Falls happen throughout our life, obviously as we grow, our body goes through many phases of maturing, at the same time the nervous system is learning ways to protect itself. It is important to understand that the musculo-skeletal system is in constant state of growth.

 

Some of the things that effect spinal function can be less obvious. Lack of exercise, extended sitting, poor posture whilst using an iPad, a twist whilst running the bases at tee-ball, etc.

 

This is such an important time as the spine ‘learns’ good posture. Identifying a deviation of spinal alignment is a special skill chiropractors have expertise in.
