Chiropractic and Your Brain
-

By:
Your nervous system is the body’s control centre: your brain relies on constant sensory input from spinal joints to build an accurate “body map” that governs proprioception (where am I), motor control (how do I move), and threat assessment (am I safe). When spinal joints are restricted, the resulting distorted input floods your system with TV static - leading to compensation, poor posture, tension and a shift toward protective stress responses. Adjustments provide specific input that research suggests alters activity in the prefrontal cortex, motor cortex and cerebellum, improving sensory-motor integration, regulation and benefits that go way beyond pain relief…like better sleep, calmer reactions, clearer thinking and more energy.
