Connection is an important word in our Minnetonka MN chiropractic office that you will hear a lot. But what exactly does it mean for you to be ‘Connected’?

We first have to take a lesson in basic human anatomy and physiology in order to understand. Your brain is continuously powering your entire body through electrical signals. It is responsible for your heart beating, your lungs breathing, your hands holding this sheet of paper and your eyes reading this phenomenal chiropractic educational piece. Every single action that you can think of must first be initiated via the brain.

Brain connection in Minnetonka MN

In order for the body to heal and perform at 100%, the brain must be able to send all of its messages out to the body without interruption. The brain sends signals down your spinal cord, out through the spinal nerves and then out to the body. In fact, the brain is constantly in direct communication with every one of the 4 trillion cells that make up your amazing body. This brings up the key point:  The power from your brain is literally “Connected” to all of the cells in your body.

The problem comes when the messages the brain is sending out to the body become disconnected. This happens when vertebra in your back shift out of alignment and pinch off the nerves, causing miscommunication between the brain and the body. Anything that interferes with brain-body communication will lower health!

Misalignment of the spine

Imagine a vertebra slipping out of alignment and pinching off a spinal nerve, blocking off 60% of all the signals it is sending. Often times, this happens without your conscious feeling, because only a small portion of the nerves in your back are dedicated to sensation. How well do you think your heart would work if it was only getting 60% of the signals from the brain!?

The goal in our office is to ‘re-connect” the brain back to the body by adjusting the vertebra back into place. Doing this restores the healing power and function back to 100% in every cell of your body… because your life is better when you’re connected!
