Your body keeps the score—whether you’re aware of it or not.
Every stressor, every unprocessed emotion, every trauma your body experiences is stored in your nervous system. When those experiences aren’t released, your body adapts by staying in survival mode—stuck in fight or flight and unable to shift into the rest, heal, and digest state where true healing happens.
Chronic stress doesn’t just live in your mind—it lives in your nervous system.
When your nervous system stays in sympathetic overdrive, stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline flood the body. Muscles tighten to protect you, compensation patterns form, and suddenly your body is physically holding onto stress and tension your mind might not even remember.
The result? A weakened immune system, increased inflammation, poor digestion, disrupted sleep, and a body that forgets what safety feels like—even when there’s no real danger present.
Suppressed emotions don’t disappear—they get stored as tension patterns in the body.
Your nervous system is designed to process stress and return to baseline. But when stress becomes chronic or trauma goes unhealed, the body gets stuck. Nervous system dysregulation sets in, and “safety” begins to feel foreign.
Chiropractic care goes far beyond physical pain—it supports healing from the inside out.
At Backwoods Chiropractic, we don’t just adjust your spine—we remove interference from the nervous system so your body can finally release what it’s been holding onto. Gentle, specific adjustments help your system shift out of survival mode and restore communication between the brain and body.
True healing isn’t about adding something from the outside.
It’s about removing interference so your body’s innate intelligence can adapt, regulate, and heal—exactly as it was designed to.
