Your Body is Made to Move

Did you know your body is designed to MOVE? Your bones, muscles, and joints work together helping you run, jump, climb, and dance. Your spine is like the trunk of a strong tree - it supports your whole body and helps you stay balanced. But the spine doesn’t just stand tall and strong, it is also made to move! It has 33 bones, called vertebrae that connect from your pelvis up to your head. Your spine is PROTECTIVE - it’s like a moveable armor that protects your spinal cord - and your skull is like an armor that protects your brain. Why is this important? Well, your body is really smart - so it made a bony protection system for the most important part of you - your brain and spinal cord. Your nervous system - made up of your body, making sure everything works together smoothly, even when you sleep!

Your body is always making adjustments to keep you strong and steady. If you trip, your nervous system helps you catch yourself. If you’re playing soccer, your brain and body are always communicating with each other - every single second of every day. This allows you to move and feel your best so you an enjoy your life - playing, growing, thinking, and doing whatever you love.

How to Keep Your Body Feeling Its Best

1. Move Every Day! Running, jumping, playing, and stretching keep your muscles and joints happy. Movement help your body stay strong and flexible!

2. Eat Colorful Foods! Just like spring gardens have lots of different colors, your plate should too! Eating a rainbow of fruits and veggies gives your body the vitamins and energy it needs

3. Get plenty of Rest! Your body does a lot of growing while you sleep. A good night’s sleep helps your muscles recover and your brain recharge.

4. Take Deep Breaths! Fresh spring air feels great, doesn’t it? Taking it slow, deep breaths helps relax your body, calm your mind, and keep your nervous system happy. Try 3 deep breaths before bed - notice if it helps you feel relaxed.

5. Get Adjusted by Dr. Miller! Chiropractic adjustments help your brain and body work together so you can move, play, think, and heal the way you were designed to. Just like the roots of a tree need to be strong for the tree to grow tall, your spine needs to be in good alignment to hep your body work its best.
