The Impact of Diet and Sleep on Your Adjustment

 Do you experience a long recovery period after receiving chiropractic adjustments? 

Do you get enough sleep between appointments? 

Having a good diet and getting quality sleep provides your body with the tools it needs to heal; not getting enough of either can cause a prolonged recovery. To ensure your body is equipped to heal effectively, follow these two important steps:

Eat Well

By eating right, you provide your body with the proper nutritional components to heal. This will ensure
your body has the resources to heal tissues as efficiently and effectively as possible. Eating unhealthy foods risks inflammation in the body which can hinder your recovery.

Get Good Sleep

Sleep impacts the quality of our lives, and the recovery process is no different. REM sleep is an essential time of healing for the body! By getting quality sleep, you help your body understand the adjustments and heal faster than it would without. It’s common after your first adjustment to feel fatigued; this is a positive sign because it shows that the body is trying to heal and restore.

The Importance of Movement After an Adjustment

 Do you feel fatigued between chiropractic adjustments? 

Do you avoid working out between appointments to avoid potential injuries?  

Movement positively impacts your results, and this doesn’t necessarily mean a grueling workout requiring fancy equipment.

Move Between Your Adjustments 

A simple five-minute walk, a few times a day, can significantly increase the benefits of your adjustment.

Movement allows your muscles to strengthen and stretch, increases metabolism, and works your joints; even more importantly, it helps your spine! As we move, the discs between our vertebra move, allowing fluid in and out like a sponge; this helps your discs but also helps minimize swelling and inflammation that cause changes to nerves and impact the messages they send.
