Benefits of Chiropractic, Health & Wellness

happy active senior woman outside As the heat of summer intensifies and humidity levels climb, the motivation to be active can decrease. While it may be tempting to stay indoors and take a break from your fitness routine, neglecting exercise can lead to weakened muscles, stiff joints and back pain.

Fortunately, chiropractic care offers a holistic solution to address these concerns and keep you feeling your best throughout the summer season!

Addressing the Effects of Physical Inactivity

During the summer, it’s not uncommon to feel less inclined go for an outdoor jog or even hit the gym due to oppressive heat. However, this lack of exercise can lead to physical health issues, including heart disease risk factors.

The spine and central nervous system work together to keep the body functioning properly. As such, any nerve interference can affect your range of motion, posture and overall movement. Our team of chiropractors can effectively alleviate aching joints and muscle weakness by helping you maintain proper spine alignment and musculoskeletal health.

Ways to Stay Active in the Summer Heat

While high-intensity workouts may not be the ideal choice in scorching hot weather, there are plenty of low-impact activities that can help you stay active while beating the heat.

Swimming offers a refreshing way to cool off in the summertime and is an excellent full-body workout that engages your muscles, without putting excessive strain on your joints. Incorporating activities like yoga, walking or gentle stretching sessions can also keep your body active and flexible during the summer months.

Chiropractic Care to Maintain Healthy Habits

From vacations and outdoor gatherings to all other summer festivities, it’s easy for your regular exercise routine to take a back seat. However, neglecting your physical health can have consequences that extend beyond the summer season.

Regular chiropractic visits can play a vital role, helping you address discomfort or pain caused by inactivity. Our chiropractors also provide guidance on proper posture and nutrition to ensure your musculoskeletal system remains in optimal condition.

When outdoor temperatures rise, don’t let the summer heat become an excuse to forego your exercise routine and neglect your health! By engaging in low-impact summertime activities and staying committed to regular chiropractic visits, you can ensure your body remains strong, flexible and pain-free beyond the summer season.

"There is no better place than Chiropractic Health Center, from the moment you step into the office, you are welcomed with a smile and they even manage to remember every patients name. They put a lot of emphasis on your care, you start feeling better with every visit. I would recommend this practice over any other possible treatment/office in the state."

"Best Chiropractic center in the State. I went to three chiropractors and none of them got my lower back back into place. I went to see Dr. D. and he snapped me back to normal in the first visit. Look no further. This place is the pinnacle of Chiropractic."

"I have been a patient for over a year and have seen terrific results from my plan of care. I was introduced to the office by a friend after I told him I was having back pain. The staff and doctors have been outstanding. They took some x-rays and ruled out certain things and put me on a plan of care that helped get me straight and pain free. I can't thank them enough."
Matt U.

"I started my chiropractic journey a few weeks before having my 3rd baby. They were amazing, patient and gentle during the pregnancy. They weren't pushy when I took my time, post pregnancy, to come back. They were amazing with my schedule and did everything to work with me. I felt so comfortable with them that I brought my new born baby and my 3 year old in to get adjusted!"

Catherine K.

"I strained my lower back a month prior to an Ironman race. I was unable to sleep, walk or sit, never mind continue training as planned. The entire office staff is beyond kind, caring, professional and runs extremely smooth. I was explained every step and procedure, along with a patient education class that really helped me understand what was wrong with my back and steps to fix it. Dr Wade was able to get me sleeping, walking and able to compete in my triathlon. 5 stars for many reasons and would highly recommend."

They treat you like family and put a lot of emphasis on your care.

Diane Z.

"I lost my cousin (who was also a lifelong best friend) tragically back in November and happened to mention it during an adjustment, and a few days later, I received a handwritten sympathy card from Dr. Joe and the team. Things like that go a long way! I recommend CHCG without reservation."
Maxwell T.

"Our family has been clients since 1994 and since 2005, we have been one of his long distance clients moving to New Hampshire! We have continued with monthly adjustments as he is truly The Best of The Best!"
Skip G.

"My whole family goes to Chiropractic Health Center of Glastonbury. My other half has been getting adjustments for years and he has been the driving force for the family to get checked out. He says since he has been coming here, if his back has any issues or is out, it seems to get better much faster than ever before. If you've had any problems with your back, you'll know that speaks volumes. We trust this group!"
