5 Simple Ways to Support Your Nervous System (When You Can’t Get Adjusted) 🧠✨
There are moments when your nervous system feels off - maybe you’re traveling, it’s the weekend, or life just isn’t letting you get into the office. And while nothing replaces the impact of a tailored chiropractic adjustment, there are ways to give your system a little extra support in the meantime.
Here are 5 quick ways to help your body shift out of stress mode and back into a more balanced state:
Take slow, deep belly breaths - Try inhaling for 4 seconds, exhaling for 6. This helps signal safety to your brain and encourages a parasympathetic response.
Get your bare feet on the ground - Grounding (aka earthing) helps regulate cortisol levels and brings calm to an overstimulated system.
Cold water on your face or neck - A quick splash or cold compress can activate the vagus nerve and support a shift out of fight-or-flight.
Gentle movement - A walk, light stretching, or simply getting out into nature helps discharge built-up stress.
Humming or singing - Vibrations from your voice stimulate the vagus nerve and help bring the body back into a regulated rhythm.
These tools don’t “fix” the root cause - but they can offer a moment of calm when your body’s asking for a reset. 🤍
And when you're ready for a deeper shift, we’re here with the table waiting.
