Today I’m talking about the fascinating connection between chiropractic care and the vagus nerve. I share insights from the recent CNAC conference in Toronto, emphasizing chiropractors' role as guides to vagus nerve wellness. We explore how the polyvagal theory can revolutionize nervous system regulation and enhance patient care strategies. You’ll hear about the significance of movement, breath, and connection in maintaining a regulated state, which is crucial for improved social interactions and overall well-being, especially post-COVID.

In this episode:

  • How the polyvagal theory can enhance chiropractic care and patient understanding.
  • Why chiropractors should integrate nervous system regulation insights into their practice.
  • How aligning with public interest in the vagus nerve can improve patient education.
  • Why the vagus nerve is crucial in addressing migraines, epilepsy, and depression.
  • How achieving a ventral vagal state supports social engagement and well-being.
  • Why understanding the vagus nerve's complexity is essential for healthcare professionals.
  • How chiropractic care can help individuals better perceive their physiological states.
  • Why the vagus nerve is likened to a volume control rather than a simple switch.
  • How chiropractic care can harness the public's rising interest in nervous system regulation.
  • Why chiropractors should adapt communication strategies to current public interests.
  • How the movement of the spine and rib cage contributes to a regulated state.
  • Why chiropractors have a responsibility to positively influence community well-being.
