Studies show that:

• Spinal adjustments improve joint position sense and proprioception, particularly in the cervical spine (Haavik & Murphy, JMPT, 2012).

• Chiropractic care enhances brain-body communication and may improve postural control and sensorimotor function (Haavik et al., Brain Sciences, 2019).

• Regular chiropractic care can increase mobility, reduce stiffness, and help regulate autonomic nervous system function—key for stress and hormonal balance.

As estrogen levels decline during Menopause, the following key systems are affected:

• Proprioception and balance decline with age and  hormonal shifts. Research shows that postmenopausal women have decreased postural stability and are more prone to falls, especially if they are not physically active (Moran et al., Clin Interv Aging, 2011).

• Muscle mass and strength naturally decrease with  age—a process called sarcopenia—which accelerates  after menopause due to changes in estrogen and growth  hormone regulation (Messier et al., Menopause, 2011).

• Joint and spinal function may decline, impacting  neuromuscular feedback. This can affect how well the brain perceives and controls movement—especially when the spine and nervous system are under stress.

August Challenge

Proactive Tip: The Single-Leg Stance

Try this simple balance practice:
Stand near a chair. Lift one foot and hold for 30 seconds. Switch sides. Try 2 rounds per day. To increase the challenge, close your eyes or stand on a soft surface. This activates core muscles, improves balance, and sharpens proprioception!

——————-

I was aware that Dr. Kris was an exceptional practitioner long before I made my way into her care as two friends had worked with her for years. An active lifestyle and years of physical labor have had me on a journey for physical health through acupuncture, massage, and chiropractic work. When my latest injury finally brought me to Dr. Kris, I knew my physical self was in good hands but what I did not anticipate was the impact her care would have on my mind and spirit as well. Please ask her about Neuro-Emotional Technique (N.E.T.), it shifted everything for me. Dr. Kris has helped me through the death of my father, returning to school, and starting my career as an aesthetician. My continued care with Dr. Kris, my facilitator of wellness as I call her, allows me to be my best self so that I can care for my clients. Come see me for an exceptional facial at Skin Habit in North Park.
