The Competitive Edge- Longevity Health Plan With Chiropractic in Austin, TX

Not all chiropractors take this approach when it comes to health. A nervous system approach means we don’t chase all the sticks in the stream to manage recurring blockages, but rather search upstream for the deeper cause. We do this by measuring the function of the nervous system through our INSiGHT scans. If you can measure it, you can manage it. This is some of the most valuable data to have when it comes to health. It literally is telling us how the most important system in our body is functioning. Measuring the function of the nervous system allows us to come up with a unique plan for people when it comes to health optimization. Below are a few of the top reasons people see us for health optimization.

Improved performance

Performance comes in many forms but uses the same formula in our body. Whether we are talking about athletic performance or job performance, the more we can access in our body, the higher we can perform. Performance is a combination of our energy reserves, our energy efficiency, and how well our brain and our body are communicating. We measure these exact three functions with our nervous system scans. It is amazing what we find “hiding out” like socks under a bed or clothes in a closet, even when the room appears clean at first glance (due to compensation patterns).

From autoimmune to thriving

This was me (Dr. Matt) and now I get to help so many others with this. Many of your favorite doctors who have written books and gone on to be the best in their fields also had a similar story. Dr. Peter Attia (metabolic syndrome) and Dr. Amy Myers (graves disease), are just a couple notable ones. Stress in its many forms from the foods we eat, our movement habits, to emotional stress, tend to be the driving force behind these conditions.

Nervous system focused chiropractic care restores our body chemistry and affects the brain, altering this stress response/fight or flight we often find people stuck in. Then lifestyle habits are important to reinforce the work. This is why education and teaching will always be part of our process. No amount of chiropractic care is extremely effective without the right lifestyle habits alongside it.

To amplify their current health practices

It never gets old when someone says they’ve been to many other chiropractors, tried all the health things, and seen some of the best of the best in the world, then they react after an adjustment like they just saw a UFO flying in the sky. People get excited when they experience the real power of the nervous system. Many traditional style adjustments from chiropractors work by affecting a spinal cord reflex (monosynaptic and disynaptic reflexes) that change the way we feel for a few hours to a few days. Our focus at Lifespring is something deeper. It’s to find what’s called the “primary subluxation.”

Less is more

This takes a less is more approach, only making three adjustments max to the spine. More than three adjustments to the spine in one visit can create “too much noise” or stimulation in the brain for the body to process. Think about it. The right pace for anything is important. Overdoing it in a workout, overdoing it in a diet plan, or overdoing it in the sauna or ice bath would do more harm than good. Same with a chiropractic adjustment.

When we find the primary subluxation, we affect the nervous system in a profound way, as we’ve seen through our cases when people jump up off the table and ask “what was that?” We affect an area of the brain (through a third order neuron) called the thalamus. This is like the router that touches 98% of all information in the body! Everything except for smell.
