Chiropractic Care May Improve Your Clumsiness (or Your Child’s)

People With Mild Neck Pain Found To Have Difficulty With Coordination In Their Arm… And Amazingly Chiropractic Restores This Ability.

 

Chiropractic Treatment Causes Significant Neurological Changes, Not Just In The Pain System.

This short video talks about the effects of a chiropractic adjustment and how we may suffer other consequences from a problem that is causing even mild neck pain without ever being aware of these other issues.

Most people see a Chiropractor for some painful condition ranging from whiplash to sports injuries, back pain, arthritis, sciatica, disc injuries, … etc. Of course Chiropractic helps these spinal problems as well as other types of injuries to the extremities.

This is because of Chiropractic’s phenomenal success with these types of painful problems.

There is a lot more to the story though!

Other studies have shown Chiropractic Care can help many things not typically thought of as a benefit of Chiropractic treatment…

Things like improved visual acuity, visual field size, reaction times, brain activation, brain processing, sensorimotor integration, joint position sense, spinal function (normally considered the domain of chiropractors), muscle strength, and prevention of muscle fatigue!

Wow, that’s an impressive list!

However some of the changes these and other problems cause in the nervous system are unconscious, we often don’t realize that they are effecting us in many other ways.

This simple study illustrates this idea so well.

The people with mild neck pain were unable to have the same coordinated movement as those without the neck problem.

Their brain could not tell where their arm was in space accurately without looking at it.

This restored with a simple chiropractic adjustment.

The brain was better able to know where their arm was in space without having to look at it.

This could be expected to reduce risk of injury from falls or sports.

It also might be expected to help improve sports performance because the accuracy of an athlete’s movements might be improved in the same way.

The obvious implications for this could be expecting that chiropractic care could help people move better and more accurately… becoming less clumsy.

Relating this back to what we see in our Texarkana Clinic, people are often better able to move and stabilize themselves when comparing pre and post treatment.

We can check this in our office using a few simple tests.

In other words, we see this for ourselves in our patients.

In fact, we’ve seen kids because the parents mentioned to us that they were clumsy.

Being ‘clumsy‘ is an indicator of a problem just like pain, stiffness, or muscle spasms.

If our body is functioning properly then we are not clumsy.

The reality is that this can be more serious than you would think.

Problems generally don’t just go away… they tend to get worse and cause other problems so it’s always best to improve the problem as early as possible.

Obviously this can be tough because often we don’t realize there is a problem until we’ve already had it for some time.

This is why we recommend coming in to find out how your body is functioning.

Think about it this way, you may go periodically to the dentist or eye doctor to get checked and make sure those areas of our body are functioning properly and not becoming a problem so that you can address any potential problem early before it becomes more serious.

Shouldn’t your nervous system and it’s effect on the musculoskeletal system also be checked?
