West Des Moines Chiropractor Encourages Exercise to Prolong Pain Relief

Chiropractors focus on the whole body, the whole person. A chiropractor studies to realize how the bones, muscles, nerves, spinal cord, senses and the brain all work together. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa has worked with our fair share of whole people in West Des Moines to relieve pain when the body is feeling down. Then, Executive Chiropractic of Iowa offers proposals on how to maintain pain relief and control, so the pain doesn’t return. Exercise is one way to prolong pain relief. (1)

First of all, such a whole person focus allows our West Des Moines chiropractor to understand your pain right away. We’ll get that your leg feels like it is on fire and that it feels like that because a nerve in your spine may be irritated or pinched. Your brain knows it. Your leg knows it. Your back knows it. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa’s chiropractor knows it. Once our chiropractic treatment plan tones down or gets rid of that irritation, our chiropractic care leans toward ways to ward off such irritation in the future. That’s where exercise often comes into play.

Exercise reinforces parts of the body to make the whole body stronger. The muscles are important to the body’s function and motion as well as to keeping the bones aligned and the spine blissful. Now, it’s even marked that exercise decreases the pain receptors’ production – dopamine and noradrenaline – for up to 90 minutes after you stop exercising. (1) What a boon for your pain relief!

So, exercise a bit when you are in pain. Don’t do anything until we talk about the right exercise for you, of course! But exercise complements your West Des Moines chiropractic pain relief, possibly giving you the between-visit remedy you want.
