Your spine isn’t just bones — it’s information!
🧠 Occiput (base of the skull):
This area is a major neurological crossroads. I often see occipital dysfunction linked to headaches, neck tension, jaw issues, sinus pressure, and even stress overload. Restriction here can change (disrupt) how the nervous system processes information.
🩸 Vertebral arteries:
These arteries supply blood to the brainstem, cerebellum, and balance centers. When this system is under strain, people may experience headaches, dizziness, visual changes, brain fog, and more.
⚡ Spinal nerves:
Spinal nerves carry messages between the brain, organs, muscles, and immune system. In Applied Kinesiology, we don’t just ask where a nerve is irritated — we ask why.
Joint dysfunction, muscle inhibition, inflammation, or even visceral (organ) stress can alter nerve signaling. This shows up as pinching, tingling, burning, weakness, shooting pain, or poor muscle activation.
🦴 Anterior = front ; posterior = back
✨ Why does this matter?
When we improve spinal function, neurological communication improves MEANING the body can adapt, heal, and regulate more efficiently!
