Your spine doesn’t just support your body. It also influences how your nervous system responds to stress.
Researchers found that adjusting different parts of the spine can create different effects in the body’s “speed up” and “slow down” systems.
When the neck was adjusted, the body showed signs of shifting into a calmer, more restorative mode.
Adjustments in the mid-back tended to activate the system responsible for alertness and readiness.
Why does this matter?
Because it shows that chiropractic care can help the nervous system find better balance, whether your body needs to unwind or gear up.
In other words, adjustments don’t just help you feel better physically. They can also support the natural rhythms that help you handle stress, relax, and function at your best.
