Chiropractic and the Nervous System
Chiropractic is a health profession that focuses on improving the functionality of the nervous system and the body as a whole through a comprehensive and holistic approach.
The nervous system is the first system to develop in the body, coordinating every organ, muscle, gland, and cell so that each can function in perfect synchrony.
The brain constantly receives information from the external and internal world, and thanks to the functioning of the nervous system, it can adequately respond to the needs of the moment, sending information back to the body. This process involves constant optimal adaptation of the body, commonly called health.
This connection between the brain and the rest of the body is crucial for regulating stress, pain, and other symptoms that may appear in other systems.
The Central Nervous System (CNS), composed of the brain and the spinal cord, is the only organ in the body that is completely protected by a layer of bone: the skull protects the brain, and the spine protects the spinal cord. We can imagine the spinal cord as a highway that transports all the information from the body to the brain and vice versa, being an essential element for the proper functioning of the nervous system.

How Does Chiropractic Work with the Nervous System?
Chiropractors are trained professionals to analyze, detect, and correct nervous interferences through specific, safe, and non-invasive manual adjustments. These interferences can affect communication between the brain and the body, hindering its proper functioning.
One of the main objectives of chiropractic is to maintain good communication between the central nervous system (brain and spine) and the rest of the body.
Chiropractic adjustments are mainly performed on the spine and consist of high-velocity, low-amplitude impulses that stimulate nerve receptors in the body.
As certified professionals, we ensure that each adjustment is specific, painless, and safe for the patient.

Why Do I Have Nervous Interferences in My Body?
Our body constantly adapts to various types of stress every day to keep us in an optimal state.
Physical Stress
Due to accidents, impacts, heavy falls, lifting weight incorrectly, maintaining bad postures for extended periods, childbirth, or practicing elite sports.
Emotional Stress
Caused by human relationships, chronic nervousness, economic concerns, family exhaustion, employment, the relationship with a partner, difficulty managing children, and relationships with friends.
Chemical Stress
In our lifestyle, we often lack time and frequently resort to quick solutions, exposing us to a large number of toxins. For example, in fast food, environmental pollution, beauty products, or cleaning products.
Chiropractic under Science
A study of 2,818 patients who received chiropractic care in the United States and worldwide showed that chiropractic care is associated with a profound and statistically significant improvement in areas of well-being. Patients report changes in: physical well-being, decreased perceived stress levels, enjoyment of life, lifestyle changes, emotional well-being, psychological well-being, and quality of life.
