Nervous System Balance: How Chiropractic Adjustments Affect Your Entire Body
Manage episode 483283852 series 3657592
What Are Some Things Chiropractic Care Help With Other Than Pain Relief?
Your spine holds the key to far more than just freedom from back pain. Dr. Steven Barger takes listeners on a fascinating journey through the often-overlooked benefits of Gonstead chiropractic care, revealing how your nervous system serves as the master controller for your entire body's wellbeing.
At the heart of chiropractic's broader impact is the delicate balance between your sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) nervous systems. Dr. Barger explains this relationship as similar to your body's "gas pedal and brake pedal" – a balance that shifts naturally throughout the day but can become disrupted, leading to surprising health challenges. Unlike practitioners who take a "shotgun approach," Gonstead chiropractors make precise, targeted adjustments to restore proper nervous system function.
The conversation explores how specific spinal regions connect to different bodily functions. Adjustments to the thoracic spine might help someone with excess stomach acid and daytime heartburn, while a completely different approach targets those suffering from insufficient acid production and nighttime digestive distress. For sleep troubles, Dr. Barger reveals how adjustments to the atlas and occiput can quiet an overactive mind without causing drowsiness. Even conditions like anxiety, heart palpitations, and Bell's palsy respond to specialized adjustments that recalibrate nervous system balance.
Whether you're struggling with digestive issues, sleep disturbances, stress, or other seemingly unrelated health concerns, this episode illuminates how the spine influences every system in your body.
