How does the body respond to a chiropractic adjustment?
If you are new to chiropractic or a patient of 10 years, its cool to understand what we do and how the body reacts to it
Let's step back in time, Manual Therapy began as early as 400BC, and today it helps to decrease pain, implying the neurophysiological response is the descending pain modulation circuit may be the mechanism in the analgesic effect of manual therapies
Studies have found that people who had neck and back adjustments Experienced
- decrease in neurotensin ( a neurotransmitter in the Brian and a hormone for your gut!)
- Increase in Orexin A (regulates wakefulness, feeding, thermogenesis)
- Decrease in Oxytocin (stimulates contraction)
- Decrease in cortisol (maintains blood pressure, immune function, and anti-inflammatory processes)
After a connective tissue massage, people often experience some pain relief, and now we know why -
Research shows that there is a significant increase in Plasma B endorphins levels
- beta-endorphins play a role in analgesia, regulation, anxiety, appetitive and temperature regulation
