Chiropractic care has been around for decades, with over 35 million people visiting a chiropractor annually in the United States.
Whether it’s to ease joint or muscle pain, minimize headaches or migraines, or improve posture or range of motion, chiropractic patients can benefit from the addition of resistance tools. Many chiropractors across the country use resistance bands and resistance products (like the MediCordz® line of rehabilitation equipment) to enhance the experiences of their patients. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of chiropractic care with resistance products.
If you’ve been reading our blog or following us on social media, you probably know that resistance tools are great for low-impact exercises that help to strengthen muscles, maintain flexibility and build muscle endurance. And as always, we recommend seeking the advice of your medical professional before trying any strength, conditioning or rehabilitation program.
When resistance exercises are performed or prescribed in tandem to chiropractic care, your body may be able to hold the adjustment longer, and your brain will work to get used to the adjustment.
Your doctor may suggest something specific to you and your needs, while offering a completely different option to their next patient. With rehabilitation and chiropractic treatment, each body, muscle and joint is unique from one person to the next, and so is the recommended treatment. This ability to target and customize can help you to focus energy where you need it the most, and the addition of resistance bands can aid in the ability to dial in your treatments.
As you become stronger, resistance bands are easy to swap out for different levels of resistance. The MediCordz® resistance tools come in 10 different levels to allow for more options and even more customization.
One of the most common complaints of chiropractic patients is neck and shoulder pain, due to poor posture and repeated hunched-over movements (think texting, sitting at your desk, driving, etc.). While a chiropractic visit can help to make adjustments to your alignment, tools like the MediCordz® Headset Kit can be used to strengthen neck muscles, working to improve head posture through cervical retractions.
