The founders of the healthcare delivery system known as chiropractic hypothesized that if a spinal bone misaligned it was capable of compressing a nerve thereby decreasing the function of what the nerve was supplying. New research points to changes in the motion of the spinal joints decrease the firing of “position sense” of our nervous system. This is followed by a decrease in involuntary spinal stability. We then experience an impairment of how we move and sense our environment. All of these things we take for granted but is very important in protecting us from injury. Chiropractic spinal adjustments increase the mobility of our joints restoring are proper natural stability. This plays out in real life. 9 out 10 people who report an acute onset of back pain report no injury. These folks simply report “putting my shoes on”, “I bent over to brush my teeth”, “I just got out of bed”. Sound familiar?
