So don't think of your core as just "abs' ' but the supporting structures for the spine. When you bend, twist, push, pull….. Can your spine stay stable? 

Chiropractic care at Omega Chiropractic Center - Sports Performance & Nutrition in Apex NC helps to stabilize the spine, and working with a strong core will make you less susceptible to injury. The core is at the center of the body, along with our spine, and any malfunction in these areas will lead to further injury. Once these areas are compromised, other muscle groups have to work harder to keep the body stable, which leads to spasms and misalignment in more than just the spinal column.

Sitting upright and having a strong core also allows for signals from our brain to flow easier to other areas of our body. Think of a garden hose - once there is a kink, the water does not pass through easily and until we straighten out the hose, it's function is useless. Our bodies work in this same way, which is why maintaining good posture and a strong core is essential for the function of our bodies.
