Chiropractic care focuses on aligning the spine and nervous system to promote optimal health. While adjustments play a central role, additional strategies may help enhance overall wellness. At Stackis Chiropractic, we offer more than just adjustments; we encourage lifestyle changes and home exercises to support long-term health.
“The three main things that can really complement chiropractic care for long-term health and wellness are exercise, eating a well-balanced nutritional diet, and then just getting good proper rest.” – Dr. Jeff Stackis
Lifestyle Changes for Long-Term Health
Exercise, nutrition, and rest are essential in maintaining spinal health and complement chiropractic adjustments. Regular physical activity helps strengthen muscles and bones, supporting spinal alignment. We provide home exercise handouts to guide patients in maintaining core strength, which helps keep the body balanced and less prone to injuries.
A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients, such as protein and healthy fats, can further improve spinal health. Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D3 are two important supplements that may benefit the spine and nervous system, promoting overall well-being. Proper sleep is another critical factor—getting seven to eight hours of restful sleep each night supports the body’s healing process and maintains long-term wellness.
The Role of Nutrition in Spinal Health
Nutrition plays a significant role in keeping your spine healthy. A well-balanced diet helps prevent inflammation and nourishes the body’s systems. By limiting processed foods and focusing on whole, nutritious meals, you support spinal health and improve your body’s ability to recover after chiropractic adjustments. Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D3 are particularly beneficial for reducing inflammation and strengthening bones.
