Exactly how does chiropractic improve brain function?
Initial research indicates that blood flow to the brain improves and that chiropractic adjustments decrease inflammation and stress on the nervous system leading to decreased anxiety, improved well-being and improved brain function. Adjustments appear to balance nerve reflexes in the spinal cord. Other mechanisms may be involved as well. (1-3)
It is most important that all students get their spines checked by a Doctor of Chiropractic so they may function at their best. Give your child a winning edge – bring them in for a chiropractic checkup. Call and make an appointment today! (517) 627-4547
