Biomechanics...The Science Of Movement

Motion is absolutely essential to achieving your maximum health potential. Let's lay down a few examples. Everyone knows that exercising is one of the best ways to lose weight, increase vitality, improve cardiovascular health, even reduce risk of cancer. So why do you get so much benefit from exercise? Well one important reason is exemplified through research that indicates if we put our spine through full, active range of motion every single day we could add YEARS, if not decades, to the life of our spine. Sounds simple right?

The real science is in why this occurs. The joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments are all loaded with "mechanoreceptors". These "sensors" send information to the Cerebellum (part of the brain) which relies on this critical information for it's own function. From there, the Cerebellum talks to the rest of the brain which turns around and directs the body on how to work. So to put it simple, the BODY drives the BRAIN which drives the BODY! Consistent with most other processes of living organisms, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the body was "designed" in one piece. In other words, the chicken AND the egg arrived at the same time!

If you want these mechanoreceptors firing at their maximum and most accurate levels, you should have both exercise and Chiropractic adjustments as a regular part of your wellness routine.
