The spine plays a pivotal role in the functioning of the brain and nervous system, making its health essential for maintaining well-being.
“Everything’s interconnected, and there’s nonstop communication within the joints of the spine. There are different sensors within the spine that are constantly communicating with the brain; they tell the brain where the body’s position is in space and how to balance, coordinate, move, and use muscles,” said Dr. Stackis.
The Impact of Spinal Health on Cognitive Function and Mood
The spine’s alignment is directly linked to the performance of the nervous system, which controls every single function in the body. “When the spine is out of alignment, it’s going to interfere with those nerves, which is going to have an impact on your overall health and well-being. It can even affect your mood because when people are in pain, they’re not happy,” said Dr. Stackis.
Chiropractic Care: Optimizing Spinal and Brain Health
Proper spinal alignment is essential for optimal communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Misalignments can disrupt this communication, leading to various health issues. The nervous system controls everything and is protected by the spine and skull. Keeping people in proper spinal alignment through regular adjustments ensures that communication between the brain and the rest of the body functions at its best.
Additionally, Dr. Stackis often recommends exercises to enhance circulation and sometimes nutritional supplements, such as omega-3 fatty acids, which are important to the body.
