Some studies conducted by ProActive Chiropractic and Appleton chiropractor, Dr. Jason Litwin, have been carried out to determine whether there is any relationship between chiropractic care techniques and yoga. The question would be, is chiropractic related to yoga as far as the benefits of the two to the patient are concerned? Well, the study results suggest that chiropractic patients can benefit from yoga, and this has actually attracted many people to do yoga in the whole world over.
Exceedingly interested
Millions of people are now practicing yoga, and approximately twelve percent of the world’s population is exceedingly interested in it. You may tend to wonder also why some people whom practice yoga believe that all their health
problems can be handled by chiropractor doctors.
Many poses and styles
Just like chiropractic, yoga has many poses and styles that can be used to address numerous fitness and health needs. Therefore, chiropractic patients who enter into yoga will get physical benefits that will help them get well quickly. They will achieve increased strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance. In fact, some athletes do complement their chiropractic and yoga routines with their usually repetitive training motions. At the same time, the same advantages are very valuable to those people who are less active but just want a way to increase their day’s movements.
Limiting the minds activities
Yoga, by limiting the minds activities and focus on the current moments, offers a natural remedy for the reduction of stress and blood pressure. For those of you who may have body image issues or personal crisis, it can lower anxiety as well as help create a much more accurate self-awareness.
Complement to Chiropractic:
Enhanced neurological performance
You must bear in mind that chiro care is aimed at enhancing your neurological performance by making the relationship between your spine and the other related structures. Once subluxations (functional relationships) are enhanced, yoga comes in handy to make the supporting muscles stronger via a sequence of poses (referred to as asanas) that are designed to enhance a patient’s strength and posture.
Folding poses
Such folding poses as Uttanasana help to calm your central nervous system and enable the cervical, lumbar and thoracic sections of your spine to decompress and stretch. The Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge) poses raise the motion range by moving your spine specifically in an opposite direction. For those of you who slouch at workplaces throughout the day (or for long durations) the eagle poses help them to open the shoulders and the cervical spine. Besides, the reverse Namaste helps draws their arms behind their backs so as to open their chests.
Alignment of the spirit, body and mind
Also, the poses assist in the alignment of the spirit, body and mind as people learn how to limit the influence of overwhelming thoughts. This is achieved via a flowing utilization of poses in such a way that one finds some kind of rhythm and is able to detach from such thoughts.
