Olympia Chiropractors Help Range of Motion

Our body's range of motion is incredible; however, throughout life, poor choices are made, injuries occur and you get older. These factors can limit your range of motion to the point where simple actions like bending over become a struggle. At a younger age, people don't appreciate their range of motion, and they come to the realization that when they grow older, small movements can become a struggle along with tightness and possible injury. Thankfully, you're in luck! Olympia chiropractors treat people for range of motion issues every day, and they want to help you too!

Range of Motion for Daily Activities

Everyday joint use is important. For example, joints help with brushing your teeth, tying shoes, reversing your car out of a parking spot or driveway. The fact is, you need a range of motion in your joints like your shoulders, elbows, wrists, spine, knees and neck to operate everyday. No one really thinks about if their joints are reaching their full range; however, injuries or wear and tear on any one joint can lead to everyday pain and a struggle with daily activities.

The Spine and Range of Motion

A common treatment done by Olympia chiropractic doctors focuses on the spine because a lack of range in your spine can lead to many physical issues. Spinal problems can result in carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, and back pain. Your discomfort and pain will only become worse the longer your spinal range of motion stays at an inefficient level. Vertebral alignment is also important to your range of motion. Everyone should visit a chiropractor in their lives to counter the numerous ways your spine can become misaligned.
