Optimal Health Comes From Optimal Function
June 2019
“The nervous system is the most mysterious and complicated system in our body. Yet without it, none of the other system could function optimally.”
Your body has the innate ability to heal itself. Chiropractic is based upon the sciences of anatomy, biology and neurology. Your brain and spinal cord (the Central Nervous System) controls and coordinates all physiological functions of the body.
Your spine protects your spinal cord. If there is a misalignment, or abnormal motion of one of the segments in the spine, it will disrupt the communication between the brain and the body or the body to the brain leading to abnormal function (health conditions or symptoms develop). This condition is referred to as a vertebral subluxation. The chiropractic correction of the adjustment, is used to restore motion and alignment, which in turn restores brain to body communication, which optimizes health and self-healing capabilities.
Finding Answers to Chronic Fatigue
There is nothing that compares to living with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Being endlessly tired with no reprieve while still needing to accomplish the pressing needs of daily life is the daily reality for people with CFS. Finding a solution to this ailment has proved difficult for experts as the syndrome is complicated and research has not elicited many straight answers. Instead, chronic fatigue sufferers get theories and are told varying treatment options.
Some of these options include sleeping pills, antidepressants, and other medications. Unfortunately these do not resolve the root cause and only give temporary relief.
At the very top of your spine are your C1 and C2 vertebrae, responsible for cradling your skull and allowing your neck free movement from side to side. Within this junction is the brainstem and other critical parts of your nervous system such as the brain and spinal cord. Any imperfections in the alignment of these vertebrae can cause tremendous upsets in your body’s natural signaling and communications ability. When nerve function gets interrupted, the results can range from preventing proper regulation of hormones, interrupting sleep-wake cycles, to pain along the spine and so on. An upper spinal misalignment could be the reason behind many chronic fatigue symptoms.
