Chiropractic and Exercise

Combining chiropractic care with home exercise is a great way to improve your health and increase your overall wellness. Whether you are suffering from a chronic condition or just hoping to maximize your body’s potential, Dr. Christopher Brill of Therapeutic Solutions LLC can help you develop an exercise plan for better health.
 
Exercise has many benefits, especially when combined with chiropractic treatment. Many studies have shown that it is an effective way to manage both acute and chronic lower back pain and other conditions, helping patients to keep working while improving their overall quality of life. In addition to helping with injuries, regular home exercise also keeps the muscles in proper tone, promotes circulation and can help your body function better as a whole.
 
Strengthening your muscles has direct and indirect benefits on your health, including increasing your ease of movement, improving posture and stabilizing your joints, as well as decreasing your risk of falls and injuries. Including exercise as one of his 12 rules for longevity, Dr. Brill recommends at least 15 minutes of exercise a day.

History of Chiropractic Care

Although chiropractic techniques are commonly used today, they are rooted deep within our world history.   Some of the earliest writings in the history of recorded time mention using spinal manipulation to relieve lower back pain.  These techniques are mentioned in ancient Greek and Chinese writings dating as far back as 2700 B.C.  During Hippocrates life, 460 to 357 B.C., he published texts on the importance of chiropractic care in preventing disease.


The history of chiropractic care in the United States doesn’t begin until 1895, when Daniel David Palmer founded the profession by merging science and metaphysics.  Daniel David Palmer spread knowledge of chiropractic care techniques by founding the Palmer School of Chiropractic, a college that continues to be one of the most prominent chiropractic schools in the nation.  Now, doctors of chiropractic have gained legal recognition throughout the United States and are proven leaders in non-invasive healthcare.


Chiropractic care continues to grow and gain support as a cost-effective means of caring for your overall health.  I encourage patients to visit my practice and learn more about how the chiropractic techniques that can be traced throughout history can help you find lasting relief and wellness.
