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.
Proper alignment and mobility in the joints of the body is vitally important to weak muscle and joints. If any of the bones or joints are not in proper alignment or are not moving well this can create pain (such as low back pain or even headaches), stiffness, weakness, and instability. It is especially important to the aging body to maintain proper joint function.
If you are getting into your later years and are starting to feel the effects of gravity acting on you, its probably time to see a Bellevue chiropractor. A Bellevue chiropractor looks at all the effects of a disfunctional spines and takes away the negative effects that it can have on you.
One way that we can look at how this whole gravity thing works is to look at our bodies like a car. If the front end alignment of my car starts to go “off”, my car starts to pull to one side, it wears down my tires faster, and is very hard on the frame of my car. The same is true of your body in that if there is misalignment in the frame of your body (the spine) then it will wear you down much, much faster. Take a look at the bottoms of your shoes for a second. Is there any wear? If so this may be a good sign that you are misaligned and in major need of a realignment.
Did you find wear on the bottom of your shoe? If you did then you are a prime candidate to be evaluated by your Bellevue chiropractor to asses for “misalignment”.
