Get Better Results Between Chiropractic Adjustments
At Electra Chiropractic, adjustments are just one piece of the puzzle.
The real goal is helping your body adapt, recover, and function at a higher level, not just when you’re in the studio, but in your daily life here in Tokyo.
To get the most out of your care, what you do between visits matters. The right tools can support your spine, your nervous system, and your recovery so your body actually holds the changes you’re making.
Here are a few of our favourite tools to help you stay consistent and get better results from your care.
1. Track Your Stress, Sleep, and Recovery
One of the biggest barriers to healing is unmanaged stress, physical, chemical, and mental.
Wearable tech like the Fēnix series watches from Garmin helps you track:
Heart rate and heart rate variability
Sleep quality
Training load and recovery
Why this matters: your nervous system can’t fully heal if it’s constantly in a fight-or-flight state. Seeing your data can help you make better decisions about when to push and when to recover.
2. Improve Circulation and Relaxation at Home
Recovery doesn’t just happen during your adjustment. In fact, most healing happens between adjustments.
Tools like the infrared Biomat can help your body shift into a more relaxed, parasympathetic state, where healing actually happens.
You may use this to:
Reduce muscle tension
Improve sleep quality
Wind down after long workdays or intense training
It’s especially helpful during Tokyo winters, when cold weather tends to make the body tighten up.
3. Keep Muscles Loose Between Visits
Adjustments restore movement to your spine but if you go right back to your old routines, your body will often pull you back into the same patterns.
A percussion tool like the Hypervolt from Hyperice can help:
Release tight muscles
Improve blood flow
Speed up recovery after workouts
It’s a simple way to maintain your progress between visits, especially if you’re active, training regularly, or sitting long hours at a desk.
Consistency Wins Out Over Quick Fixes
None of these tools replace chiropractic care.
But when you combine:
Regular, specific adjustments
Better daily habits
Supportive recovery tools
you give your body the best possible environment to heal, adapt, and thrive.
That’s when you start to notice the real changes:
Better posture
More energy
Fewer flare-ups
A body that actually feels good to live in
