Balance Care in St Albans for Everyday Movement
Feeling unsteady on stairs or uneven ground can make everyday movement more challenging. While balance changes are often associated with getting older, people of any age may experience difficulties with balance.
How Your Body Maintains Balance
Balance involves communication between your brain and information received from your eyes, inner ear, muscles and joints. Strength, reaction time and movement can also play a role.
Changes may become more noticeable with age, but other factors, including injury, periods of inactivity and pregnancy, may affect how steady you feel.
Looking at How You Move
At Select Chiropractic, your chiropractor will take a thorough history and assess factors such as posture and movement. They’ll explain what they find and discuss whether chiropractic care may be appropriate for your individual needs.
Because balance problems can have many causes, new or unexplained balance changes, dizziness or falls may require assessment by a GP or another appropriate health professional.
