When rubber bands dry out, they'll get brittle and snap.
If we were actually able to rehydrate them and retrain them, we could probably gain some better flexibility out of them.
Your muscles in your body are very similar.
In fact, what happens when the body is out of alignment is you'll get muscles on one side of the body that are really overstretched -- that can cause a problem because that can create instability and cause greater risk of injury.
On the other side of that imbalance, you get the muscles that are super tight, and when the muscles are tighter, they're almost weaker because you don't have to move very far before you can actually get them to snap, too.
And a lot of people will get pulled muscles, because the muscles are so tight or so overly stretched.
What they don't realize is they're actually out of balance and they're out of alignment.
I see hundreds of people a week who have these types of issues, and they almost think that there's nothing they can do about it -- it's just a muscle, but they keep pulling that same muscle.
What we do at New Hudson Chiropractic is we actually help to establish better spinal balance so that your nervous system functions better, so that your muscles function better.
The ones that are super overstretched, they'll start to come back in line, and the ones that are super tight, they will start to stretch and go back to where they need to be.
If you'd like to learn more about the power of how chiropractic adjustments can help your body establish better muscular balance, go ahead and give us a call.
We'd love to hear from you.
