Chiropractic care is all about removing subluxations from the spine so the beneficiary can have better nervous system function. Stress in the body causes the nervous system to go into a sympathetic state also known as fight or flight.
The nervous system takes in stress and works to process that stress. If our system cannot process the stress, then we may feel symptoms of that stress. For example, if someone is emotionally stressed, they may feel it in their shoulders, their neck, or their chest. If someone is physically stressed, they may feel it in their low back. Every single person feels the effects of stress differently.
The parasympathetic state is known as the rest and digest state. This is the state where the nervous system healing can occur, and the processing of stress can occur. When under consistent chiropractic care the nervous system is in the parasympathetic state and is more balanced so it can handle more stress.
