How Chiropractic Care Supports New Year's Health Goals

As the new year begins, many people commit to shedding those holiday pounds by joining gyms and ramping up their fitness regimens. They also often recommit to their wellness goals. Chiropractic care can be an excellent way to support these goals and keep your body in tip-top shape.

Why Alignment Is Key to Achieving Your Health Goals

At the beginning of the year, Dr. Denn asks every single patient about their chiropractic goals and any other areas they’d like to change, modify, or improve.

Whether your goal is to exercise more, lose weight, or simply feel better overall, a well-aligned body is essential. Dr. Denn says, “When your body is aligned, you have the best ability to adapt to whatever goals you set—whether it’s diet, exercise, or quitting smoking.” Proper alignment means your body can perform at its best, so you can tackle new challenges with less risk of injury.

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Achieving Fitness Goals

Starting a new fitness routine, especially in January, can lead to soreness and injury if the body isn’t prepared. “I love this time of year because people are motivated to make positive changes,” Dr. Denn explains. By combining fitness goals with chiropractic care, patients can hold alignments more effectively, making adjustments more beneficial.

Dr. Denn suggests making small, sustainable changes, such as incorporating stretching and gentle exercise into your routine.

“Patients are often willing to try new exercises and stretches, making it easier to reach their goals and maintain alignments,” he shares.

Adjustments and Exercises to Support Your Resolutions

Dr. Denn frequently adjusts his patients’ treatment plans at the beginning of the year, adding exercises that align with their new goals. Chiropractic care can be part of a well-rounded approach to fitness, keeping your body flexible and preventing injuries as you work toward your resolutions.
