Athletic Performance Via Chiropractic

Athletic performance through chiropractic care?  Having the winning edge comes with specific training and making sure your body is functioning at its peak performance.  Regular practice in your specific sport can only do so much for you if your body is not working at full capacity.  The full capacity part comes without drugs, surgery or performance enhancing drugs!  It comes with regular chiropractic care.  Athletes are usually measured with how strong, fast, or talented they are which is focusing on the musculoskeletal system.  Chiropractic allows your musculoskeletal system to be functioning at 100% by directly focusing on the nerve system.  The nerve system is the master control system, it regulates and allows everything to function by making sure everything is properly connected.  

“I would estimate that at least 90% of world class athlete use chiropractic on a regular basis to prevent injuries and to improve their athletic performance” – Sean Atkins, Ph.D.  Athletic performance can be measured on overall function in an athlete.  Injuries, repetitive stress on joints, and overall developing the body to have optimal athletic performance can disable certain functions.  Seeking out regular chiropractic care enables your body to be at its peak performance.  Nerve dysfunction hinders athletic performance by decreasing response time, muscle development, and overall athletic ability.  Nerve dysfunction is what chiropractors are trained for to enable your athletic performance to be at its peak.  A vast majority of your nerves daily routine is firing and sending communication to your muscles.  Gravity is and will always plague the body in disproportional ways if nerve dysfunction is present.  This means using energy unnecessarily and in disproportion to your overall needs = decreasing your reaction time, healing, and overall metabolism.   Performance is directly related to your central nerve system and how your body interprets communication.  Function is only established with a clear communicating nerve system.  Look for the winning edge, enhance your athletic performance with specific chiropractic care.

Computer Posture

Computer Posture

Computer posture in our society is becoming a struggle as more and more individuals are sitting for an extended period of time at their desk.  Correct computer posture is key for a lifetime of proper spinal alignment and allowing your body to continue to work day in and day out without any problems.  So, here are some basic simple principles when sitting down on the computer for an extended period of time.  When visualizing your monitor it is key that the bottom of the monitor be slightly above your eyes or have the monitor perpendicular to your eyes.  If you are constantly looking down at the monitor you are placing stress upon the neck muscles.  The arms need to be at a neutral position almost in a 90-degree angle when typing on the keyboard.  Computer posture for sitting down should be with a slight curve in your lumbar region.  Make sure the curve is actually in your lumbar spine and not in your pelvis.  The feet need to be flat on the floor periodically moving them.   Limit the amount of leaning forward while looking at the monitor for this adds stress upon the neck muscles yet again.

Correct computer posture is key to longevity in your current profession.  Understand that sitting down on the spine is like sugar to the teeth, it adds up over time if done incorrectly.  Chiropractic allows you to function and enable correct computer posture by allowing your nerve system to function correctly.  Overtime incorrect computer posture will wreak havoc on the muscles.  This is in part due to the amount of strain that is placed on the muscles for having to compensate.  Remember you are always fighting gravity on a daily basis, it is your nerve systems responsibility to send proper messages to the muscles to make sure they are firing appropriately and working correctly.  If you are compensating with poor posture your muscles will be working harder and faster than they should be, which in turn can create nerve system dysfunction.  Regular chiropractic care allows your nerve system to be connected without dysfunction so your muscles work accordingly.  Proper computer posture teamed up with regular chiropractic care is a win-win!

Why Continue Chiropractic Care?

Why Continue Chiropractic Care?

The biggest chiropractic myth out there, is “why continue chiropractic care”?  If my body is “feeling good” why would I continue with regular chiropractic care?  Simply put, it is addicting to BE healthy and chiropractic care ensures that your body is functioning at its optimal potential.  Chiropractic is specific and personalized care for every individual, your nerve system is the only one you have so you need to treat it right.  A good majority of an individual’s first visit to the chiropractor is usually for some discomfort in the lower back region.  Let it be known that the very first chiropractic adjustment was not for lower back pain, it was actually to restore the hearing in a deaf individual.  Somewhere along the line of chiropractic the words lower back pain were commonly used together.  It is true that chiropractic care can help with lower back discomfort, it is also true that usually there is still an underlying reason of why your discomfort started.

Subluxation’s are what chiropractors are trained to locate and adjust specifically.  A subluxation applies pressure on a spinal nerve thus creating an entire central nerve system dysfunction.  The spinal nerve that is controlling not only your muscles, also controls your vital organs, cells, tissues, and glands… kind of important.  Usually, before you even exhibit signs of muscle pain you will have had signs and symptoms of other nature: constipation, infertility, poor energy levels, decreased quality of sleep (the signs are different for every nerve and for everyone specifically).  Imagine a subluxation as a cavity, taking years to manifest to its true potential until you are finally aware of it.  Unlike teeth, your nerve system regulates and controls all that you do in life.  Regular check-ups allow your body to be free of subluxations.

Why continue chiropractic care?  Once the signs and symptoms are diminished it is regular supportive care to that nerve system that counts to maintain proper health.   It’s like going to the gym for the first time and “trying” it out.  Do you just go to the gym one time and end there?  Regular exercise for the entire life-span is ideal!  Regular chiropractic care to support a healthy life through a healthy nerve system.  Get your nerves checked and begin regular chiropractic care.

Muscle Pain Is Caused From What?

Muscle Pain Is Caused From What?

Muscle pain is caused from what?  Before we go on with this blog let’s attack the known muscle pain that is often associated with a “Charley Horse”.  Charley Horses are often brought on after somebody directly or indirectly makes contact with their fist (or an object) to your arm, leg or other part of your body, thus resulting in a cramping sensation.  Muscle pain will often ensure after a Charley Horse.  So, now to talk about the other muscle pain that is chronic and often burdensome to others.  The musculoskeletal system is vitally important to maintaining life and allowing you to perform functions on a daily basis.  What wreaks havoc on our muscles?  Posture!  Poor posture is a catalyst for chronic muscle pain.  Look at our society and see how many people have desk related jobs where they are sitting for extended periods of time or constantly compromising their neck muscles while texting. 

As the story goes with chronic muscle pain there has to be an underlying reason why?  Enter the Nerve System!  The nerve system regulates and controls all other systems within the human body, and the musculoskeletal system is one of those.  The nerve system is protected by your spinal bones and within your spine you are supposed to have three curvatures when visualizing somebody from the side and then a straight spine when visualizing somebody from the front or back.  Subluxations within the spine occur without you noticing and take time to manifest until you actually notice a symptom such as chronic pain.  A subluxation places stress upon your spinal nerves which in turn creates a central nerve system dysfunction within your body.  Posture plays a key role in the creation of subluxations by creating improper curvatures within the spine.  As these improper curvatures continually progress your spinal nerves are disconnected from sending proper messages to organs, cells, tissues, and muscle.  Muscle pain progresses due to your body constantly wanting to walk straight and fighting the constant improper posture brought on by subluxations.  Your muscles begin over-firing on one side and under-firing on the other side of your spine or both sides can be constantly over-firing (everyone is different).  

By correcting the subluxations with specific chiropractic care your body is properly connected and transmitting messages to your muscles.  Restoring proper curvatures within the spine enables your nerve system to function at its optimal capacity which allows your musculoskeletal system to fire appropriately, which in time decreases muscle pain.  The body is an amazing structure, treating muscle pain with over the counter medication or potions only covers up the true underlying reason.  Have your nerve system evaluated and get checked for possible subluxations.
