Stress and the Nervous System — What's Actually Happening

Chronic stress keeps the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight) activated and suppresses the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest). Over time, this leads to muscle tension, poor sleep, digestive issues, immune suppression, and a host of other problems.

Chiropractic care has a measurable effect on the autonomic nervous system. Research shows that spinal adjustments can shift the nervous system toward parasympathetic dominance — helping your body move out of chronic stress mode.

Combined with the INSiGHT HRV scan, which measures autonomic nervous system balance, we can track this shift objectively over the course of your care.
