Why Do We Address the Mind-Body Connection?
Emotional and psychological experiences are deeply intertwined with physical sensations, and addressing the body’s responses can help in healing and personal growth.
Here are some ways chiropractic and supporting therapies help to regulate the nervous system:
- Body awareness: Encourages patients to become more aware of their bodily sensations, feelings, and emotions. This increased awareness helps individuals recognize patterns of tension, stress, or discomfort that may be related to unresolved emotional experiences. By becoming more attuned to their body’s responses, clients gain insights into their emotional states and learn to self-regulate.
- Mind-body connection: Acknowledges the interconnection between the mind and body. Emotions and thoughts can trigger physical responses, and vice versa. It is important to explore the relationship between patients’ emotional state and the physical sensations they experience. Understanding these connections can lead to a more balanced and regulated nervous system.
- Regulating techniques: Incorporates various techniques that directly impact the nervous system’s regulation, such as breathing exercises, mindfulness practices, muscle relaxation, and grounding techniques. These methods are designed to calm the sympathetic nervous system (the body’s stress response) and activate the parasympathetic nervous system (the body’s relaxation response).
- Trauma resolution: Effective for individuals who have experienced trauma. Traumatic experiences can become stored in the body as physical sensations, subluxations, or muscle tension. By gently revisiting and processing these experiences in a safe and supportive environment, somatic therapy can help release and integrate the trapped energy associated with trauma, leading to nervous system regulation.
- Polyvagal theory: Explains how the nervous system responds to stress and danger. Nervous system-focused care can help clients identify when they are in a state of fight-flight-freeze (sympathetic response) and teach them how to activate the social engagement system (parasympathetic response), which is essential for feelings of safety and connection.
- Body-based interventions: Incorporating physical activities like dance, yoga, tai chi, chiropractic adjustments, or other expressive movements may help patients process emotions, release tension, and promote nervous system regulation.
These activities help engage the body’s natural self-regulatory mechanisms, which may improve emotional well-being and overall mental health.
Neurofeedback with OMNI
OMNI Neuro specializes in cutting-edge neurofeedback, brain mapping, and DNA to enhance brain function, mental clarity, and overall well-being.
The process begins with brain mapping (qEEG), a noninvasive assessment that provides a detailed picture of the brain’s activity. This identifies areas of imbalance, inefficiency, or dysregulation that may affect focus, sleep, stress levels, or overall mental performance.
Using advanced multi-modality neurofeedback helps train the brain to function more efficiently. This science-backed method harnesses neuroplasticity to improve cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and mental resilience without medications or invasive treatments.
OMNI Neuro believes in the subconscious cognitive potential through the power of science, technology, and individualized care. For more information, visit them on the Omninfb site.
