It\u2019s just something we all live with, but have you ever paused to consider how gravity is putting stress on your body\u2019s bones, joints and nervous system throughout every minute of every day? After all, gravity keeps our feet on the ground, literally, by pulling our bodies towards the center of the earth.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why it Matters:<\/strong>\u00a0The effects of gravity on your skeletal system can lead to spinal degeneration and arthritic changes. In fact, gravity puts excessive stress on imbalanced skeletal systems, which in turn can slowly lead to early degenerative disease and neurological imbalances. We can\u2019t decrease gravity or reverse the aging process, but you can make smart decisions about your health care and commit to staying active. One of the best ways you can stand up to gravity is by ensuring that your spine and brain are as healthy as they can be. That\u2019s what Chiropractic care helps you do.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"small\">\n<li>Gravity can cause both imbalances to your skeletal system and degeneration over time.<\/li>\n<li>Maintaining a full range of motion, proper posture, and an evenly balanced spinal column can help disperse the forces of gravity equally across your skeletal system.<\/li>\n<li>Chiropractic care can help you improve your posture, strengthen your spinal stabilizing muscles, and keep your skeletal system properly balanced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Next Steps:\u00a0<\/strong>We\u2019ve said it before, and we\u2019ll say it again: being healthy is more than just a matter of how you feel\u2026 It\u2019s a matter of how you function! That\u2019s the primary objective. It\u2019s wonderful to feel better. Functioning at your very best is genius! Stay consistent with your care, curiosity, and questions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Science Source:<\/strong><br \/>\n(1) <a class=\"citation\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/spinejournal\/Abstract\/2013\/04150\/Adding_Chiropractic_Manipulative_Therapy_to.2.aspx\">Adding Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy to Standard Medical Care for Patients With Acute Low Back Pain.
