Making Your Chiropractic Adjustments Last

Depending on your behaviors after you visit Dr. Argeropoulos’ office, the effects of your treatment can last days or a few hours. Fortunately, you can extend the numerous positive results of your treatment by following some of these simple tips:

• Maintain Good Posture – Poor posture can contribute to muscle tightness, spinal misalignments, and other uncomfortable symptoms. While you may feel great after an adjustment, your results won’t last if you spend hours hunched over at your desk or slouching. Be mindful of your posture to avoid pain and damage to your spine and extend the benefits of your chiropractic treatment. 
• Take Breaks – Improving your posture can help keep your spine properly aligned, but you may feel pain if you spend many hours at your desk or standing at work. Add breaks to your daily schedule to help avoid pain and discomfort. 
• Ergonomics – Slouching is sometimes unavoidable, but sitting in ergonomic chairs or using a standing desk can help reduce your neck and back pain and minimize your aches and pains throughout the day. 
• Exercise – While strenuous exercise after an adjustment is not recommended, low-impact exercise can keep your muscles loose and improve your flexibility. Our chiropractor in Selden NY can recommend exercises to improve and maintain the flexibility of your muscles. 
• Hydrate – Increasing your water intake for the days following your treatment can help your body eliminate the toxins released after your treatment. Water can also help improve joint lubrication and keep them more flexible.
