happy active senior woman outsideAs 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.

"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!"
Maggie P.
"I started coming here 5 years ago. At that time, I had difficulty walking down our hallway. With Dr. D’s care, I am at the gym 4x a week and yoga 2x a week. I will continue to come on a regular basis as part of my proactive healthy living plan. Not only am I grateful for the amazing care I receive here, but for the staff who now feel like family."

"Dr DeFrancesco is the best. I can’t say enough good things about him. He is a genuine and caring person. It is his help that has allowed me to continue to go to work every day and provide for my family. The staff is always super accommodating and pleasant to deal with. I have never received an attitude. When Dr DeFrancesco is not available, I am fortunate that he leaves me in the talented hands of Dr Wade and Dr LeFavor."
Robert Z.
"Great staff. Listen, understand, and educate you throughout the process. Flexible with scheduling and will do everything they can to accommodate you."

"I just finished my 30 session program and went over my x-rays with Dr. Wade. The improvement in my scoliosis shown in the x-rays was remarkable and corresponded with the greater mobility and wellbeing I have been experiencing. Dr. Wade is very professional and always willing to answer questions and address specific concerns. I highly recommend him."
Austin L.
"Dr. Wade and the front office staff are fantastic. The office is friendly and super efficient. I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes to be seen. Dr. Wade got my back feeling better. I’m feeling healthier and have much more energy."
Corey M.
"From the moment you walk into the office, you are welcomed with a smile and they even manage to remember every single patient's name. They treat you like family and put a lot of emphasis on your care. I started coming to this office when my son was about 4 months old and now at 11 months old, I have seen SO much progress with his neck that I myself started to see Dr D. and I am very grateful to have found such a wonderful place."
Nichole C.
"The single greatest team of professionals I’ve ever met and worked with. From the moment you step in, Brooke is absolutely wonderful and always so accommodating with scheduling and brings so much cheer to the office. Dr. Wade is a phenomenal doctor and completely transformed my back after a work related injury that showed underlying spinal conditions. I now am pain free in my day to day activities and back to my normal active lifestyle. Couldn’t recommend this practice enough to anyone and everyone."

"If I could give more than five stars, I wouldn't hesitate to do so. The office staff are all very professional and accommodating. There have been several instances where I had to make a last minute change to my appointment - either a cancellation or different time - and the office responded right away to make it happen. Not only this, but my appointments are always quick, yet very efficient. The doctors take their time in addressing my questions and explaining things so that I receive the best possible care."

"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."
Dylan H.
"I still can't say enough good things about Dr. D. and his staff. My level of care remains excellent and Dr. D continues to go above and beyond to take care of my family's health, even helping my daughter find and transition to a new chiropractor when she moved out of state. Truly a practice that cares about its patients!"
Lisa C.
"At my first appointment, I couldn’t stand up straight. I am now able to go back to my regular exercise routine. The staff is very knowledgeable, very friendly and organized. I have never had to wait more than a few minutes for my appointment, even when the office is very busy."
