Our brain relies on information from the moving joints in our body to coordinate balance. Joints that do not move, or move poorly, can significantly affect this fundamental skill. Research shows that approximately 30-40% of older adults suffer from at least one fall per year, increasing in probability with age and a significant cause of injury and mortality. Incredibly, studies are demonstrating how chiropractic care actually improves our balance by improving joint movement, boosting our proprioceptive awareness (our brain’s ability to know where our arms and legs are in space without looking). Combine this benefit with studies showing enhanced reaction times following regular chiropractic care to proactively manage coordination and balance for fall prevention.
