The nature of the problem and the shape of the solution:
The image above shows how we want the nervous system to manage threats and stress (in blue) and how the nervous system responds to threats or pain after trauma (in orange). In the ideal state, a threat presents itself, our self-defense mechanisms activate, the threat is resolved, and we return to a steady and comfortable baseline.
After trauma (and some other types of experiences), the baseline changes, and our nervous systems can become accustomed to a heightened stress and threat level. We’re armored up and on guard by default. We’re more stressed out because we’re waiting for the other shoe to drop, and higher stress can make us feel more tired, more in pain, or make us more susceptible to illness and injury. The goal of NeuroSomatic Integration and Chiropractic care is to lower the baseline stress level you’re operating from, move more freely, breathe more fully, and feel more like yourself again.
Chiropractic and Posture
It’s possible to change your posture. Check out some of these posture studies from previous patients and see how getting adjusted regularly can really shift the shapes you’re moving through the world in.
I’ve worked with patients on:
- Posture
- Headaches
- Sleep disorders
- Digestive system difficulties
- Back pain, neck pain, leg, arm and hand pain
- Chronic stress
- Anxiety
- Nervous system dysregulation
- Trauma
