The Spine-Nervous System Connection
Your spinal cord runs through the center of your spine, and every nerve in your body either originates there or passes through it. When spinal mobility is off, it doesn’t just cause structural pain—it literally interferes with how your nervous system communicates. Restoring alignment is, in a real sense, restoring the quality of the signal your body sends and receives.
Beyond Structural: Regulating the Autonomic Nervous System
Dr. Z’s approach goes beyond spinal mechanics. Using a framework informed by the work of Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing), Ron Kurtz (Hakomi Method), and other somatic therapy modalities, as well as chiropractic, yoga, and other body-based approaches, sessions are designed to help the autonomic nervous system—the branch of your nervous system responsible for stress and rest responses—shift toward greater flexibility and balance.
