Do you detect lethargy and muscle function loss? Elgin chiropractic care at Connected Chiropractic may increase strength, muscle function, and prohibit fatigue.
Do you increase the amount you exercise, but seem to plateau in how your muscles react when you need them? Connected Chiropractic knows these problems may be more noticeably important to some Elgin folks than others, like runners and sport athletes, but muscle strength and function absolutely affect the daily motions of life for all of us. Who wouldn’t want to have more muscle strength and function? Elgin daily life would only be enhanced if we have more strength to do all the activities we need to do!
Now, for the Elgin athletes, new research into the effects of chiropractic care suggests that chiropractic like that at Connected Chiropractic may have an important role to play in maximizing sporting performance and aiding recovery from a range of conditions where muscle function has been compromised. Fantastic news for Elgin athletes! More specifically, the New Zealand College of Chiropractic’s Centre for Chiropractic Research recently published a study in the journal Experimental Brain Research which demonstrates that following a full spine chiropractic adjustment session, there was a 45% increase in the ‘drive’ from the brain to the muscle (the degree to which the brain can activate that particular muscle) and improved nerve reflex. The results of the study also indicate that spinal adjustments can prevent fatigue. Therefore, the researchers recommend chiropractic care to be a part of medical treatment for patients who have lost muscle tone or are recovering from a muscle degrading dysfunction such as with stroke or orthopaedic operations. (1) Connected Chiropractic fully agrees and goes even further to recognize that normal Elgin folks can also benefit from a multidisciplinary – medical and chiropractic – approach to healthcare.
