The Relationship Between Chiropractic and the Autonomous Nervous System

The Relationship between Chiropractic and the Autonomous Nervous System

Did you know that chiropractic not only relieves physical pain, but can also have a positive impact on the autonomic nervous system? In this article, we will explore in detail how chiropractic and the autonomic nervous system are interconnected and how chiropractic adjustments can improve your overall well-being.

What is the Autonomous Nervous System?

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a part of the nervous system that controls involuntary body functions, such as breathing, heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure. It is divided into two main branches:

Division of the Autonomous Nervous System

  1. Sympathetic Nervous System: Prepares the body for stress or emergency situations, increasing heart rate and blood pressure, among other responses.
  2. Parasympathetic Nervous System: Promotes relaxation and rest, reducing heart rate and promoting digestion and other maintenance functions of the body.

What is Chiropractic?

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Chiropractic as «A health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on general health».

Chiropractic focuses on adjusting segments of the spine that are affected by vertebral subluxations. The main objective is to restore the normal functionality of the spine, eliminating alterations in the nervous system.

Chiropractors perform chiropractic adjustments at key points. This gentle and targeted approach helps correct subluxations, promoting the patient's overall health and well-being.

The Interconnection between Chiropractic and the Autonomous Nervous System

Improved Nervous Communication

The spine protects the spinal cord, which is the main communication route between the brain and the rest of the body. Vertebral misalignments can interfere with this communication, affecting the functioning of the autonomic nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments correct these misalignments, improving the transmission of nerve signals and optimizing ANS function.

Stress Reduction and Improved Relaxation

Chiropractic adjustments can influence the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the ANS. By relieving tension and pain, chiropractic can help reduce activation of the sympathetic nervous system and promote a parasympathetic response, promoting relaxation and recovery.

Impact on Immune Function

The autonomic nervous system also regulates many immune functions. By improving nerve communication and reducing stress, chiropractic can have a positive effect on the body's immune response, helping to maintain optimal overall health.

Specific Benefits of Chiropractic on the Autonomous Nervous System

Sleep Improvement

Many patients report better sleep quality after receiving chiropractic adjustments. This is due to chiropractic's ability to promote relaxation and reduce tension, which can improve autonomic nervous system function and promote restful sleep.

Reduction of Anxiety and Stress

By balancing the functions of the autonomic nervous system, chiropractic can help reduce anxiety and stress levels. Improved nerve function and reduced physical pain contribute to a greater sense of well-being and calm.

Better Digestion

The parasympathetic nervous system is crucial for digestion. By reducing nerve interference, chiropractic can improve digestive functions, helping to relieve problems such as acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, and other digestive disorders.

Testimonials and Success Stories

Many patients have experienced significant improvements in their overall health thanks to chiropractic. Many report a reduction in symptoms related to the autonomic nervous system, such as better digestion, less anxiety, and more restful sleep.

Conclusion

Chiropractic not only focuses on relieving physical pain, but also has a profound impact on the autonomic nervous system, improving nerve communication and promoting overall well-being. If you are looking for a natural way to improve your health and balance, consider consulting a chiropractor to explore how this approach can benefit you.

Many people who enjoy chiropractic care feel less stress, have more vitality and live better daily.

No, it isn't. Chiropractic is a sanitary profession complementary to and different from medicine (according to WHO).

It is studied in specialized chiropractic universities. The chiropractic professional receives a minimum training of 5 years that guarantees the quality and safety of the service it offers.

During the chiropractic university career, you don't study surgery or pharmacy but deeper physiology, anatomy, radiology, neurology, and specific manual chiropractic techniques.

As this profession hasn't been approved yet in Spain, you must go to a "true" chiropractic.

Many people use this legacy to practice manipulations of the vertebral column without the correct studies and knowledge.

For this reason, it is essential that, if you are looking for a chiropractor, you check the web of Asociación Española de Quiropráctica, where you can find recognized professionals with studies.
