Reaction Times

How quickly we react to a stimulus or situation is called our reaction time. This will depend on how fast our brain can sense what’s happening around us, then process that information, come up with a reaction and perform the appropriate response.

Your reaction time depends on how efficiently your brain and nervous system are working

The Brain and Nervous System

The reason that chiropractors are interested in reaction time is that chiropractic care aims to improve the communication between your brain and your body so you are better able to react and respond to your environment. When your brain can accurately perceive what is going on inside and out, it can better control your body for the situation at hand, and move your muscles in the right order and at the right speed.

Brain Perception

Researchers are discovering that chiropractic care really does seem to have an impact on how efficiently your brain can accurately perceive what is going on around you and react to it.
