A recent study showed chiropractic adjustments improve motor skills by 9.2%. Proprioception — your body's position sense — is enhanced by chiropractic care, reducing injury risk.
Increasing your competitive edge in sports and at work may be as simple as having a chiropractic adjustment. Proprioception is a fancy word for body position sense — knowing where your body parts are without looking at them. Our body's main position sensors are bundles of nerves in our muscles and tendons which constantly monitor and correct our posture for optimized movement.
Why does that matter? Consider these stats: A person averages 3,500 steps per day. A marathon runner takes some 55,000 strides per race. The average desk worker makes 6,000 keystrokes a day. With each movement your body spends energy and time making corrections to align each joint, muscle and ligament for optimum function. The more efficiently this system works, the more efficiently the task can be performed. Over time, even a 9.2% improvement could make a great difference — and help reduce injury.
A recent study showed that chiropractic adjustments improve motor skills in participants by 9.2 percent over those who did not receive a chiropractic adjustment. The key to this improved proprioception is fine tuning the communication between the body parts and the nervous system, resulting in quicker, more precise and efficient movements.
