<span style="color: #d1d1d1; text-align: justify;">Our brain is like a remote that controls our whole bodies. With the help of our central and peripheral nervous system, it sends out signals that can reach every part of our body. In a sense, every move we make is thanks to our brain. However, these signals can be disrupted when the vertebrae that protect the spinal cord and its nerves become subluxated or restricted due to the everyday traumas or stressors we experience.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #d1d1d1; text-align: justify;">Even simple actions like sitting, standing or sleeping can all affect our spine. With that, you can imagine how much stress our spine will have if we are doing more strenuous things like lifting, exercising and overworking. For those who engage in athletics, that could be a worrisome issue as these stressors that cause subluxations can cost their body efficiency and reaction time.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #d1d1d1; text-align: justify;">This is the main reason why CrossFit and Chiropractic is a perfect combination to help you be at your best.</span>

<span style="color: #d1d1d1; text-align: justify;">For those who don’t know, CrossFit is a sport of fitness. It is a program that trains the body to function optimally and efficiently, helping the nervous system to perform flawlessly so the muscles respond quickly. Chiropractic on the other hand, removes stress from the nerve system. It keeps your nerves healthy so we have a greater capacity to heal, repair, and perform at your best. Anyone who engages in athletics can benefit from regular chiropractic checkups to make sure that their spine is well-adjusted and free from any structural stress and subluxations.Â&nbsp; When the spinal column is brought into balance and alignment, the body’s nervous system and posture are maximized, thus improving your overall performance.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #d1d1d1; text-align: justify;">The whole point of this is that exercise is just not enough in taking care of our bodies. If one is serious in keeping yourself fit and completely working at all times, you also need to take care of the machine that keeps you moving. These are the muscles, nerves, and joints that are used during movements. When your body is not balanced and muscles are not working correctly, this prompts you to have not only a poor performance but injury as well.</span>

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #d1d1d1; text-align: justify;">That is why, if you want to give yourself the competitive edge, always choose crossfit and chiropractic!</span>
