Weight/Strength Training and Chiropractic

December 9, 2021 by Dr. Todd Goldman

According to Livestrong, “chiropractic treatments are one of the most sought-after forms of alternative medicine. These treatments aim to help relieve back pain, readjust the spine, improve various body functions and help correct poor posture.”

Simply put, all the hard work you put in at the gym will mean nothing if your spine is out of alignment. Chiropractic care should go hand in hand with your weight and strength training for optimal results.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Weightlifters

As a weightlifter, when you are working on your gains, the last thing you want is to be sidelined by back pain or joint problems. Chiropractic care is great because it provides a safe, drug-free, and natural way to relieve pain as well as treat the cause of the pain at its source.

According to WebMD, “the theory behind chiropractic care is that your nervous system works best when the bones in your spine are aligned correctly, to benefit not just your muscles and joints, but all the systems of the body.” When your body is in optimal alignment, you will get the most out of your weightlifting routine. This allows you to train more efficiently, comfortably, and may boost your performance in multiple ways:

  • Improved nervous system performance:

    Visiting your chiropractor often and keeping your spine well-aligned improves the performance of your nervous system. This helps your brain coordinate movements and send impulses to your muscles more efficiently.

  • Healthier joints:

    The health of your joints will also improve by visiting your chiropractor regularly to ensure they are correctly aligned. This will lead to improvements in the performance of your muscles while lifting weights.

  • Treat minor problems before they become major injuries:

    Regularly visiting your chiropractor helps to identify and treat any minor issues you may have before they turn into major injuries. Additionally, your chiropractor can provide useful tips on safe weight training to prevent injuries.

Total Chiropractic Care and Wellness Can Help

It is clear that chiropractic care can do a lot to assist in strength training, but this is not the only way that chiropractic care can help with exercising. Exercise, specifically extraneous exercise, can put a great deal of stress on the body. When you are strength training, you are constantly pushing yourself to new heights. Chiropractic care is a terrific way to help your body deal with this stress. Your body will be adjusted to benefit from your workouts as opposed to becoming tense and sore.

Here at Total Chiro, we can help you have a positive experience with your exercise routine to motivate you to continue to work hard and reach your fitness goals. For more information, be sure to contact us today.
