Chiropractic Focus: Relationship of the Nervous System and Spine

Chiropractic Focus: Relationship of the Nervous System and Spine from Woods Chiropractic PC in Indianapolis, INThe nervous system and spine are connected in their function within the body, and chiropractic care knows this. Specifically, the brain and nervous system send signals to the rest of the body, transporting these signals through the spine. This chiropractic review discusses the relationship between these two integral functions of the human body.

Chiropractic care: A focus on the nervous system and spine

By learning more about how the nervous system and the spine are connected and help the body function, you can help understand the cause of certain symptoms and health conditions. Additionally, we can discuss how chiropractic care can help with issues related to the nervous system and spine.

A general overview of chiropractic care

Chiropractic care focuses on issues related to the musculoskeletal system (primarily the spine) and the central nervous system. Chiropractic care primarily involves the use of chiropractic manipulations to improve the spine’s alignment and overall function and strength. It is also a non-invasive and non-surgical form of treatment that many rely upon for back, neck, leg, and shoulder pain relief.

The relationship between the nervous system and the spine

The brain and the spinal cord make up the body’s central nervous system. The brain sends messages to the body, and it delivers the messages through the body’s spinal cord. Subsequently, any damage to the spinal cord can have a negative impact on the body’s central nervous system and lead to impairments. This is why chiropractors focus on the complete health of the body’s spine and musculoskeletal system in general as it can help with the body’s nervous system and the brain’s ability to deliver messages to the body.

The primary types of chiropractic treatment services

As mentioned previously, the primary type of chiropractic treatment is known as chiropractic manipulation (or a chiropractic adjustment). This non-surgical procedure consists of multiple thrusts placed on pressure points of the body by the chiropractor to alleviate tension and discomfort and improve range of motion and alignment.

Patients are usually advised to receive multiple adjustments over the course of several weeks or months to receive the full benefit. They may also recommend additional treatments and work with the patient to improve their symptoms through lifestyle and dietary improvements as well.

When to consider chiropractic care for the spine

If there is ever pain of the back, neck, shoulder, or leg that is unexplained and does not improve on its own, then it could be a sign of an issue with the central nervous system and/or the spine, and it can be beneficial to visit a chiropractor to determine the cause of the discomfort and what can be done to alleviate the discomfort long-term.
