Why, as a student, Chiropractic can give you an edge

http://www.bridgechiropractic.com/ 360-574-5944  Studies show that chronic stress physiology can lead to chronic changes in cognition.  Cells in the hippocampus (the part of our brain that retains facts and responsible for focus and concentration) actually shrink!

Interestingly research also shows that chiropractic adjustments have the same positive effect that exercise has on the brain (namely increasing the size of hippocampal cells).

The model is simple,

1. A healthy brain needs constant proprioceptive input and stimulation from all joints of the body (especially the spine).
2. When the spine and its articulating joints lose normal motion or position (we call this a subluxation), proprioceptive input is reduced and the brain stimulates stress centres- makes you stupid and less focused.
3. Chiropractic adjustments restore normal motion and position thereby improving proprioception to the brain and nerve function to the body.
4. Brain experiences less stress and more cognitive ability- you stay smart, sharp and stress-free.

How’s that for a sure-fire way to stay on top of your grades and experience health and wellness at the same time.

So how do you know when you need a spine and nerve system check-up?  Here are some sure fire student signs and symptoms.
