Brain-to-Stomach—Stomach-to-Brain

In the golden days of the telegraph, lacking punctuation marks, the word STOP was often used to indicate the end of each sentence. You’ll hear something similar when those using a two-way radio end each transmission with the word, "OVER."

That’s because unlike the brain-to-body communications of our nervous system, these technologies lack the ability to carry on simultaneous two-way communications.

Controlling and regulating nerve impulses leave your brain, travel down your spinal cord to pairs of nerve roots exiting from between each pair of spinal bones and out to every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. Simultaneously, messages from the body are constantly sent back to the brain. Even the slightest distortion or disturbance of these vital messages to or from the brain can produce malfunctioning organs or tissues.

This is why a stomach problem may not be a stomach problem! Instead, it might be a brain-to-stomach or stomach-to-brain communication problem.

That’s why chiropractic works so well. We look for nervous system disturbances (usually from the moving bones of the spine) that are interfering with the proper expression of your body. Locating and reducing these communication impairments with safe and natural chiropractic care help restore proper function and good health.
