A chiropractic practitioner uses a number of techniques to help folks reach their best possible health and wellness. One such method is typically used by Foxboro MA chiropractor offices that help the patient find relief is proprioceptive rehabilitation. Proprioception is the natural ability the body has for sensing movement inside their joints. The body is able to detect where the limbs are without the need to see them. This is particularly useful when the person is executing difficult athletic maneuvers that require precise coordination.

The proprioceptive system contains many receptor nerves that are located in the joints, ligaments, and muscles around our joints. These receptor nerves are able to sense stretch and tension and pass this information on to the brain where it's processed. Next, the brain responds by signaling the muscles to relax or contract to perform the desired movement. This subconscious system can by damaged by injuries to ligaments and joints so the brain receives impaired information.

When this happens your joints will feel strand. When a ligament or joint has been torn, the proprioceptive ability in the individual will decrease. They are left susceptible to injury and will decrease coordination when participating in sports.

The practitioner is able to assist athletes using proprioceptive rehab. The patient is offered a combination of exercises and physical therapy to help with rehabilitation. The exercise is particularly important for the person who is looking to relieve pain due to injury or overuse during activities and athletics.

The exercises that are taught include proprioceptive balance to help the body return to its most efficient and stable balanced position to achieve optimum performance. Patients take part in strength training exercises to rehabilitate injured and weakened muscles. Strength training also improves balance.

Patients will also learn how to strengthen their rotator cuffs, exercises to increase flexibility, and core stabilization exercises that will help to train their muscular and nervous systems to coordinate efficient, safe, movements. A Foxboro chiropractor has exercises that could be beneficial soon after an injury.
