Spinal Health: Live Better and Longer

 Most people want to get to live until mature age, and it only makes sense when you consider that the only true money we possess is time. Everything else is really only matter (and getting everything we want is just a matter of, time).

The problem is that not a lot of people take a good hard look into every factor that will guarantee them a good health to stay independent if and when they get to older age.

We sit incorrectly at the computer, at the table, and at the so-called ‘throne’, the bathroom toilet. We also tend to not pay attention to how we position on the bed when we want to fall asleep, and what we do in the mornings when we wake up. As if it was not important, we seem to not want to pay much attention to the most important thing when it comes to being able to move correctly later in life: Our posture!

Posture posture posture, we all need to let it properly seep into our bodies and minds.

Having good posture throughout the days of our lives can be the difference between being able to jog or run and play with our grandkids or friends, or feeling knee pain even when walking hurriedly. It doesn’t sound exaggerated, right? That’s because it’s not… at all.

Our spine is like the stalk of a growing flower, and too often we keep it bent and moving in unnatural patterns and ways.

The result is not to be felt immediately, because as you might have noticed or heard, lifeforms are tough and resistant, and us humans are evidently very evolved and tough lifeforms. But trust me when I say this: You WILL end up feeling them in the long run.

No human can avoid the effect of having incorrect posture without changing their biomechanical habits or going to a chiropractor, be it a chiropractor in Point Pleasant, a chiropractor in Brick, or a chiropractor in anywhere else.

So what do you need to do other than visiting the chiropractor and learning what you’re doing wrong, you ask?

Well, you need to concentrate in your body and be conscious of it. We make mistakes within our posture habits very often, and the reason is that some things feel more comfortable when done wrong. For example, sitting at a table using a laptop computer while maintaining correct posture commonly feels like one of those shows where a flying wall with a hole in the shape of a silhouette is approaching you quickly, and you need to copy the stance so as not to fall and lose. It is plain odd.

But guess what? It feels that way because you are not used to it, and once you practice, the posture will feel perfectly fine and comfortable.

Imagine the flower we mentioned before again. If you try and get it to stop being slanted and be fully straight in one move, you probably will fail. If you move it for a little time every day, you will notice that it starts to stay closer to its straight-up way more and more every time until it is completely pointing upwards.

Life needs the practice you give it in order to achieve positive changes.

So don’t wait any longer for that ache to appear in a part of your skeleton flower that’s full of life and dreams to cross off the bucket list.

If you want to live the life of your dreams, contact a chiropractor in Point Pleasant or a chiropractor in Brick now, and you will be on your way to a life of more activity options in the future to take on. Your body, mind, and soul will thank you. And that is the most important part.
