Use Chiropractic Care to Enhance Your Brain Function
Chiropractic care enhancing brain function!? Not a common reference right? Well, believe it or not chiropractic care is one of the most effective ways to enhance your brain function. In order to understand how this is so, we must briefly discuss Chiropractic care and its effect on the Nervous System.
The Chiropractic effect on human performance, especially aiding in the healing process is widely misunderstood. Chiropractors are one of the few health care professionals that directly alter Nervous System function, without the use of drugs or other artificial interventions. We work with the innate ability of the Nervous System to heal and repair the body. So why is this so important?
The Nervous System, divided into the Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System, controls and moderates all human function. This complex system is the control center for your thoughts, motivations, focus, sensations, movements, and posture, just to name a few. Any changes in this system could be detrimental to your health. So, how can you tell if your nervous system is functioning well?
Changes in Nervous System function could manifest in 4 common ways.
- Changes in Sensation - Pain, Tingling, Numbness, Dizziness, and Vertigo
- Changes in Movement - Balance/Coordination issues and Tremors (resting or intention)
- Changes in Thoughts - Depression, OCD, ADHD, and Anxiety
- Changes in Posture - Slouched posture, Scoliosis, and Flexed posture from Stroke
Understanding the Nervous System and the affect Chiropractic has on it, is the best kept secret to optimizing your health! Any sensory or motor movement can activate your brain function. Using this idea aids a chiropractor in enhancing your brain function! Let's explore a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractors are known to use their hands to adjust the spine with the goal of restoring normal spinal biomechanics and releasing stress off the Nervous System. The human body LIVES FOR MOTION. The less motion your spine has, the less nervous system activation you have, the more pain and symptoms you begin to feel. The more motion you have, the more activation you have, the less pain and symptoms you would feel. When there is proper motion in the spine, there is less stress on the joints and the muscles that are attached to the spine activate the brain, balancing and enhancing your brain function. The chiropractic spinal adjustment is one of the most powerful stimulations to the human brain.
