Chiropractic for overall health has always been observed, but here is a gem helping to connect the why.
Chiropractic care, especially from practitioners trained in cranial and pediatric adjusting, have the unique ability to evaluate for and correct vagus nerve imbalance. The chiropractic approach involves a detailed evaluation protocol to determine where and how the vagus nerve is being compromised, then specific adjusting protocols to remove or reduce irritation to the vagus nerve and surrounding structure.
Since the vagus nerve is a master regulator of many bodily systems. When it’s out of balance, it affects more than just one symptom, it disrupts the communication between brain and body. Chiropractic care that addresses structural, cranial, and neurological alignment can help reset that communication, often improving both physical and emotional well-being.
In infants and children, restoring vagal tone can lead to improvements in colic, reflux, nursing issues, sleep regulation, and overall neurological development.
A Final Thought
Whether you’re a parent noticing developmental challenges in your baby or an adult dealing with chronic digestive or stress-related symptoms, vagus nerve dysfunction may be the missing link. Chiropractic offers a safe, gentle, and neurologically-based approach to restoring vagal tone and improving overall health.
