The new year sparks a time for new beginnings and goals. As we plan for the new year, it’s important to consider how we can make this new year better than the last. One way to do this is by setting new year’s resolutions that will make for a happier and healthier you. When our bodies are healthy, our minds and spirits are healthier too. Coming up with new year’s resolutions on your own may be challenging. To help make your new year’s resolution planning easier, Alliance Orthopedics has compiled a list of the top new year’s resolutions for 2023.
5 New Year’s resolutions to Try in 2023
The new year is the perfect time to put bad habits to rest and replace them with ones that will benefit your health. At Alliance Orthopedics, we are committed to helping our patients achieve their health and wellness goals by providing them with the quality care, state-of-the-art modalities and educational tools needed to succeed. Consider these new year’s resolutions to start your new year off on the right foot:
1. Focus On Having Better Posture
Maintaining good posture is key to having a healthy spine and a healthy body. Poor posture may lead to neck, shoulder, and back pain. Improve your posture by avoiding slouching, sitting up straight in your chair, and keeping your shoulders relaxed when standing or sitting. Alliance Orthopedics offers chiropractic care to help keep your spine in optimal alignment. This new year, strive to focus on having better posture by visiting our office for regular adjustments.
2. Live a More Active Lifestyle
Exercise is an essential aspect of leading a healthy lifestyle. It helps to strengthen muscles, improves mood and energy levels, and increases cardiovascular health. Make a new year’s resolution to lead a more active lifestyle by engaging in physical activity like walking, running, cycling, or yoga 3-4 times per week. If you are new to exercise, start with small steps and gradually increase your activity level. Any amount of exercise is better than none!
3. Make More Time for Rest and Recovery
It’s easy to become overwhelmed with all the tasks and responsibilities that come along with leading a busy lifestyle. However, it is crucial to your mental and physical health to make time for rest and recovery. Take steps to incorporate more relaxation into your new year’s resolutions by scheduling rest days for yourself or engaging in activities like massage therapy or acupuncture. From weekend warriors to professional athletes, Alliance Orthopedics provides specialized treatment plans to help our patients maximize their performance and recovery.
4. Try Out Alternative Methods of Care
This new year’s resolution involves exploring new ways to approach your health. While traditional care methods, such as visiting the doctor or taking medications, may be effective, alternative methods may also help improve your overall health with fewer side effects. Consider trying new treatment methods like chiropractic care, acupuncture, physical therapy, and occupational therapy at Alliance Orthopedics. These methods of care may be able to provide relief from chronic pain or tension, improve your posture and mobility, and encourage overall wellness by addressing the root cause of your pain.
5. Prioritize Joint Health
Your joints are integral to your mobility, balance, and overall health. This new year, make a resolution to prioritize your joint health. Eat foods that are rich in anti-inflammatory properties and get adequate amounts of vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium to keep your bones healthy. Additionally, engaging in regular physical activity will help maintain your joint and muscle health as well as improve overall balance. Alliance Orthopedics offers several cutting-edge modalities and therapies to help treat joint injuries and improve overall joint health, including:
