โšก๏ธ 5 Ways To Tell If Your Nervous System Is Stuck In Fight or Flight

The sympathetic side of our nervous system ๐Ÿง  (aka fight or flight) is our bodyโ€™s natural reaction to the stress we endure everyday.
Thank GOODNESS itโ€™s there because itโ€™s absolutely necessary in certain situations. Itโ€™s the only reason we react quickly by slamming on our brakes when a deer runs out in the middle of the road ๐ŸฆŒ or put our hands up to our face when a ball flies our way โšพ๏ธ

However, the more stress we endure the more engaged and ingrained this fight or flight mechanism becomes. Before long, itโ€™s the primary way we perceive life as we know it and our health begins to deteriorate as a result.

Our neurologic focused adjustments help stimulate parasympathetic function (aka rest and digest) by calming and balancing your nervous system. The parasympathetic system does exactly what it sounds like it would - allows for rest, repair, optimal digestion, immune function, hormonal regulation, energy, and healing! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

If you or your child are stuck in the cycle, youโ€™re not alone!

Life can be overwhelming. Not only for adults, but for kids too. Daily stressors can wear down and overwhelm the nervous system leading to the Fight or Flight response.

Fight or Flight in an adult that looks like brain fog, poor sleep, digestive struggles, anxiety, tension, chronic fatigue and more.
Fight or Flight in a child looks like attention/focus struggles, sensory processing struggles, anxiety, low self confidence, night terrors, constipation and more.

We use non invasive neurologic stress scans to measure neurologic dysregulation so we can get to the root cause of the problem.

Our care goes deeper.
And it changes everything.

Every child deserves to live life to their fullest potential ๐Ÿ’ซ

And that starts with checking in on their nervous system.
We look beyond symptoms, such as meltdowns, trouble sleeping, or constant stomachaches, and get to the root of the issue.

Because when the nervous system is regulated, everything else starts to shift.

If you or your child is struggling with a multitude of symptoms that have led you down the road of numerous specialists and maybe even medications, but you still donโ€™t have answers and effective results, itโ€™s time to learn more about dysautonomia. ๐Ÿง 

Over the last few years, weโ€™ve seen a massive increase in the rates of things like digestive disorders, anxiety, brain fog, chronic fatigue or exhaustion, and emotional dysregulation in adults and kids. ๐Ÿ˜ž

While medicine may fail to link all these challenges together, more and more people are finding the answers theyโ€™ve been searching for when they learn about dysautonomia and the role the autonomic nervous system and Vagus nerve may be playing in ALL of it. ๐Ÿง 

As neurologically focused chiropractors, we can objectively measure the level of neurologic dysfunction and create a customized plan to help you be the best version of yourself!

Trust me, everyone in our tribe here at Health by Hands has been there, understands that feeling and would give you the same advice....get scanned!

We talk constantly about Brain-Body communication! But what does it mean??

๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ Proprioception - movement based brain input that creates awareness our bodies and our environment

๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซNociception - this is the type of input that occurs in response to noxious stimuli like pain, injury and stress.

Our neurologic stress scans show where too much stress stimulation to the brain ๐Ÿง  is causing the nervous system to get stuck on the Gas Pedal (sympathetic function - think fight or flight).
Once we know where stress is "stuck" in the nervous system we can start to pump the Brake Pedal (parasympathetic function -think rest & digest)! ๐Ÿ’ฅ

A nervous system stuck in the sympathetic spectrum can struggle with
โŒ attention/focus
โŒ anxiety
โŒ emotional regulation
โŒ sensory processing
โŒ sleep
โŒ digestion
โŒ low energy/fatigue
and more!

Do you or your child feel like your nervous system needs some help to get back on the Brake Pedal? We would love โค๏ธ to help!

Heart rate variability, or ๐‡๐‘๐• for short, is ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ž ๐๐จ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ž๐ฐ ๐๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐„๐ฑ๐š๐ฆ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐š๐ญ ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐„๐ฑ๐š๐ฆ! HRV is a measure of the variation in time between each heartbeat and is controlled by our autonomic nervous system.

HRV is an amazing way to ๐œ๐ก๐ž๐œ๐ค ๐ข๐ฆ๐›๐š๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐š๐ฎ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐œ ๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ฆ. If a person is stuck in "fight-or-flight" (a.k.a. sympathetic state), their HRV score is low. If a person is more relaxed and in "rest and digest" (a.k.a. parasympathetic state) their HRV score is higher.

A higher HRV means the nervous system is calmer and can better adapt to stressors that come about. It means you are more resilient. Health is ultimately how well can your body adapt and heal.

Our care plans are designed to remove nervous system interference. When you can remove interference the nervous system can adapt and heal better. This allows the body to obtain a calmer parasympathetic state.

The prenatal period and the birth process can be very stressful on a delicate and developing nervous system (which is the controller of all things).

Valerie's Mom had quite the stressful pregnancy and went through a very difficult delivery. This caused Valerie's developing and impressionable nervous system to be overwhelmed and dysregulated from the start of her life.
Her neurological scans showed just that; an overwhelmed and dysregulated brain and body that was getting in the way of optimal neurodevelopment. ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป
โŒ chronic allergies
โŒ poor sleep
โŒ sensory processing struggles
โŒ emotional dysregulation
โŒ digestive struggles
โŒ anxiety

When Mom and Dad saw the scans they were shocked, but at the same time understanding because for the first time Valerie's struggles were starting to make sense.

Once Valerie started receiving consistent and gentle neurologically focused adjustments, she reached some really big victories!!
โœ… improved allergies
โœ… better mood regulation
โœ… better sleep
โœ… happier
โœ… improved digestion
โœ… less anxiety

Yay Valerie! We are so proud of you and your progress!! ๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽ‰

We LOVE to share the life changing success kiddos see in our office so much that we often get asked โ€œDo you see adults?โ€
The answer is a resounding "YES!"
Adults are just as susceptible to stress induced subluxation in the nervous system.
What does a dysregulated nervous system in an adult look like?

๐Ÿฅบ Sleep disturbances
๐Ÿ’ฉ Digestive problems
๐Ÿคง Weakened immune function
๐Ÿ˜ก Mental and emotional challenges
โ˜น๏ธ Chronic tension and headaches
๐Ÿ˜ฉ Persistent exhaustion

Just like the kiddos we see, it's highly likely that subluxation and an imbalanced nervous system are at the core of your health challenges, too.
Give us a call or DM to get your non-invasive neurologic stress scans scheduled!
