Subluxations that develop your spine as a result of built up stress and excessive pressure, directly contribute to and influence weight gain.
The nerves that run throughout your spinal column act as information highways that connect your brain to the rest of your body.
When various misalignments develop over time, these communication pathways become hindered and the signals that control hunger and eating habits become erratic.
People who have subluxations also tend to suffer from chronic pain and/or decreased mobility, making it even more difficult to remain physically active.
Chiropractic Adjustments are able to resolve these concerns and provide an easier path toward losing weight.
