Trauma Patterns & How Network Spinal And Chiropractic Care Helps in Orlando FL

"Trauma compromises our ability to engage with others by replacing patterns of connection with patterns of protection."
- Stephen Porges

Trauma, whether physical, emotional or both, alters the body's ability to heal and thrive. At our Orlando Fl chiropractic clinic, we know it will decrease the function of systems like digestion and immune, but it also changes how we interact with the world around us… how we interact with our families, spouses, kids, friends, and co-workers…

We are unable to FULLY connect if we are in a state of protection

What Is A "State Of Protection?" In Orlando FL

Everyday stressors (physical, mental, and chemical) can lead the body to be in a sympathetic, fight-or-flight, (protective) dominant state. Here are some examples of each:

• Thoughts: Negative self-talk, emotional trauma, anxiety from a stressful job/relationship, etc.
• Traumas: Birth trauma, a slip, and fall, physical changes that occur during pregnancy, etc.
• Toxins: Moving into a home with mold, cleaning with toxic chemicals, consuming foods high in pesticides, etc.

What Happens To The Body In A Fight-Or-Flight State?

This high-stress state can lead to so many negative health effects, such as a decreased mental state. In order to have an optimal connection with the world around us and proper responses like restorative sleep, optimal digestion, and increased immune system function, the body has to be in a parasympathetic (rest and digest) dominant state.

Chiropractic care and network spinal work 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).

Parasympathetic State = Connection
