What Is Neurologically Based Chiropractic?
If you’ve never been to a chiropractor before, you may have a lot of questions, concerns, and maybe even assumptions about what we do. If you’ve never been adjusted before, you may not know what to expect, but we aim to clear that up for you in THIS blog! At Absolute Wellness Center Inc in Linn Creek, MO, we offer neurologically-based chiropractic. Not all chiropractic is the same, and while they all seem essentially the same, there is some variance depending on the doctor and the practice.
The Intent of care in our chiropractic office at the Lake of the Ozarks is to assist our clients on improving their neurological function and obtaining ideal neuroplasticity (the ability of the nervous system to adapt and respond to a stressor and maintain homeostasis/balance). So, without further ado, here are a few things you need to know about neurologically-based chiropractic, and how we can partner with you on your health journey.
This system consists of bones and joints. They do nothing on their own! So they are never the cause of dysfunction!

The Three Main Systems of the Body
#3 The Passive SystemThis system consists of bones and joints. They do nothing on their own! So they are never the cause of dysfunction!
#2 The Active System
This system consists of the muscles responsible for actions. They can't act on their own! So they are never the cause of dysfunction!
#1 The Nervous System
The control system … the central organizing authority. Nothing takes place in our bodies without the Nervous System initiating and approving the process. THE CAUSE OF DYSFUNCTION!
In our office, we understand that a Nervous System displaying Compromised Neural Integrity (CNI) is the cause of all dysfunction. We define CNI as Subluxation. To simplify...Compromised Neural Integrity (CNI)=Subluxation=Reduced Neuroplasticity= Loss of the ability to ideally adapt and respond. Layman’s terms? When your spine is out of alignment, it puts pressure on your spinal cord, which can then affect every other aspect of your health.
The exciting news is our office has the latest technology Neuroscience has to offer that allows us to look at the ability of the nervous system to adapt and respond. You will not find another office that offers this technology unless you want to take a trip to Kansas City or St. Louis. We are pleased to bring this technology to our community and can't wait to see the effects it has on changing lives and offering a greater quality of healthcare.
The nervous system is divided into two main divisions:
Para-Sympathetic: keeps everything running smoothly and in balance
Sympathetic: responsible for protection and defense and doesn't care about balance, it's the only purpose is to offer extreme responses to preserve life.
Stress is a threat and even low levels of stress over time can have drastic results in the health of an individual. What many don’t understand is that “STRESS” is a response to a “STRESSOR” and throughout a lifetime we will always be confronting stressors.
The challenge lies in several areas: the intensity of the stressor, the duration of the stressor, the level of previous damage done to the stress response system and the ability of the system to return to a normal balanced state.
As current medical research is now claiming that 95% of all Illnesses are the result of a lack of the body’s ability to reestablish normal balance, it only makes sense that we learn what must be done to bring the body back into correct neurological responses.
As it is critical for good health to have a nervous system which can adapt to stressors and recover correctly....it only makes sense that we have a method which can measure these action/reactions. It is much easier to keep the system in balance than to attempt to correct it once it has already been damaged.
At some point, everyone is going to find a subluxation in their spine - and it’s our goal to help you correct it, and find healing. Ready to get started? Give us a call at the number below to set up your first appointment! Our website has materials that show you what to expect at your first appointment. We look forward to partnering with you on your health!

What is a Stress Response?
All living creatures have an awareness of a threat to their existence. Humans have a built-in warning system that alerts them to all levels of threats. Our 5 senses alert us to danger even when we are totally unaware of it. Bad smells, unusual sounds, foul tastes are just some of these warning systems. The subconscious is even more sensitive and will often trigger a protection response of which we are unaware of consciously such as an increase in blood pressure, heart rate or respiration.The nervous system is divided into two main divisions:
Para-Sympathetic: keeps everything running smoothly and in balance

The Wrap Up
This can all seem a bit confusing at first, but, essentially, in our office, we look to see how your body is reacting to stressors. This can show us how severe your situation is, and then put together the best plan of action to help you back on to the road of health. When your nervous system is being blocked by your spine being out of alignment - your body is essentially in the fight or flight mode against itself! This makes outside stressors even harder to work through and can make your quality of life much less than it could be with different decisions.At some point, everyone is going to find a subluxation in their spine - and it’s our goal to help you correct it, and find healing.
