Exercise is essential to keeping the body healthy and properly functioning. The muscles that protect your spine and nerve passageways respond the same way your large muscles do, they get stronger when asked to perform tasks. Along with regular adjustments, the following exercises will help you hold your adjustments and speed natural progress.

These are only two of the many exercise programs suggested to Discover’s patients. Please consult with the doctor before beginning either program as your specific needs may require additional instruction.

For the upper body, see the Upper Body Stretching Program.

For the lower body, see the Lumbar Spine Stabilization Program.
