It is pretty ironic how the month of May this year is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month! Just last week we opened our office at Reclaim gym in Greensburg, IN, and if you’re looking for a state of the art facility with coaches and staff looking to guide you through the path of health, fitness, and sports performance this is the place to be! Check out what they have to offer here! Or check them out on Facebook! James Ogle started this gym a little over a year ago with a mission to improve the health and mobility of the community he calls home. The family oriented environment is contagious here, and it creates an inviting and also motivating atmosphere.
In regards to chiropractic care with physical fitness and health, the possibilities are endless! The greatest health care profession, chiropractic, is aimed at unleashing complete health, wellness, and the full potential of the human body on a musculoskeletal and neurologic level to allow for perfect body function.
For the body to function on a complete physical level you need to have proper muscle activation to move joints. You also need those joints to me moving properly in order to gain the greatest force producing movements possible. In order to have proper muscle activation the peripheral nerves which branch from nerve roots from the spinal cord from the brain must be able to conduct a proper signal so we can make certain voluntary movements. All of those components of this neurologic super-highway are protected by your skull and spine. Why is this the case? Well, the nervous system is the most important system in the body of course! It controls literally every single facet of our lives. Even when we aren’t actively making it work. Restriction within joints of the spine and extremities can sometimes lead to a reduction of nerve conductivity and thus a reduction in body function based upon what tissue or organ the nerve fibers will be sending impulses to. The video below will illustrate this more
Now what does all of this have to with physical fitness? Well aren’t muscles and all movement controlled by the nervous system? You got it! Now how does chiropractic come into play? Adjustments to the spine can help to create health in the spine and proper spinal movement which allows for proper nervous system activity. Interesting enough, chiropractors can also adjust different extremities to restore motion as well as perform therapies to correct biomechanics within the joints of your extremities. This will allow for you to achieve greater gains, greater strength, greater movement, greater mobility, and greater endurance within the gym or in sports. Needless to say, approaching your local chiropractor may be your best option if you are looking to improve your overall health and wellness through activity and proper nervous system function!
