Spinal misalignment is now agreed to be the result of both internal and external influences affecting the function of the nervous system as a whole.
Physical trauma, toxin exposure and emotional stressors not only trigger muscular responses in the body, but these “harm signals” also reach three key areas in the brain: the hippocampus (the center for learning), the amygdala (the stress and anxiety center), and the hypothalamus (the neuroendocrine control center, which initiates a cascade of events preparing us for fight or flight).
To counter these types of stressors we need high-quality input to the nervous system – best achieved through:
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Whole-body exercise
- Purity
- Good nutrition
- Positive and loving thoughts
Health really boils down to homeostasis (balanced function) at the cellular level. To create a lifetime of health…we must provide our bodies with optimal input throughout our lives.
We have a choice to make healthy lifestyle changes to better our health and getting specific adjustments directly related to the nervous system will help your body adapt to stressors in your daily life.
