Prevent Injuries by Balancing Joint and Muscle Health And Simultaneously Improve Brain Health
August 31, 2023
When our body is out of balance, we don't feel our best. This also interrupts our brain function. When one area of our body is out of balance, it puts more strain on another portion, increasing the potential for injury. One example is when our upper back (thoracic) is tight, we may put more strain on our neck and also on our rotator cuffs. This lowers the threshold for injury and even performing a small task that would typically be simple could cause problems.
How can we achieve balance? Balance in the body occurs when your muscles are balanced in strength and pliability, and your joints are mobile and unrestricted. What often happens for most people is that their joints become stiff and are no longer able to move through normal ranges of motion and our muscles have to tighten to maintain as much motion as possible while continuing to feed our brain important information, known as proprioception, about our joints and muscles. Another term for this is compensation, and it requires a lot more energy and effort from our body, often causing tertiary symptoms such as problems with sleep, coordination, walking, pain, brain fog, headaches, and more.
How can we fix this? Chiropractic Neurology is a neurological approach to evaluating and treating all parts of the body, muscle, joint, nerve, and brain to create balance within our systems. This creates optimal balance and function! We can prevent more injuries and improve the overall health of your brain and body through Chiropractic Neurology.
