Gravity is a constant force on the body if we like it or not. Every day that you get out of bed, the pull of gravity is acting as a stressor on your body. It pulls on the joints, the ligaments, the muscles, tendons, organs…every part of your body. As we get a little older this stress starts to take its toll on the body, especially the joints. One name that we put on the consequences of this stress is arthritis.
As we get into our later years it is important to give our bodies a fighting chance against gravity. One way we can do this is to maintain proper alignment in the bones and joints of our spine. Improper alignment or poor mobility (like not being able to turn your head) can create pain, weakness and even instability in the body.
If you are a baby boomer and are suffering from any joint or muscle problems you need to be seeing a Bellevue chiropractor. A Bellevue chiropractor can relieve the stress from improperly working joints and muscles of the body, to allow you to move at your very best!
A great way that I like to think about how gravity wears the body down is to compare it to my car. Just a month ago I had to go in to get my tires rotated. As they looked at my tires they let me know that one side of my tires was very worn in comparison to the other side and this was most likely due to a front end misalignment. They also said that a “realignment” would take the problem away and I would not go through as many tires. The same holds true for the human body. If our “frame” is misaligned then our “tires” will also wear. Lets do a test…take your shoes off and look at the bottom of your shoes. Is there any wear on one side or the other? This wear is most likely due to a misalignment.
If you find that you have any wear in the bottoms of your shoes please consult with a chiropractor today to see if you are a candidate for chiropractic care.
