Rehabilitating your spine can be easy if you understand a simple model.  Joints, muscles and ligaments combine with precision and balance to provide motion and stability. However, when a joint is injured (the elbow for example), its primary movers (the biceps) become short to protect the injured joint. Muscles moving the joint in the opposite direction of the biceps (the triceps), become stretched out or longer allowing the biceps to shorten. This phenomenon is called reflex inhibition.

Your chiropractor will most likely recommend walking as an essential part of your recovery and of your overall health. Walking plays a vital role in exercising and strengthening your low back and whole spine. This is because it enables your entire body and spinal joints to move. It is a terrific weight bearing exercise – important for bone strength and reconditioning, and it is low impact – ideal for all ages!

Good nutrition is what we should do, what we don’t do, and what we do.

To run our cars we require fuel, and if we wish to prolong the life of our engine we’ll use the highest quality fuel to fill up. To maintain our energy and function we too need to fuel ourselves with good quality fuel.
