The Sequence of Adrenal Fatigue → What Does This Have to Do with Chiropractic?
This image highlights the 3 stages of stress response:
1️⃣ Alarm Stage – Your body goes into “fight or flight.” Cortisol and adrenaline surge.
2️⃣ Resistance Stage – You push through. Stress hormones stay elevated. Fatigue begins creeping in.
3️⃣ Exhaustion Stage – Your system is depleted. Energy crashes, sleep suffers, hormones become imbalanced.
But here’s what many people don’t realize 👇
Your nervous system controls your hormones.
The adrenal glands don’t act alone — they respond to signals from the brain through the nervous system. When chronic stress, poor posture, spinal misalignments, or lifestyle overload keep your body in survival mode, your stress hormones can stay elevated far longer than they should.
✨ This is where chiropractic care comes in.
Chiropractic adjustments support:
✔️ Proper nervous system communication
✔️ Improved stress adaptability
✔️ Regulation of the fight-or-flight response
✔️ Better sleep and recovery
✔️ Overall hormonal balance
