One reason why a healthy spine is so important for athletes and your brain is that when one of your spinal segments doesn’t move properly, it changes the way your brain perceives and responds to all other sensory information that enters your nervous system. If your spine isn’t moving in a normal or ideal way it changes the way your brain controls your body.
New research has recently shown that chiropractors are very good at figuring out which segments in your spine are most restricted or stiff. We can then adjust your spine using specific spinal adjustments to help restore normal movement patterns in your spine with the aim of helping your brain to better control your body. Scientists have shown that chiropractic adjustments can have a big effect on how well your spine moves. They’ve also shown that chiropractic adjustments can help your brain to process information more quickly, know where your body is in space, and control the way your muscles work. All things that are vital for reducing pain and optimizing athletic performance.
