Your heart is racing at 2am… and it is not because you were running. ❤️
You are lying there exhausted, but your chest feels tight, your thoughts will not slow down, and your body is stuck in “go mode.” Coffee did not cause that. Your calendar did not either. Your nervous system is overwhelmed.
When your body lives in fight or flight, your heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormones stay elevated longer than they should. Over time, that constant stress load affects how your heart functions and recovers. 🫀
Your spine protects the pathways that help regulate heart rate and blood vessel tone. When subluxation patterns disrupt proper afferent input, your brain does not regulate stress as efficiently. That means your heart works harder than it needs to.
Chiropractic care supports better communication between your brain and body. When we restore healthy motion and proprioceptive input, many patients notice steadier heart rates, improved stress resilience, and deeper sleep.
This is about function, not chasing symptoms. A regulated nervous system supports a resilient heart.
If you have been feeling wired, tense, or constantly “on,” your heart may be asking for better nervous system support. Send me a DM or call the office to schedule a nervous system check.
