Chiropractic Care and Core Training

Back in the old days, no one talked about core training. The phrase didn’t even exist. But, back in the old days people were, in general, much more physically fit. Core training wasn’t needed 50 years ago, as people in that long ago time did actual physical work.

Today, in our service-oriented societies, most people sit at a desk. We’re sitting when we’re at work, and we’re sitting when we go home, eating dinner, watching TV, or surfing the Internet. The result is chronic weakness in our core muscles. But these muscles are required for good health, not the least of which is good posture. A weak core leads to numerous physical ailments, including chronic neck pain, chronic low back pain, and chronic headaches.

Regular chiropractic care helps maintain the integrity of core musculature. Additionally, your chiropractor is an expert in core re-training and, if needed, will design a program of core exercises that will help restore strength and endurance to this critical, overlooked system.
