Alignment of the Cervical Spine: A large piece to the puzzle of being pain and symptom Free!

Overall spinal alignment is extremely important because it allows the muscles to stay in balance and pressure to stay off the nerves. The neck, and especially upper cervical spine can be said to be the most important because of the increased amount of nervous system activity.

Being so close to the brain, which is basically our main “switchboard”, there are more nervous system impulses going on every second. Essentially more messages to your body; more communication is happening. This is why keeping this upper neck in check is vital.

This brings me to the following point: a neck pillow like the cervical traction pillow may help with neck pain, but should be used regularly to improve and maintain your health. Pain is a warning sign that something is irritated or “broken down”,

fixing problems as fast as possible will prevent other problems or symptoms from arising.

Vibration Massage: Relaxes the Muscles but Stimulates the Nervous System too!

Stimulating the nervous system is extremely important in balancing the body and restoring function. It’s the imbalances in the body that lead to pain or some other symptom.

The reason muscles get tight or bind up into knots is imbalance. If there is pressure on the nerves and the muscles controlled by those nerves are not getting 100% of the messages they’re supposed to, things don’t work right. One muscle stays constantly tensed and shortened while the others are loose and move like they should. The constant tightness leads to inflammation and waste products building up, then there is more and more nerve pressure.

We have founds that a great type of massage is with a tool called the Jeanie Rub Massager. Not only does it massage tight muscles, but the vibratory massage stimulates the nerves. Doing this helps balance the nervous system. Research has shown that many health conditions are caused by one part of the brain or nervous system that is under-firing or over-firing. Restoring balance and correcting this can significantly improve symptoms such as neck pain. Other common similar conditions are headaches, numbness and tingling in the arms and hands, or carpal tunnel-like symptoms.
