Chiropractors employ many methods to maintain and restore their patients' wellbeing, health, and quality of life. One of the many methods used by a Foxboro MA chiropractor that can help to relieve a patient's suffering is proprioceptive rehabilitation. Proprioception refers to your capacity to sense movement inside your joints. Your body uses this ability to be able to know precisely where the limbs are located without having to look with your eyes. Proprioception is especially useful when you are carrying out complicated sport maneuvers when precise coordination is of the essence.

The proprioceptive system includes numerous receptor nerves located in the muscles around the joints, the ligaments, and in the joints. The receptor nerves can sense tension and stretch and send messages to the brain. The brain responds by sending a signal to the muscles telling them to tighten or relax to perform a specific movement. This subconscious system can be damaged due to joint and ligament damage that can send impaired data to the brain.

The joints can then feel strange as a result. When the ligament or a joint is torn, the proprioceptive ability may decrease which leaves the person susceptible to re injuring themselves and decreases coordination.

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.
