Terry Chiropractic Boulder

Your body has three types of movements: Segmental, regional, and whole body. Segmental motion occurs between the individual joints of your body. Regional movement occurs in a body region such as your neck, mid-back, or low back. And whole-body movement is typically what we think of as exercise. All three types are essential and work together to keep your spine and musculoskeletal system healthy and functioning at its best.

- Segmental Movement: moving the individual joints of your body is what chiropractors are specifically trained to do. Proper segmental movement can help reduce pain, improve your range of motion, and influence your central nervous system
- Regional Movement: dynamic stretching with regional range of motion exercises can reduce low back stiffness
- Whole Body Exercise: daily whole-body exercise can help your brain and body feel better as well as improve your rest and recovery at night

The foundation of all movement is segmental. If your joints aren't moving correctly, then you'll never be able to optimize your regional or whole-body movement. Moving may be the last thing you want to do if you're struggling with back pain. But top research organizations have proven that proper movement and exercise are two of the best ways to find relief from back pain. If you've dealt with back pain, call us today. Our team will be happy to provide you with a complete movement assessment and personalized movement and exercise plan to help you get (and stay) well for years to come.
