What is Nervous System Based Chiropractic

This approach believes the body self-heals when nervous system interference is removed. Gentle adjustments help people move out of chronic "fight or flight" mode into proper balance. This create a positive ripple effect throughout the entire body

How Nervous System Based Chiropractic Works

From "Fight or Flight" to "Rest and Digest"

Nervous system based chiropractic can calm an overactic sympathetic nervous system and promote the function of the parasympathetic nervous system:

Sympathetic Nervous system:
Stress and survival mode
Increased heart rate and blood pressure
Muscle tension and alertness
Reduced digestion and immune function
- Chronic anxiety and restlessness
- Sleep difficulties and insomnia
- Digestive issues (constipation, IBS, reflux)
- For babies: colic, feeding difficulties, excessive crying
Parasympathetic Nervous System:
Healing and recovery processes
Normal heart rate and blood pressure
Optimal digestion and elimination
Strong immune function
- Calm, regulated emotions
- Restful, restorative sleep
- Clear thinking and focus
- For babies: contentment, easy feeding, peaceful sleep

How Adjustments Create Change

The adjustment puts force into the spine which goes to the nervous system and changes the patterns throughout the body. More specifically:

Removes Interference: Spinal misalignments (subluxations) create interference in nerve communication

Restores Communication: Adjustments help restore proper nerve flow between brain and body

Promotes Regulation: This allows your nervous system to properly balance between sympathetic (fight/flight) and parasympathetic (rest/digest) states

The Ripple Effect

When interference is removed, you see a "snowball effect of positive results", people start to regulate, feel less anxious, experience digestive changes, and see improvements they weren't even seeking treatment for.

Patients commonly report that while they came in for back pain, throughout their care they realize "I haven't had a headache in 3 months," their sleep improves, and brain fog clears up, all because their body is starting to regulate and their brain is better communicating to those systems.

Why It's Different from Traditional Chiropractic

Traditional chiropractic often focuses on biomechanical fixes—"adjust C5 because they have a joint restriction and they'll move their neck better.

"Nervous system-based care asks: "What can we do to help this person heal and get to the root cause of why they're not feeling well?" Rather than just addressing symptoms, it supports the body's innate ability to heal and self-regulate.
