Did you know that nerve fibers that carry information
FROM the body
UP to the brain outnumber the number of fibers that send messages
FROM the brain
DOWN to the body 40 to 1?* Why would we be designed in this way? So that our body's are capable of adapting to our environment on a moments notice! This is a great anatomical example of the degree to which our body relies on receptors found throughout our body. The job of these receptors is to send information
FROM the body
UP to the brain. One very common type of receptor is called a proprioceptor. It's job is to sense motion/movement. When this occurs it then sends a message of pleasure
UP to the brain. The most common type of activity that fires proprioceptors consistently is exercise! This is why typically after a workout not only do you feel good but your body also functions better too! A second activity that fires proprioceptors and creates movement is a chiropractic adjustment. Did you know that the vast majority of the body's proprioceptors actually live in the spine? This is why after an adjustment you typically fell better and your body also functions better too! Exercise is considered macro-motion where as an adjustment is considered micro-motion. Each are absolutely essential and produce body wide positive health effects. If you would like to learn more about motion, exercise and chiropractic care please attend our next in office workshop on Aug 25th at 5:45 PM.
