Therapeutic exercises & Stretching | Charleston IL

Therapeutic exercise and chiropractic care work in tandem to create a comprehensive approach to health and wellness. While chiropractic adjustments are crucial for realigning the body, maintaining those results is equally important. Without a consistent strengthening regimen, the benefits of an adjustment may diminish over time. The stronger your core muscles are the better they hold your spine in correct alignment after an adjustment


Stretching Benefits

Stretching helps increase resistance to injuries through aligning your muscle fibers. You can think of this as the fibers in your muscles are somewhat balled up on a microscopic level after long periods of inactivity. When you stretch it aligns these fibers in a straight line allowing them to stretch to their full potential and when you do this regularly they adapt over time staying straightened out for longer periods. This allows you move in a greater range without causing strains to your muscles. It also helps the spiderlike connective tissue in your body called fascia; which plays a vital role in the support structure of your body. When you are immobile for long periods it starts to stiffen up causing restriction/pain during movement and overtime this can be improved by stretching regularly.
