Two components of the spine affect everything that we do. The first is contributing to our structure. The spine is connected to every part of the body - from head and shoulders to hips. When it works well - we do, too. And when it doesn’t, there is a lot that we can’t do. The spine is also the body’s nerve carrier. Everything our brains do to regulate our body travels out to the appendages and back via the vertebral tunnel. No skeletal form is so entrenched in so much of what we do, which is why the spine can be surprisingly involved in how much energy we feel.
When the hips, sacrum and vertebrae are in alignment, you’re the most protected from energy waste. Because when they’re not, you’re now carrying your own weight inefficiently. Everyone knows how hard it is to carry a watermelon, and one reason is because your back is forced to muscle the weight and still support your body. So if any part of your body isn’t properly aligned, that’s a little like carrying around a watermelon. Of course a little misalignment is nowhere near as heavy, but the effect of carrying that imbalanced weight on your back and related structures, day after day, can drain your energy without you knowing why.
Chiropractic adjustments can restore the balance that you enjoyed earlier in life. This places chiropractic at the leading edge of non-invasive, natural healing. When you go to a chiropractor for fatigue, you open the door to a renaissance in your personal care and well being. While fatigue could be caused by an issue in your adrenal gland, approaching a chiropractor is a wonderful therapeutic complement to your treatment.
