Muscular imbalances are the primary cause of musculoskeletal injury. Muscular imbalances occur when a muscle, or group of muscles, are weak and underused or tight and inflexible. Research has taught us that when managing acute or chronic muscle dysfunction, the best outcomes are achieved by integrating therapeutic exercise with joint manipulation. Wheelock Chiropractic in Worcester teaches patients simple, yet effective individualized exercises that will help speed recovery time and help prevent future injuries.
