It's common knowledge that our bodies require and benefit from exercise and movement, whether from activities of daily living, sports participation or a stick-to-it workout program. Like any complex piece of machinery, however, our body’s structural elements, bone, muscle and non-muscle tissue, will often, over time, suffer subtle positional changes or imbalances resulting in pain, soreness or limitations on movement. Unless addressed, these misalignments can compound the discomfort to a point where they begin to interfere with normal day to day activities.
Chiropractors have long understood that mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system can affect general health via the nervous system. Through training they are able to non-invasively identify structural imbalances and apply techniques designed to return balance to the affected parts.
