This past Saturday, we headed over to Family Fun Day at the Village of Fairview for a good time. We held an obstacle course (Don’t worry, Red our Skeleton supervised) where kids were asked to challenge their balance on a wobble board. One kid even did it with his eyes closed, while holding things in both hands…impressive. After which, they would “walk the line” heel to toe, frontwards and backwards. Some kids were determined to master it and came back time and again to perfect their balance!

While the obstacle course was a light-hearted, fun challenge, we did it for good reason. A lot of children’s balance and coordination issues concern their cerebellum or what we like to call their “mini-brain.” When their balance is off, it means the cerebellum isn’t receiving messages like it should. Chiropractic is an easy and effective way to correct it.

Think of your brain and body as one big loop. Messages (nerve inputs) are constantly being sent from your brain back to your body to tell it what to do. Sometimes there is a road block (interference) preventing those messages from getting to your body effectively, creating many issues, balance being one of them.

When you receive chiropractic adjustments, those road blocks are removed, which allows the messages to be sent properly. Pretty cool right?
