Neuro-Muscular Retraining Imagine you are working at you computer all day and it begins running very slow. You will probably hit the restart button. When you do this, you turn everything off for a moment so that the pathways can be cleared. After the computer is turned back on, the pathways have been reset and the computer is working at its full potential. Much as the pathways on your computer get slowed down, so do the pathways in your nervous system. The muscles on either side of the spine are controlled by pathways from the brain. These pathways get jammed up with nero-patterns from years of old injuries and un-healthy activities such as sitting at the computer for too many hours. Spinal nero-muscular retraining will reset these pathways so that your nervous system can work at its full potential. This can be achieved through different applications of stimulus to the para-spinal muscles. It is important to realize that it is not the stimulus that is doing the healing; it is your own body that carries the healing properties. The use of these new adjunctive procedures merely breaks the old pathway and allows a clear opening for the body to create a new and healthy pathway. It is also worth mentioning that this newly created pathway is one of many nero-pathways that exist between the para-spinal muscles and the brain. There is not one connection between your brain and each muscle or organ in the body, there are thousands to millions, depending on the part of the body in question. Muscle Rebalancing A trigger point in a muscle is roughly the equivalent of a stress fracture in a bone. Have you ever dreamed, while nursing an injury, of finding a magic trigger to facilitate your healing? Or, if you're working hard to avoid injury, wished for a button that you could press to give yourself the maximum chance of not getting hurt? It is a well-kept secret that there is indeed such a button. I'm talking, of course, about trigger points. Many therapists, trainers, and coaches use trigger point termination to minimize injury, recover from injury, or prevent injury. It is strongly held by many sports physiotherapists and other clinicians associated with sports at the highest level that the vast majority of sports injuries must have trigger point therapy (or a near equivalent that achieves the same outcome) as part of the treatment regime. Otherwise, everything that can be done for the athlete is not being done. Advanced Posture Correction What is Advanced Posture Correction? Posture Correction is a science of correcting and training the muscles of the spine to maintain correct posture at all times. The human body by itself does not achieve alignment and good posture naturally. It must be told to do so by the brain. The brain uses Nero pathways to provide constant stimulus to the postural muscles and ligaments. Postural muscles and ligament then provide structure for healthful posture. In order to achieve basic posture correction a combination of both Muscle Rebalancing(see above) and Neuro-Muscular Retraining(see above) is used. Gilden Family Chiropractic also incorporates Spinal Adjustments in our offices to take posture correction to the next level in our Advanced Posture Correction Program.
