The Nervous System-Chiropractic Connection: Why It Matters More Than You Think

Your spine is more than just a stack of bones—it's the central channel through which your brain communicates with your body. The nervous system controls every cell, tissue, and organ in your body, and spinal misalignments (also known as subluxations) can disrupt this crucial communication.

Chiropractors focus on correcting these misalignments to restore optimal nerve flow. Research from Haavik and Murphy (2012, Journal of Neurophysiology) demonstrates that spinal adjustments can influence brain function, particularly in the prefrontal cortex, which governs decision-making, attention, and sensorimotor integration.

This means that chiropractic care may not just help relieve back pain—it can enhance your body’s overall neurological function. Patients often report improvements in coordination, balance, and even mood after care. When your spine moves better, your brain works better—and that’s the foundation of better health.
