A primary focus with Chiropractic care is working on improving the function of your brain and nervous system, as your neurology controls and coordinates all that you experience (and all that you are unconscious of) in life.
Our nervous system has been called the ‘master controller’
If it can accurately process sensory information, receive it in a whole and timely manner, compare it to expected norms and filter it through past experience and beliefs then it can control your body in the most remarkable ways.
All of your cellular function, as well as thoughts, memory, mood, energy, healing, emotion and so much more are mediated by your brain. It receives in the order of 4 Trillion messages every second.
If this content is compromised, modified, interfered with it is effectively a loss of the ‘life-force’ which informs and coordinates everything that keeps you alive.
Chiropractic works to identify and normalise this level of dysfunction. We focus on the nervous system and the depth and complexity of the vital system. Chiropractic works to improve the ‘perception’ of body by brain, allowing better expression of life.

The term somatoneurophysiology, while seemingly a very complex word, comprises three elements and shows the inextricable link between unconscious feedback (sensation) from body wall/structures (such as joints and muscles) and the resulting impact on whole-of-body function. It borrows from the huge field of psycho-neruo-immunology which describes the power of mind and mental activity on the … Read more

Subluxation can increase stress hormone levels, contributing to chronic illness.

The most … Read more
This article provides a more technical description of the neurophysiological impact of subluxation – for those that want it! Subluxation is the ‘entity’ (state of dysfunction) which Chiropractors identify and correct The various neurological effects as proposed include subcortical (unconscious) reflex responses including Somato-Visceral, Visceral-Somatic, Somato-Somatic and Viscero-Visceral reflexes where aberrant motion leads to aberrant … Read more
Subluxation dysregulation is a state of that drives ‘mis-perception’ of your body and environment by your brain. Your cells and brain communicate via two main types of message – healthy ‘body awareness’ (good) signals or less healthy ‘stress’ (bad) signals. The body awareness signals are better thought of as being like a ‘nutrient’ your brain … Read more
