic Care

Now that it’s clear that yoga is a great way to exercise and stay healthy, it’s also important to know that chiropractic care is an essential way to stay healthy.

Chiropractic care focuses on spine, neck, and back health, and will help relieve any patient of pain caused by subluxation.
Since the spine is used in virtually every activity the body engages in, it’s important to pay attention to proper spine health. Chiropractors will regularly adjust patients to make sure the spine is aligned properly. Additionally, patients can expect chiropractors to help them strengthen the muscles around the spine to avoid any preventable injuries.

It’s a good idea to visit a chiropractor regularly, but, unless the patient has sustained a serious injury, chiropractic care shouldn’t be intense and ongoing. The goal of chiropractic care is to help the patient get healthy, stay healthy, and provide education to keep the spine in good health.

Yoga and chiropractic care are both helpful for individuals looking to improve health. Just don’t replace one for the other.
