Enahnce the quality of your life by caring for your spines - a modern lifestyle requirement.
Human beings were never designed to sit for long periods of time. Yet from the time we start school we engage in this harmful activity on a daily basis, often for hours on end. Prolonged bouts of sitting are an unfortunate consequence of our modern lifestyle and it's having a disastrous effect on our bodies and on our state of health as a society.
Almost every function in the human body is affected and moderated by our posture, everything from breathing to hormone production to thinking. Altered alignment resulting from poor posture and prolonged sitting not only creates faulty mechanics which leads to bone, ligament, muscle and joint degeneration but, it robs the brain of one of its essential nutrients and predisposes us to Movement Deficiency Syndrome.
Over the past 100 years we, as a society, have learned to enhance and prolong the quality of our lives with daily oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. Brushing and flossing our teeth are not a genetic requirement; they are a modern lifestyle requirement. Isn't time we began implementing similar strategies for our spines?
At Wellness Works Chiropractic, we recognize the fact that all environmental factors combined, including sedentary living, account for the majority of chronic health conditions in the United States. We understand that eliminating all the postural and sedentary lifestyle-related issues caused by modern industrialized living is an unrealistic goal. We empower our practice members to counter the effects of these toxicities by implementing targeted spinal hygiene exercises just as brushing and flossing counter the effects of the modern diet.
