Have you ever forgotten how to do a simple math equation or looked a word and it simply looked incorrect?
These are functions of our conscious mind. Self help books reveal how to improve our memory, increase our vocabulary or sharpen our mental acuity. These books may help because, as we all know, our conscious mind is prone to making mistakes. Sometimes, a lot of mistakes!
But there’s no book filled with tips about how to improve your heart’s response to adrenalin or how to enhance your lung’s ability to oxygenate blood! Why? Because these are just two examples of millions of functions your body controls and regulates continuously with not a single conscious thought from you.
How does this relate to a headache, back pain or the crick in your neck? Your body is programmed to survive. Virtually every sign or symptom that we traditionally think of as an illness is merely your body’s best attempt to keep itself alive. No errors. Zero mistakes.
When your body feels threatened, it responds in a variety of ways to get your attention. To encourage you to change. To teach a lesson. To tell you its capacity to accommodate or adapt to stress has been exhausted.
That’s an amazing concept. Even radical. And to think, all of this is controlled and regulated by your nervous system—whose integrity and function for us is it top priority.

As more and more of you find yourself outside doing physical activities, it is important to make sure that your body is in the best position to take advantage of all your hard work. Whether you are running as a sport, hiking, cycling or simply going for a walk, you need to appreciate the importance of keeping your body in the correct alignment for the most enjoyment with maximum benefit.
A Healthy Investment
In order to get the most out of the valuable time you spend exercising, we want to ensure that your musculoskeletal system is working effectively and efficiently. Bones, joints, and muscles need to be able to go through a full range of motion in order to exercise properly. Any limitation of mobility might cause an injury, which would not only be painful but would set back your normal exercise schedule.
A healthy spine and posture is so important and especially critical for athletes, or anyone who exercises regularly. Many people are unaware that they can have a difference of 2 to 10 pounds in their weight distribution. Add the pressure of running, riding or any other sport and over time and major damage can occur.
Regular chiropractic care is designed to create balance in the body and helps you enjoy a full exercise program and reap all the benefits that exercise brings by helping make sure that your muscles, bones, and joints are working to their best ability.
What the Research Says
Research today is now proving what thousands of happy chiropractic athletes have been enjoying for decades.
In a study of 50 athletes, chiropractic athletes improved 16.7 per cent, including a more than 30 per cent improvement in reaction time, after 12 weeks. The study concluded, “That [chiropractic] athletes react faster, have better coordination, executes fine movements with improved accuracy and precision, amounting to an overall better athlete.”
Get A Check-Up!
If you are partaking in a sport that includes running, where efficient coordination of movement is paramount, a chiropractic checkup should be vital to see if you are getting the most out of your efforts in both training and racing. If you are in competitive running sports we further recommend a chiropractor who uses X-rays to accurately assess pelvic alignment and leg-length difference, which are extremely important to running at your peak potential and avoiding unnecessary injury.
Remember regular chiropractic care supports all your exercise activities. The converse is true as well, regular exercise helps support chiropractic care.

Nearly every adult today has experienced some form of back pain in their lifetime. Whether the pain was caused by lifting something awkwardly or from strenuous activity. More often than not this pain will subside after a period of rest, if it is purely muscular pain. However, spinal disc injuries cause more of an extreme pain and are usually described in many different ways. The pain experienced by a spinal disc injury has also been compared to the pain of child birth. The understanding of what the discs in our back do and how they work are extremely important in treating spinal disc injuries.
What is the purpose of Spinal Discs?
Situated in between our vertebrae are pads called the intervertebral discs. These discs contain a gel-like soft center and a stronger outer shell. They are attached to our vertebrae and act as separators. These discs are extremely effective shock-absorbers which offer a guard to prevent the bones rubbing against each other when we move. The discs in our spine keep it strong and supple.
A protruding disc occurs when the gel in the disc begins to push out against the ligamentous wall of the disc, but does not compromise or tear the wall. Two thirds of pain free adults have one or more protruding discs within their spine. A herniated disc is when the gel in the disc pushes out and starts to tear through the first layers of the ligamentous wall. This movement of gel can cause irritation of the nerve, inflammation and often severe pain.
One of the more serious conditions is called disc extrusion, sometimes known as a ruptured disc. This occurs when the gel of the disc breaks all the way through the ligamentous wall. When this gel leaks out of the disc it can cause extreme back pain and significantly reduced movement.
