Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special “blueprint” exercises to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

7 Great Reasons to Do Corrective Exercises

1. They Can Increase Your Strength and Endurance

You can use corrective exercises to develop and strengthen targeted muscle groups to improve your overall strength and endurance. You will never have to put additional stress on your spine or overwork those muscles.

In fact, increasing your muscle strength and endurance can help reduce pain and prevent future injury. It can also help increase your energy levels and keep your bones dense and strong.

2. They Can Increase Your Blood Flow and Circulation

Increasing blood flow and circulation ensures that blood and oxygen continuously flow throughout your body. Better circulation can keep your heart healthy, reduce swelling, and help to heal wounds faster.

Corrective exercises can keep your veins open to increase blood flow and circulation. These exercises can, therefore, help lower your blood pressure and improve your cardiovascular performance.

3. They Can Correct or Fix Your Posture

Having a good posture can reduce your pain, boost your energy levels, increase your confidence, and reduce the risk of injury. Bad posture, on the other hand, can cause spinal dysfunction, joint degeneration, back pain, and rounded shoulders.

You can use corrective exercises for bad posture, such as cobra stretch, shoulder retraction, cervical retraction, core strengthening, etc., to correct or fix your posture over time.

4. They Can Improve Your Movement

Corrective exercises address movement dysfunctions and imbalances to enhance joint mobility and overall movement quality. That is why they improve functional performance.

For example, if one muscle group over-compensates for another muscle group, then the target muscle group will not be able to function at peak capacity. So, you can use corrective exercises to reverse muscle imbalances.

5. They Can Help Reduce Your Pain

Living with pain can interfere with your daily activities. It can also lead to anxiety and depression, and make it hard to get enough night’s rest.

You do not have to rely on pain medications. Instead, use corrective exercises.

Corrective exercises are not used to treat pain. However, they can help reduce the severity of your pain. So, you can combine corrective exercises with chiropractic adjustments to reduce your chronic pain.

For example, if poor movement is the cause of your pain, then you can use corrective exercises to improve your movement. Improving your movement helps to reduce your pain.

6. They Can Reduce the Risk of Injury

Exercise can cause an injury. If you have been participating in regular exercise, then you might have suffered an injury at some point. A workout injury can set you back big time. And it will take longer to reach your fitness goals.

If you want to reduce your risk of injury, you can use corrective exercises to strengthen targeted muscles, strengthen your joints, improve your mobility, and increase your joint and muscle flexibility.

Corrective exercises can help strengthen your body to reduce the possibility of further injuries.

7. They Can Improve Your Athletic Performance

It is possible to use corrective exercises to improve your athletic performance. How? Use corrective exercises to strengthen your weak, underutilized muscles.

You can also use these exercises to increase your range of motion and relieve stiffness in your joints. You will, however, need to choose a corrective exercise, depending on your individual fitness goals and sport.

You just have to choose a corrective exercise to correct what is holding you from peak performance.
