What is Chiropractic ?
Chiropractic is, well, awesome.
Chiropractic is concerned with the communication between your brain and your body. All of the sensory nerves throughout your body collect and send information to your brain about what’s happening inside and outside of your body. The brain processes that information, then sends out motor commands to every system in your body, telling it how to respond and allowing you to adapt.
When a joint and the muscles around that joint aren’t moving properly, the messages being sent to the brain from that region can be interfered with. So your brain ends up getting information that is slightly inaccurate. The resulting messages it sends to your body on how to respond are also slightly inaccurate. Bad information in, bad information out. This disruption in accurate communication can lead to imbalances in all systems of the body, and overtime can lead to asymmetries and dysfunction.
Chiropractic care focusses on getting those joints to move properly again, enabling proper communication between your body and your brain, resulting in correct and accurate adaptation to the world around you.
Chiropractic Care for Athletes
Athletes consistently get chiropractic care, because it works. Both theoretically and practically. By making sure that your body is sending your brain the most accurate information possible, chiropractic helps you adapt accurately when performing athletic tasks such as running, jumping, lifting and tackling. Chiropractic care has also been shown to increase strength production, which our heavy lifters absolutely love.
