is
about romance and flowers and chocolate. We'll probably be reminded
numerous times of recent studies claiming that consuming dark chocolate
may cut heart disease. But, did you know that chiropractic is also
good for the heart??
When we talk about the heart most people think about blood, and the
job the heart does pumping that blood throughout the body. But what
about the connection between the brain and the heart, we don't hear
as much information about that. Like every organ in the body, the
heart is controlled by the nervous system. Subluxation causes the
nervous system to move out of balance and towards sympathetic (fight
or flight) dominance. This process increases stress hormone secretion,
inflammatory processes, and blood vessel tone. For many individuals
this results in higher blood pressure. Chiropractic adjustments remove
subluxation and restore harmony to the nervous system allowing the
body to stabilize and heal appropriately. Adjustments to the spine
may lower blood pressure in individuals suffering from hypertension
and improve the overall health of the heart.
So
this Valentine's Day be good to your heart and see Dr. Burtis about
improving the health of your heart.
