Align Your Spine - The Case For Chiropractors

My job and family have me on the road a lot, 4-8-11 hours at a stretch. Today is no different as I am leaving on a long commute before sunrise. The frequent 2 -3 hour trips to work takes a toll on my back, hips and legs. Everything gets kinked. Feel like a cowboy after a long day on the range (stiff and slow). How do airline pilots, bus drivers and truckers manage to feel good sitting for all of that time? Long periods of inactivity affect your circulation and your nervous system (think of a bent electrical cord with exposed wires) The signals to and from your brain travel up and down your spinal cord and when that gets "bent"  it cannot function like it should. That is why I am such a big fan of good chiropractors, they work miracles on me. Not only do their adjustments help me feel lighter, limber and more flexible, but the adjustments help my body internally too, allowing the nervous system to function, keeping my vital organs in touch with command central and help me get moving again. Twice a month at a minimum, more if you are feeling out of line. That and daily stretches will go a long way in helping you feel your best.
