With today’s modern mix of hectic schedules, excess screentime, and poor posture from sitting at a computer all day, it’s no surprise that our nervous systems are under constant assault. More now than ever people are suffering from chronic pain, sleeplessness, anxiety, and tension related issues. Luckily, there is a great way to help stave off a lot of these modern, technology related issues all in one place: your local holistic medicine practitioner! They can use the time-honored techniques of mindfulness, acupuncture, and chiropractic care, to help you stay above water when it comes to your total health picture. They work together to help regulate and all-but eliminate your body’s stress responses and promote a real and powerful healing factor. In today’s blog, we’re going to cover why mindfulness, acupuncture, and chiropractic care make a fantastic trio that everyone should be integrating into their healthcare routine.
The Importance Of Mindfulness In Health
Your mind is a powerful health indicator. When your mind is stressed out or otherwise sick, it can have devastating impacts on the rest of your body and your health! Mindfulness is the key. If you concentrate on achieving or at least promoting mindfulness in yourself, you can help improve your overall nervous system health by doing the following which:
- Activates the parasympathetic (rest and digest) response
- Reduces cortisol levels (stress hormone)
- Enhances brain plasticity and emotional regulation
- Improves sleep, reduces anxiety, and increases focus
Acupuncture: Energy Flow Meets Neurological Regulation
Acupuncture doesn’t specifically help with your mind, but it really helps to support your nervous system in some incredible ways. Once you have started on your mindfulness journey, it’s time to approach a regular treatment plan of acupuncture in order to help further support your nervous system as well as your overall health.
How acupuncture supports the nervous system:
- Stimulates the release of endorphins (natural painkillers)
- Regulates neurotransmitters involved in mood and stress
- Improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain and muscles
- Calms the sympathetic system and enhances vagus nerve tone
Chiropractic Care Helps To Align Your Body (Bones, Specifically) To Help Support Your Brain
Regular chiropractic care by a licensed professional, like we have here at Evolution Integrative Medicine, helps to maintain the overall health and function of your spine and nervous system. So much of your body’s total nervous system is housed within your spine and when your spine is out of whack, or you develop what are called subluxations, they can really interfere with the nerve signals between your brain and body, causing a cascading series of symptoms and poor health outcomes. We highly recommend combining a regular acupuncture routine, chiropractic routine, and an aggressive mindfulness routine into your schedule in order to reset and maintain a healthy balance both inside and out.
