Addictions

     Addiction is a problem that affects us all, not just the one with the problem but everyone around them.  You may be wondering what chiropractic has to do with addictions and the answer is just about everything.

     As with any other condition if the nervous system is involved then correcting the subluxations that interfere with that nervous system can only help to make it better. 

     Addictions including not just drugs but also gambling, sex, food and any other compulsive behavior has a great deal to do with the nervous system.  There are two ways the nervous system is involved.  First, there is a series of chemical reactions in the brain called the Brain Reward Cascade that is over active with addictions.  Balancing the amino acids that fuel this chain reaction can help most overcome their addictions.

     Second, addictions carry with them a considerable amount of physical and emotional stress.  Adjustments have proven to be effective in reducing this stress.  It has also been proven that people in recovery do much better if they are getting adjusted.
