Chiropractic Vs The Nervous System

Dec 15, 2022

Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to health and wellness mainly concerned with the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. This is because the nervous system controls every part of the body, so any misalignment, pressure, or tension in the spine can cause dysfunction in other parts of the body like our muscles, cells and visceral organs.

The spine is made up of vertebrae that are responsible for providing structure and movement to the body. The spinal column houses the spinal cord, the major pathway of information between the brain and the rest of the body. Any misalignment or pressure on the spine can influence the nervous system and cause dysfunction. Chiropractic care works to address any issues of misalignment, tension, and pressure on the spine. Through manual manipulation and adjustments, chiropractors can relieve pressure on the spine and restore proper alignment. This can help relieve the above-mentioned symptoms and reduce the risk of further health issues. Additionally, chiropractic care focuses on the body to address various other health issues, such as headaches, migraines, and back pain.

When a nerve has pressure, it can cause symptoms like pain, radiculopathy, numbness and tingling. Radiculopathy is an irritation or inflammation of the nerve root, which can cause pain that radiates along the nerve path. Numbness and tingling can also occur when pressure is applied to a nerve, as it can interfere with the nerve’s ability to properly transmit signals from the brain to the rest of the body.

Furthermore, a misalignment of the spine can cause abnormal stress on the muscles, joints and internal organs, leading to other health issues.
