Oftentimes there is an effort to make human health more complicated than it needs to be. Yes, sometimes it gets complicated, but mostly after we have ignored the simple solutions. 

According to the National Institute of Health (NIH) 80% of chronic disease could be prevented and cardiovascular disease, stroke, dementia, and cancer are all influenced by lifestyle. 

Let’s dig a little deeper. What is it about our lifestyle that fosters chronic degenerative disease? 

Our modern lifestyle is filled with different types of stress:

• Physical stress
• Emotional stress
• Chemical stress

These stressors cause an imbalance in the Autonomic Nervous System with an overactivity of the Sympathetic “fight or flight” System and an inhibition of the health and wellness supporting Vagus Nerve of the Parasympathetic “rest and digest” System. 

IT’S ABOUT IMBALANCE

Another way to view problems like neck and back pain, headaches, fatigue, anxiety, and sleep problems is that they are due to an imbalance in the nervous system. 

When the structure of the pelvis and spine become misaligned it causes an imbalance in the Autonomic Nervous System with overactivity of the Sympathetic system and a progressive inhibition of the Vagus Nerve. 

Overcoming every chronic health challenge is about restoring balance:

• Structural Balance is restored with corrective chiropractic care that seeks to restore motion, balance and alignment in the pelvis and spine. This greatly reduces irritation to the Autonomic Nervous System.
• Chemical Balance is improved with a healthy diet and minimizing sugar, alcohol, drugs.
• Emotional Stress is improved by eliminating obvious toxic relationships, getting sufficient rest, and fostering valuable relationships. 

CORRECTIVE REBALANCING PROGRAM

At Life Chiropractic in Grass Valley we have put together a comprehensive program to help the body return to a state of balance. The focus is on structural and neurological balance using these 4 components:

Corrective chiropractic is the most powerful treatment you can receive but we need more to counteract all the physical challenges of modern life like excess sitting, inactivity, repetitive movements, and screen time.

#3 Spinal Joint Flossing
