Stress and Wellness Care

Stress has a profound effect on the functioning of your nervous system and the quality of your life. There are three types of stress:

1. Physical  At all stages of life, injuries, accidents, and the stresses of daily life can shift the position of the spine and affect the functioning of the nervous system. Even during the first moments of life, pressure in the birth canal can shift an infant’s spine into an improper alignment.

2. Emotional  Feelings, moods, and attitudes can change your posture, body chemistry, and nervous system function.

3. Chemical  Junk food, alcohol, pollution, smoking, and drugs can disrupt the healthy balance of your nervous system.

The nervous system is the interface to all parts of your body. It controls every cell, tissue, and organ in your body. It operates continuously—24 hours a day, seven days a week—to keep your body working properly.

Nervous system function less Stress equals Wellness.

Your nervous system’s efficiency and effectiveness is referred to as your adaptability. When the stress in your body exceeds your body’s adaptability, nerve disturbance, or distress, occurs. Your body reacts by producing vertebral subluxation patterns: small misalignments in your spinal structure.

Subluxations cause interference to the nervous system and interfere with the vital mind-body connection required for good health. If subluxations are left uncorrected, your body's organs, tissues and structures function less effectively.

Most people aren't even aware that this condition exists in their bodies. Without intervention, this downward spiral continues. The result? Disease—and premature death.

Nervous system function more Stress  equals Disease

When Chiropractic Wellness Adjustments are made to subluxation patterns, the body's adaptability begins to exceed the stress levels and the body's ability to heal and regulate itself is improved.

When stress is managed with a well-functioning nervous system, your creativity and performance in all areas of your life are enhanced. Even after the first adjustment, your nervous system will adapt, and the next adjustment will build upon your previous adjustment.

The adaptability of your spine and nervous system improves as you continue with your care. You can think of chiropractic care and nervous system function as a workout program. When you begin, the frequency and intensity of your workout sessions creates changes in your body's physiological state. Once your conditioning improves, you can reduce the frequency and intensity to maintain the conditioning level you've achieved.

 Dr. V Asks some important questions of interest to Reseda residents - Chiropractor Reseda Dr. V Asks...

What's the difference between chiropractic and medicine?
Medical treatment focuses on the disease or the symptom. Chiropractic focuses on the person with the disease or the symptom. Medical treatment usually involves changing blood chemistry. Chiropractic involves restoring nervous system integrity. Medical doctors prescribe medicine. Chiropractors adjust the spine—a common source of nervous system interference.
What happens if you stop chiropractic care when you feel better?
Many Reseda folks recognize that this predisposes you to a relapse. Chiropractors know that muscles and ligaments supporting the spine don't fully heal until after symptoms subside.
