The Intimate Relationship Between the Spine and the Nervous System

7/28/2017

 
Your spine has a very close and important relationship with your nervous system. Your nervous system controls everything in your body. If your nervous system is working free from interference, then your body is working as it should (self-healing and self-regulating).

Chiropractic works via the spine to affect changes in the nervous system; one of the effects is reducing the sympathetic tone. An increased sympathetic tone will result in noradrenaline, and increased cortisol and catecholamines. Elevated noradrenaline levels are an etiological factor in a number of diseases. (Fitzgerald, PJ. Johns Hopkins University, Increased risk of Cancer, Glaucoma)

In the Ogura Study in 2011, the authors concluded that spinal adjustments improved mechanical function, inhibited sympathetic nerve system activity (decreased stress hormones), improved heart rate, breathing, ATP, and thinking by increasing blood flow, enhancing brain glucose utilization, and improving all brain function.

To find out if you have increased sympathetic tone, or are at risk of certain diseases, or if we can help with any current health concerns, please call us for a stress response evaluation today.
