Chiropractic and Yoga

Chiropractic care and yoga are comparable and complementary disciplines. The practice of yoga provides strength, flexibility, and centering, enhancing physical performance on multiple levels. Participants in yoga classes derive across-the-board benefits for their long-term health and well-being.

Chiropractic care could be described in very similar terms. Chiropractic care provides more energy by allowing muscles and ligaments to relax and do their jobs properly. The result is increased alertness and increased reserves of strength to do all day’s tasks and activities.

Chiropractic care provides more flexibility by aligning spinal joints and increasing spinal ranges of motion. Hip joints, knees and ankles, and shoulders and arms all respond to the improved central ranges of motion. All physical movements become easier, freer, and more relaxed.

Chiropractic care improves health and well-being by improving communication between the nerve system and the rest of the body. When the body receives proper flows of information from the brain and spinal cord, it is enabled to function at peak effectiveness.

For maximum health, chiropractic care and yoga are a powerful combination.
