Chiropractic’s Big Idea

Chiropractic’s Big Idea: Improved Nervous System Function

As the name Central Nervous System suggests, our brain and spinal cord is central to our body functions. All messages from the brain to different parts of our body have to pass down the spine and vice versa. Since the nervous system is our coordinator it is important to keep it free of interferences or obstructions. Chiropractic care comes in to ensure that our spine and nervous system is functioning well. The chiropractor is trained to locate and correct spinal joint problems known as subluxations. Subluxations interfere in nerve transmission by putting pressure, irritation, and compressing the nerves in your spine.

Top four benefits of a healthy nervous system

Immunity boost: The nervous system regulates the immune system of the body. It regulates all activities of immune system through hormone secretions as in the case of white blood cell function at the site of an infection. A poorly functioning nervous system will not be prompt to dictate action when the body is invaded by disease causing agents. On the other hand, when your spine is in optimal condition, the immune system will also be at its functioning best.
Optimal organ function: Most people who undergo spinal adjustments to remove subluxations report better clarity in vision, healing from asthma or allergies, improved energy. Vertebral subluxation correction leads to better organ function and the result is pain relief naturally.
Improved movement and motor function: Chiropractic patients also experience lightness in their limbs, and freedom of ambulatory movements following a chiropractic session. All motor movement impulses pass up and down the spine at lightning speed. Subluxations will tend to block impulse or cause pain as motor nerves get pinched or cramped; when these subluxations are removed damaged tissues get space to heal and the patient senses immediate relief.
Improved mood, energy, and well-being: All bodily movement and function, including your mood, is regulated by the release and reabsorption of chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters. All messages of stress, distress and feelings pass through the spine, affecting your level of consciousness and awareness, your mood, and the slower metabolic and hormonal functions of your body. A healthy spine will ensure quick and pain-free living.

Pain is often an indicator of deeper issues. It can be tiresome and a hindrance to all our daily activities. Most people rush to a chiropractor when they experience back pain or headaches. They hope the chiropractor will make the headache disappear. They do not realize the role of the spine and nervous system in determining their daily function as human beings.
