Within chiropractic, the focus is on correcting any misalignments present in the spine. You may at first think there is no correlation to weight loss. There is more and more research, however, that supports the connection between spinal misalignment and issues related to gaining weight.
Your spinal column is a superhighway that transports sensory data to your brain. If it’s misaligned, communication can’t happen as it should. The signals can become crossed, which may mean you can’t interpret cues of satiation or hunger. These cues are key in gaining or losing weight. Addressing a misalignment, then, can allow your body to recognize when to eat and how much to eat. Knowing these cues will enable you to be at a healthier body weight.
