What Does Nervous System Regulation Mean?
Your nervous system controls how you respond to stress. When it stays in a constant state of alert, often called fight or flight, your body can feel tense and tired at the same time. Neurologically based chiropractic care looks at the relationship between your spine, your nervous system and how you feel, and aims to restore healthy motion so your body can shift out of that stress response more easily.

Tight neck, shoulders and jaw
Headaches that come with stressful weeks
Trouble winding down or sleeping well
Feeling wired and tired at the same time
Pain that keeps coming back or does not seem to have a clear cause
A constant sense of being on edge or burned out
