Corrective Exercise

What Is Corrective Exercise?

Corrective exercises are specific movements and stretches designed to address muscular imbalances, improve posture, and support your chiropractic treatment plan. At North Port Chiropractic, our doctors create customized exercise programs tailored to each patient's unique needs and condition. These exercises are designed to complement your in-office treatments and accelerate your recovery.

Why Are Corrective Exercises Important?

While chiropractic adjustments restore proper spinal alignment, corrective exercises help maintain those corrections by strengthening the muscles that support your spine. Without proper muscular support, misalignments are more likely to return. Think of it this way: chiropractic adjustments are like straightening a fence post, while corrective exercises are like packing the soil around it to keep it straight.
