Wellness, family chiropractic practice for everybody. Our entire practice is setup to be focussed on you – to give you the health that you want.

To do this, we take a gentle approach and we always explain everything in advance, to make sure that you are fully informed. That falls in-line with our mission.

Something different in the office last week! Stephen hosted a small group of chiropractors and chiropractic students to talk about Spinal Somatics and run through a hands-on workshop.
It was great see their enthusiasm to learn!

The Stages of Stress we work with every day

• Stage 1 – Compensation •
This occurs when our healthy adaptive responses to short term stress remain on for extended periods of time, but our ‘reserve’ capacity remains high.

Towards the latter stages of Compensation symptoms associated with overload often begin but remain infrequent and short lived.

• Stage 2 – Dysfunction •
This occurs when your body can no longer compensate for the sustained changes caused by ongoing stress. Individual body systems begin to dysfunction and tissues are physically overloaded causing inflammation and pain. Symptoms progressively build with repeat episodes in this stage.

• Stage 3 – Dysregulation •
In this stage one or more systems in your body can no longer self-regulate, a basic requirement for health. Because of this, diagnosed conditions appear in this stage (if systems were continuing to self-regulate there would be nothing to diagnose).

Symptoms become constant or severe.

• Stage 4 – Breakdown •
This occurs when multiple systems break down or fail.

Go gentle.

Keep creating the conditions for healing and let time do the heavy lifting.

Healing from trauma requires patience and compassion for yourself.

Part of the job of your Sympathetic nervous system is to inhibit your ability to process emotion.

If a bear is running at you, you don’t want to be searching for your feelings. Your SNS shuts them down so you can still act rather than being overwhelmed.

The problem comes when we stay stressed, often for months or years. That compartmentalising and disconnecting from emotion becomes our default state.

It’s common when you begin getting adjusted to notice old or uncomfortable emotions surfacing as you begin to process them and let go.

When this happens change becomes much easier, and your resistance to positive emotions also reduces – letting more of the good stuff in.

What does Nervous System Dysregulation look like?

Your nervous system regulates the function of every other system in your body.
That’s why Dysregulation can show up in so many different ways for different people, depending on which system shows that it is breaking down.

• Anxiety
• Headaches or Migraines
• Palpitations
•Low Back Pain or Sciatica
• Autoimmune Disorders
• Insomnia
• Inflammatory Conditions
• Irritable Bowel
• Sexual Dysfunction
• Neck Pain
• Hormonal changes
• Irregular or Painful Periods
• High Blood Pressure
• Diabetes
• Eczema or Psoriasis
• Infertility
• Leaky Gut
• Nausea or Dizziness
• Exhaustion
• Depression

The progression of stress from acute to chronic

Stage 1 – Compensation
Stage 2 – Dysfunction
Stage 3 – Dysregulation
Stage 4 – Breakdown

In a healthy state our response to stresses is short lived and to an appropriate degree. It’s only when the residue of unresolved stress or trauma begins to accumulate that these healthy responses become exaggerated, chronic and occur to inappropriate stimulus.

The progression from acute to chronic stress follows a predictable pathway.

This tension aggregates around the spine which is the body’s central channel, and which houses the central nervous system.

When we’re working with this system the most sensitive areas are at each end – the cranial bones and upper neck, and the sacrum and pelvis (more on the reasons for this another post).

We always want to work with children while their nervous system and body is in the early, functional range of stress. This is before these loads build into changes associated with compensation, dysfunction or dysregulation.

The reason we work so gently is because the goal is to restore internal safety (as opposed to elevated stress) and help their nervous systems better self-regulate. Reduced physical tension and other beneficial changes happen as an expression of this change.

Safety vs Familiarity after Trauma

When you have experienced trauma, your brain can mistake what is familiar for what is safe.

We need internal safety to self-regulate and safety in relationships to co-regulate.

But often after trauma similar kinds of harmful or unhealthy situations and relationships repeat in cycles. It becomes difficult to break.

Working towards improved nervous system regulation helps us navigate the difference as we become aware of what safety feels like internally, and less hijacked by unhealthy emotional patterning.

This coming Monday will be Louren’s last shift before taking a break during August, and she only has a couple of spaces left if you’d like to see her before she goes!
She’ll be back to her usual Monday afternoon / Saturday morning hours from September 1st.

That means during August we’ll be open for Stephen’s shifts from Tuesday at 1pm through to early Friday morning.

Hanh will also be available for acupuncture on Friday mornings and Saturday afternoons (bookings are available on our website).

Call us on 9519 4729 or email@us at info@newtowncommunitychiropractic.com.au if you’d you like one of Louren’s Monday appointments before she heads off 🇫🇷
