Tis the season! Tis the season for family and loved ones. Tis the season for giving, celebrating, shopping, and indulging. And indulging some more. Invariably the holiday season officially ends when resolutions have been made–and the number one resolution year after year? Lose weight! Did you know that chiropractic care can help with weight loss? Weight loss experts have long advocated for a complete approach when taking on a new weight loss regimen. We suggest starting with a call to your chiropractor in Longmont!
Obviously the mutli-dimensional approach would include a nutritional overhaul and a commitment to regular exercise. Both are critical. But, they work much better by adding another dimension—chiropractic care. Chiropractors make great weight loss advocates and whole healing allies! A good chiropractor knows the entire body (and mind) is connected and must be treated as an entire system. We offer more than just chiropractic adjustments. We offer an excellent support system for your lifetime of health and wellness. Our goal is to help you be the healthiest version of you!
How does chiropractic care help with weight loss?
- Subluxations of the spine can actually be a major contributor to weigh gain or the inability to lose weight even with diet and exercise. Remember that the spinal column is just a big information highway for your body. Any spinal misalignments will impair the signals controlling things like hunger.
- Pain can also keep many people from starting or maintaining an exercise program which, as we mentioned earlier, is critical for weight loss success and overall health. Spinal misalignment often results in chronic pain, discomfort, fatigue, and decreased range of motion. This can make it very difficult to start an exercise plan, much less continue with it long term. Chiropractic adjustments are the most effective way to get you pain free. Even if you manage to gain some exercise momentum you might end up feeling back pain, neck or shoulder pain, or other pain simply from the new routine itself. Chiropractic care can be just the thing to get and keep you pain free before, during, and even AFTER workouts (a chiropractic visit can be such a great relaxer post workout!). An added bonus of regular chiropractic care in conjunction with an exercise program is that a well trained and experienced practitioner will be able to spot any injuries or potential injuries right away.
- Don’t waste all your efforts in the kitchen by not even absorbing the nutritional benefit of your carefully constructed meal! Did you know that a misaligned spine can keep your body from effectively absorbing nutrients? That information alone is worth a regular spinal adjustment when you think of all the money we spend on quality foods and supplements.
- Losing weight will also shift your center of gravity thereby shifting the demands placed on various parts of your body from feet up to neck. Regular adjustments can keep your joints and spine aligned as your body shifts and changes.
