Customized Exercise Programs

Dr. Bajakian believes patients can make greater strides in restoring their health by incorporating exercises that can be performed at home, with the goal of complimenting their Chiropractic treatment in our office.

Spinal misalignments, or SUBLUXATIONS, are often acquired much earlier than when the patient first starts to experience symptoms. These weaknesses in the spine often give rise to spinal distortions, that although subtle at first, they can become increasingly apparent as the years pass. Such visible signs could include a tilting of the head, a high shoulder, a high side of your pelvis (signs of this could be an uneven hem or one pants leg a little longer than the other), or even internally or externally rotated feet.

These postural changes are signs that the initial spinal SUBLUXATIONS have progressed to the point where the spine has changed enough to involve the muscles and tissue surrounding the spine.

With such musculoskeletal changes, correction under Chiropractic care is enhanced through corrective exercises. Our office prepares customized exercise programs to maximize the corrective forces of the spinal adjustments and to minimize the chances of the patients’ condition regressing as the spinal mechanics improve and the need for Chiropractic treatments become less frequent.

Remember, the conditions that we see in our office are so often due to years of spinal shifting. These weaknesses may be triggered by some random action or accident but they consistently occur in areas of the spine that have been weakened structurally prior to the most recent injury.

Corrective spinal exercises assist in balancing opposing muscle groups and in strengthening them so as to enable that patient to enjoy a much more active lifestyle with less worries regarding re-injuring themselves.

Our computerized exercise database contains approximately 2,400 exercises. Each exercise program includes detailed instructions on how and why the exercises are to be performed, the amount of repetitions and special notes from the doctor. A compliance page is also included so the patient can keep track of their progress to date.

Depending on a patients’ particular needs, Dr. Bajakian will design an exercise program that will ensure their maximum improvement while undergoing Chiropractic care.
