Step 4: Do weight-bearing exercises. Walking, jogging and resistance exercises such as weightlifting can improve bone density. Planks and squats can also strengthen core muscles. (Non-weight-bearing exercises such as swimming and biking can benefit the MSK system as well, especially for people unable to walk or jog while recovering from back, hip or knee pain.)

Pollock, of www.drkentencinitas.com, The American Chiropractic Association (ACA), as well as, chiropractors nationwide are encouraging the public to take steps to better musculoskeletal (MSK) health during National Chiropractic Health Month (NCHM) this October.
