Have you ever heard of the “Safety Pin Cycle”?
It’s one of my favorite ways to understand how chiropractic works with your nervous system.
🧠 The head of the pin = your brain
🧍♂️🧍♀️The clasp at the bottom = your body
When the pin is closed, everything is connected. Messages flow from the brain to the body and from the body back to the brain. This two-way communication keeps you functioning, healing, and adapting to life.
But when a vertebral subluxation is present (misalignment or altered movement in the spine that disrupts neurophysiological function) your “pin” opens. The loop is interrupted. Communication becomes unclear, stressed, or distorted.
That’s where chiropractic comes in.
A gentle, specific chiropractic adjustment helps restore normal alignment and function, allowing that safety pin to “close” again, reconnecting the brain-body loop so your system can work the way it was designed to.
