Research tells us quite clearly that chiropractic care can increase motor (muscle) control, alter movement for the better, process information coming into our senses quicker, and increase reaction time.
Improving the way a person controls their spine reduces their incidence of any kind of back pain. But it ALSO helps the brain maintain our balance and control posture. It helps us anticipate and “pre-load” the movements that we are going to need a split second from now and make those movements happen quicker.
All this means that we can prevent injuries the better our spines move. The brain can anticipate problems before they happen much more accurately and reaction times are much faster. This has huge implications for us not only in childhood but also as we age. Imagine as a senior citizen having a reduced chance of falling or tripping because our brain’s ability to anticipate movement is still very effective!
Chiropractic care is not just about relieving low back and neck pain. It’s wonderful for that, don’t get me wrong. But that’s just a super side effect of having a clear connection between your brain and body, the result of chiropractic adjustments.
