Corrective Exercises

Chiropractic Corrective Exercises in Vernon Hills

Chiropractors in general, and especially our Vernon Hills chiropractor, are very concerned with the overall health of your body. Chiropractic practitioners know that without addressing the underlying problems, you will never be as healthy as you could be. Corrective exercises are a set of "blueprint" stretches and exercises that are chosen specifically to treat your condition and support your health.

What are Corrective Exercises?

Corrective exercises are specialized techniques designed to help your body attain and maintain ideal posture and form. Everyone has parts of their body that they are compensating for with other parts. In the short term, this works fine. However, over a longer period of time, the stress this places on the compensating part or parts of the body begins to show, usually as pain.

If you can learn to fully engage all of the parts of your body, the strain of daily life can be spread out across the body the way it is supposed to be. Corrective exercises teach you how to stretch and strengthen weaker or less flexible parts of your body so that they can contribute properly. Professional athletes, office workers, and everyone in between can benefit from these types of exercises.

What Do Corrective Exercises Work On?

Almost all injuries will benefit from corrective exercises at some point in the healing process. When you are injured, your body compensates for the injury. This helps take the strain off the injured body part so that it can heal, but it places an additional strain on other parts of the body. The goal of corrective exercises in rehabbing injuries is to rebalance the body so that every part is doing its job and no part has to do more than its job.

Corrective exercises are also very beneficial to people who have generalized pain issues from poor posture or sitting too long at the office. Retraining your body to use proper posture reduces the stress you place on it, and stretching and strengthening exercises help it tolerate the stresses that you cannot avoid. Your chiropractor can show you exercises that are specific to your needs and issues.

One of the things that you will learn from corrective exercises is the truly interconnected nature of the body. Sometimes, the best treatment for shoulder pain is actually to strengthen and stretch the hip, or something else unexpected. Our chiropractor will provide you with a set of exercises that will work best for your issues, whatever they may be.
