Do This, Not That: 4 Chiropractic Habits to Maximize Your Health | Chiropractor Covington LA
At Wellness in Motion Chiropractic, we believe that spinal health isn’t just about showing up for an adjustment—it’s about how you care for your body every single day. To help you make the most of your chiropractic care (and avoid common missteps), we’ve put together a simple guide of "Do This / Not That" habits.
These small shifts in daily behavior can lead to big improvements in how you feel, move, and function.
✅ Do This: Prioritize regular adjustments to support spinal alignment and nervous system health.
🚫 Not That: Wait until you're in pain to seek care.
Think of chiropractic care like brushing your teeth—you don’t wait for a cavity to start caring for your dental health. Similarly, regular adjustments can help prevent issues before they become painful problems.
✅ Do This: Use proper posture when sitting and standing—your spine will thank you.
🚫 Not That: Slouch at your desk or crane your neck over your phone all day.
Good posture is a daily commitment. From workstations to scrolling your phone, small posture corrections add up and reduce strain on your spine and nervous system.
✅ Do This: Pair chiropractic care with stretching and movement for long-term results.
🚫 Not That: Rely only on adjustments without making lifestyle changes.
Your adjustment is just the beginning. Incorporating stretching, exercise, and mindful movement enhances your body’s ability to hold alignment and heal more efficiently.
✅ Do This: Stay consistent with your treatment plan to see lasting results.
🚫 Not That: Cancel appointments as soon as you start feeling a little better.
Feeling better is a great sign—but it doesn’t always mean your body is fully healed. Following your chiropractor’s recommendations ensures long-term stability and helps prevent relapse.
Final Thoughts
Chiropractic care is most effective when paired with intentional habits that support your spine throughout the day. By making small adjustments (pun intended!) in your posture, movement, and routine, you’re investing in your long-term health.
