Maintenance

The Doctors at Advanced Chiropractic recognize that chiropractic care can enhance an athlete’s performance through the maintenance of proper spinal mechanics. Just about everyone can benefit from regular posture checks and spinal manipulation. The reason is simple: identify joint dysfunction which includes tight muscles and changes in posture BEFORE they affect your ability to respond to daily stress. Remember, just because you’re not in pain doesn’t mean you’re not susceptible to an injury or joint dysfunction. Consistently applying the appropriate amounts of decompression manipulation to the spine can enhance proper joint mobility and slow the aging process. We know that this is a bold statement but, keep in mind that the joints of the spine receive nutrients through pressure changes. Thus a decrease in spinal pressure allows water to re-enter the joint and rehydrate the disc. Degeneration of a disc usually is the result of constant compression which pushes water out and literally “dries” the disc up. The result is premature aging of the joint.
