Chiropractic Care can help with strength, endurance & balance

A study conducted in 2019 assessed the effects of chiropractic care on strength, balance and endurance in active-duty U.S. military personnel who had lower back pain. The randomised control trial showed an increase in strength in those who received chiropractic care and a decrease in those who received no treatment for their low back pain. Those who were adjusted also had an increase in balance, pointing towards an increase in proprioception (awareness of where your body is in space). 

These results are improtant as strength and balance are crucial componenets contributing to mobility, daily functioning and quality of life.  

This study explores the biological mechanisms related to manual therapies employed by chiropractic practitioners.
