At Capital Chiropractic, a chiropractic adjustment in Nepean does so much more than just release a joint, taking pressure off the nerves and muscles.

A 2011 study by 9 doctors using PET scan technology (neuro-imaging technique) found that ONE CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENT did so much.

What one chiropractic adjustment in Nepean can do

1. The sympathetic tone was inhibited (i.e. anti-stress effect)
   This literally means that your body has a harder time feeling stressed when you get adjusted. Think about that! Wow!
2. Salivary amylase was decreased (drop in the feeling of being stressed)
   This is a measurement of the type of saliva that is present in someone that is highly stressed.
3. Regional brain metabolic changes (the brain is greatly influenced by the spine)
   The metabolism of your brain is altered - it becomes more efficient in its firing (hence your general feeling of more energy) and it quiets down, just like it would in a stress-free environment.
4. Decreased muscle hypertonicity (relaxation of muscles)
   The muscles around the neck, shoulders, and back all release their tension.
5. Decreased pain intensity (feeling better)
   Pain is a chemical reaction. The depolarization level of mechanoreceptors and pain receptors is altered to a level that they would be in a stress-free person.

What does this all mean?

This proves that no matter your age, your health, your heritage, or your genetics…

Your SPINAL HEALTH will dictate your NERVE SYSTEM FUNCTION!

Your spine is your lifeline. Making sure that your spine is functioning at its best is an integral part of being healthy.
