Chiropractic care can help improve your flexibility and range of motion. A study in the Journal of Chiropractic & Manual Therapies showed that chiropractic adjustments provided measurable
improvement in the movement of the neck for people who had a loss of normal range of motion between the vertebrae in their spine. A study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological
Therapeutics found that chiropractic treatment helped to increase the range of motion in the cervical spine. These studies show that having regular chiropractic care can help you to increase and maintain flexibility and range of motion.
Chiropractor care improves the range of motion in your joints through chiropractic adjustments of the subluxations or restrictions in the spine. These restrictions are often due to unavoidable
repetitive activity such as sitting at a desk for work. As well as increasing flexibility, chiropractic can help to reduce pain and improve function.
If you find it difficult to put your chin to your chest, tilt your head back or turn your head to the left or right, you could benefit from chiropractic adjustments to help improve your range of motion
and decrease the chance of injury. Specific exercise recommendations and ergonomic modifications will support optimal alignment from the chiropractic adjustments.
