Stress & Nervous System Function

Your nervous system is constantly taking in information, responding to what is happening around you and helping your body adapt to the demands of everyday life.

It plays a central role in communication between the brain and body, coordinating movement and helping your body respond to physical and environmental stress. The spine and nervous system are closely connected, which is why spinal function forms an important part of the bigger picture we consider.

Stress can show up physically in many ways. You might notice more tension through your neck and shoulders, changes in the way you move or breathe, a clenched jaw, or simply the feeling that your body is holding onto more than usual.

We take the time to understand what your body has been dealing with and assess how your spine and body are moving and functioning as a whole.

If you’re curious about how your body is responding to the demands of everyday life let’s take a closer look.
