Chiropractors focus on the whole body, the whole person. A chiropractor studies to grasp how the bones, muscles, nerves, spinal cord, senses and the brain all work together. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn has worked with our fair share of whole people in Ashburn and Herndon to relieve pain when the body is unwell. Then, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn offers information 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 Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor to "catch on to" 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. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn’s chiropractor knows it. Once our chiropractic treatment plan turns down or does away with that irritation, our chiropractic care leans toward ways to fend off such irritation in the future. That’s where exercise often comes into play.

Exercise invigorates 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 on cloud nine. Now, it’s even recorded 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 Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic pain relief, possibly giving you the between-visit support you want.
