Bottom Line
Your body is built to move, explains your local Chiropractor in Barrie (seems a little obvious, however many of us forget this simple fact). Every spinal disc and joint is designed to help you sit, stand, run and well…move! Your discs are soft enough to flex as you bend forward and back. The spinal facet joints slide as your turn and twist. The ligament-connected spinal bones keep you supported as your muscles push and pull. It’s an incredibly strong and resilient system when you stop and think about it!
Why it Matters
According to your Barrie Chiropractor, new research has started to give us a glimpse at just how important movement is in our life. For example, movement of the spine has been shown to stimulate and accelerate the healing process. In fact, movement is so crucial in the healing process that even people who have spine surgery are encouraged to get up and to move as quickly as possible after surgery.
– All the bones, muscles, ligaments and joints of your spine are specially designed to support movement.
– Movement of the individual segments of your spine can affect how you heal.
– Blood flow, strength, and flexibility are all enhanced through movement.
