Men's health and Dads need nervous system care in Orlando too!

Dads are typically the last ones in the family to seek out wellness care. It's very common in our society for men to bottle up emotional and physical pain. But now more than ever, men need nervous system care in Orlando.

On average, 1 in 8 men suffer from depression, and 1 in 5 experience anxiety, or some form of anxiety in their lifetime. It has also been found that men are less likely to speak about their anxiety and/or depression, which obviously can cause it to escalate even further.

How can addressing the nervous system help in Orlando?

Stress and anxiety lives in a sympathetic, fight-or-flight state. The body needs to be able to go into a fight-or-flight state to survive, but it's not designed to stay there for long periods of time. When the body is "stuck" in this state, it can lead to so many negative health effects, such as a decreased mental state, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, etc.

In order to have proper emotional and physical responses like restorative sleep, optimal digestion, and increased immune system function, the body has to be in a parasympathetic (rest and digest) dominant state. A calmer nervous system that is in a parasympathetic state, assists in decreasing anxiety, which can lead to more creativity, clearer and more positive thoughts, and a healthier body overall.

Chiropractic care and network spinal works directly with the nervous system. It assists the body in moving from a sympathetic (fight-or-flight) state to a parasympathetic state (rest and digest).
