Do you detect lethargy and muscle function loss? Williamson chiropractic care at Apple Country Chiropractic may increase strength, muscle function, and prohibit fatigue.

Do you increase the amount you exercise, but seem to plateau in how your muscles behave when you need them? Apple Country Chiropractic knows these problems may be more blatantly important to some Williamson 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? Williamson daily life would only be enhanced if we have more strength to do all the activities we need to do!

Positive news for Williamson 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.
