Benefits of Yoga & Chiropractic

As you may know, yoga and chiropractic care have become increasingly popular in the past decade. But did you know that they are mutually beneficial? Here are some of the benefits of pairing yoga and chiropractic for pain relief.

Mutual Benefits of Yoga and Chiropractic

Restores Balance to the Body

Yoga can help relieve pain and other chronic conditions, such as back pain, neck pain, or carpal tunnel syndrome. It helps the body rebalance itself in the same way that chiropractic care does. The key to restoring balance is strengthening muscles, releasing muscle tension, bolstering bones and joints, and improving flexibility.

Relaxes the Body

Stretching and elongating the body helps relieve tension and stress that has built up over time. When you practice yoga before a chiropractic adjustment, your body warms up, and your mind becomes clear, helping you relax. As a result, our chiropractors can treat you more efficiently and effectively since your body will be relaxed when you arrive.

Strengthens the Body

Whenever people exercise, they tend to focus on major muscle groups. Every muscle in the body is worked during yoga, even the small ones you never even knew you had! The bigger muscles don't have to work so hard to maintain balance by strengthening small muscles. This can reduce the time needed to recover from injury and prevent it in the first place. In addition, yoga enhances the body's ability to receive chiropractic treatment by promoting strength from top to toe. A strong and flexible body responds better to chiropractic treatments than one that is stiff, sore, and uneven.
