Bafford Spine and Nutrition

Functional rehab can be best explained as improving quality of motion (proper sequence of muscle movement), stretching, and active exercise program that increase range of motion, increase strength, decrease pain, and increase activity levels of daily living. Structural Rehab can be defined as programs of exercise, stretching, and traction that change the posture and spine towards normal 3-D aligment.

Correct aligment and balance is important for fucntion. When there are mis alignments in the spinal column abnormal postures and muscular imbalances occur decreasing funciton. Stresses such as gravity and strains being put on the spinal column cannot be overcome and degeneration ensues. Most therapists and chiropractors focus on pain relief and function but fail to acknowledge spinal alignments. At Bafford Chiropractic, we focus on both functional and the structural components.
