What is Neurologically based Chiropractic Care?
Neurologically based chiropractic care is a specialized approach that focuses on the FUNCTION of the nervous system. Specifically the communication between the brain and body through the spinal nerves. There are 10 cranial nerves and 31 pair of spinal nerves that exit through small gaps between the bones of the spine.
Holistic Approach to Healthcare:
The holistic approach to healthcare encompasses treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms they present. It considers physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects of health to promote overall well-being. This approach recognizes the interconnectedness of various factors in a person's life that can influence their health. By addressing the root causes and supporting the body's natural healing processes, holistic healthcare aims to achieve optimal health and wellness. Neurologically based Chiropractic care is one modality that aligns with the holistic approach by focusing on restoring proper function to the nervous system, which plays a crucial role in overall health.
This form of chiropractic care emphasizes the impact that spinal alignment can have on overall health and well-being. By ensuring that the spine is properly aligned, neurologically based chiropractors aim to optimize nerve function and support the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Spinal nerves go to each muscle, tissue, and organ in your body. If there is inflammation or irritation on any of those spinal nerves (which can be caused by activities of daily living or trauma) it can create dysfunction throughout the body. The dysfunction can include headaches, sinus congestion, ringing in the ears, numbness in arms and legs, bladder incontinence, irregular mensural cycles, low hormone levels (including testosterone), joint pain, digestive issues, anxiety, and a laundry list of other symptoms. The symptoms you experience are your bodies way of sending you “check engine” lights or “smoke alarms.” Luckily for the Raleigh area, Adapt Chiropractic is a neurologically based chiropractic office! We use technology in the office to find which nerves are inflamed and/or irritated as well as finding the muscular asymmetries along the spinal column. This knowledge allows Dr. Nikolai to give even more precise spinal stimulants to adjust and correct the dysfunction occurring in body.
Neurologically based Chiropractic Care for Children
Most people think of adults when they think of someone going to a chiropractor, however, neurologically based chiropractors are for everyone! For infants/newborns, they have been scrunched up in a belly for 9-10 months and then go through the birthing process which can be traumatic on their bodies. Many symptoms can get brushed off as regular baby behavior, such as; acid reflux, favoring one side during head rotation, food sensitivities, constipation, gassy, being very ridged, not sleeping well, not latching well, tongue ties, ear infections, teething, etc. For Toddlers and younger children, they are learning how to walk, being introduced to team and individual sports, starting preschool and daycare; which all impact their nervous system and overall function of their bodies. Neurologically based chiropractors can help with mood regulation, growing pains, bedwetting, sleep quality, coordination, recovery from injury, boost immune function, and many other health concerns! As children age into teenagers, they can experience more headaches (possibly from study posture or technology), increased anxiety, decreased concentration, hormone imbalances, and coordination while they experience growth spurts. Luckily, Adapt Chiropractic can help with all of these possible symptoms and many more, since we focus on the nervous system and the overall function of one’s body.
