Just like in the movies, we would to love envision our movements playing with inspirational theme music. Funnily the theme music maybe playing but it may sound more like squeaks, pops, and groans.
Not too inspirational is it?
Do not fret, if you have found yourself promising that you will start working out and stretching soon, listen up and get ready to start limbering up for our new theme song – “Eye of the Tiger”.
Flight Checks On Your Joints
Some people experience increasing musculoskeletal joint stiffness as they get older. We find that our shoulders, knees, and ankles are not as flexible as they used to be. It has become more difficult to bend over and pick up a dropped object. We have noted that it is uncomfortable to turn our head around to see the car in the next lane. The bad news is that left untreated, our joints will get stiffer as we get older. Ignored, our joints will lose a large amount of mobility. However, the good news is there’s plenty you can do to help prevent this. You can regain and retain much of your youthful flexibility, but only if you are willing to be proactive.
Joints such as the shoulder, knee, and ankle are lubricated by synovial fluid. The Synovial fluid keeps the joints moist, provides oxygen and nutrition, and washes away toxic end-products of the normal metabolic processes. The joints in our spine are also lubricated and maintained in this way. However, aging reduces the amount of available synovial fluid. The normal aging processes also increase the thickness of the remaining synovial fluid. Essentially, you have less lubricant available and the lubricant that you do have is thicker. The unfortunate result is stiffer joints, throughout your entire body.
Setting Course
One way to combat such physiologic aging is to keep active. This is a pretty big task for the people of today, in a world in which most of our time is spent at a desk or sat down. Our bodies were designed for hard, physical work, but as we have evolved from an agrarian to a more industrial society, and in recent times from an industrial to a service-based society, the type of work has changed dramatically. When we are not typing on a computer, we are at home watching TV or playing games on our electronic devices. None of these activities involves any actual active motion. If we want to look after our bodies, we’re going to have to be proactive about finding the time to do so.
So let us create time for exercise. Almost any type of exercise helps synovial fluid to become more available which allows the synovial fluid to be pumped into joint spaces and increases the lubrication into the joints. Exercise also raises the core temperature of the body, which subsequently decreases the viscosity of synovial fluid. The end product is increased joint flexibility. This benefit is, more often than not, experienced immediately. The benefit will be long-lasting, but only if you continue to exercise regularly.
Flight Plan
Thirty minutes of exercise per day, 5 times a week, will help us maintain as much joint flexibility as possible. Switching between a cardiovascular exercise day and a strength training day is the optimal exercise program. Yoga can give a total body workout which uses cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and flexibility. The types of exercise you do are not as significant as the long-term consistency of the exercise. Regular, vigorous exercise, will provide great benefit, not only will it improve your joint flexibility, but it will also help to improve your general health and wellness!
We Can Help!
As we begin to get moving or have avoided moving due to the pain and restrictions you may need a helping hand.
Chiropractic care can be that hand (or two) that you need.
One of the great benefits and focuses of Chiropractic care is improved flexibility of spinal joints. A loss of the spinal vertebral motion can lead to spinal muscle tightness and pain, which generally results in various other physical problems. For example, headaches, lack of restful sleep, and increased irritability may all have a link with a loss of spinal flexibility. By increasing the mobility in your neck, mid-back, and lower back, chiropractic care helps your body function more efficiently. By removing the sources of the musculoskeletal irritation, chiropractic care can also reduce internal physiologic stress.
Need a little more TLC? Our expert team is also ready to help you with other joint challenges that may need a jump start to begin the healing process and to begin a supervised rehabilitation program.
So if you are ready to launch, call us today so we can help you restore optimal function for the smooth flight of life.

Healthcare in the US continues to deteriorate. Unfortunately, like a “boiling frog,” we are becoming more complacent as the costs for lower coverage insurance rises. These costs not only affect our wallets, but also the loss of time and productivity spent waiting at the doctor’s office. Waiting times can often be an hour or more. If unfortunately you suffer a problem that requires same-day medical attention, the waiting time at a hospital emergency room could easily range from several hours to more. Worse yet, what happens when you are suffering from excruciating back pain and you are offered a replacement of a degenerated intervertebral lumbar disc? Do you simply go for it knowing that success is not guaranteed or look at research on other options that have had great outcomes at a much lower cost?
When it comes to our health and health strategies we need to now become more prepared and critical of our options in case of an unforeseen health crisis.
Your Healthcare Bank Book
With the current financial situation, more and more are finding it difficult to keep up with the rising health costs. Those fortunate enough to have health insurance are able to cushion some of the monetary expenses. Even with an individual or family health insurance policy, annual out-of-pocket costs continue to rise sharply as monthly premiums, co-payments, and deductibles increase considerably each year.
With this in mind, we might consider getting a “personal” health insurance policy if we want to enjoy good financial health as well as good physical health. Your personal health insurance policy, which takes more work, involves taking action in the two main familiar lifestyle areas of one, diet and nutrition and secondly, exercise. A third lifestyle area, often ignored, involves our personal well-being. This area includes building increasingly positive family relationships and friendships plus developing a broader set of interests beyond one’s favorite television programs and virtual friend websites.
Lifestyle Matters
Lifestyle matters greatly to one’s long-term health and well-being. Numerous studies have shown that one in three Americans has one or more chronic diseases – diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. This not only effects with substantial costs to our personal and family costs but also at a price to society. We can help prevent these major health problems by implementing habits of good nutrition, regular vigorous exercise, and rewarding relationships and activities. Most importantly by engaging in healthy lifestyles, we are building a health savings account that will continue to grow and harvest many rewards for ourselves and our families in the future.
Creating the Fourth Area
A key to gaining the benefits from all the other lifestyle areas and activities is held in the fourth area – Chiropractic.
Chiropractic care is a comprehensive form of healing, which means that all aspects of a person’s health and lifestyle are taken into consideration for understanding how well your body is doing its job. This “job” is to interconnect all the various separate physiological activities – to make sure all your body’s systems are working harmoniously. The responsibility for this harmony lies with the nervous system. This master system controls every function in your body from your heart and lungs to your complete immune system. When a vertebra has shifted out of its normal position it places unwanted pressure on to our delicate nerve tissue. Over time, this “dis-ease” in our bodies becomes the disease. By identifying and correcting misalignments in the spinal column, chiropractic care helps ensure that your nervous system is functioning optimally. When your nervous system is functionally optimally the rest of your body has the opportunity to produce optimal health. The great result is that chiropractic care helps you get the most out of all your other activities and helps you gain and retain good health.
