What is Tonal Chiropractic?
Part 2:
In part 1, we covered: what is tone? How does it influence health? What controls the tone of your biology?
Essentially, poor tone means poorer expression of health,
Our physical structure may show imbalances,
our body systems may experience dysfunction,
our mental/emotional state may be poor, etc.
What changes the tone of your biology?
When our nervous system experiences what we perceive as stress, this changes the tone of our biology depending on whether we integrate that experience or not.
For example, let's say you twisted your knee skiing. If with time and healing your body integrated that stress the next time you go skiing you will respond differently with learned movements, muscles and ligaments that will help prevent injury. A body that did not integrate this experience may hold tremendous fear even thinking about skiing and could even increase the likelihood of re-injuring themselves.
The body that has not integrated the experience holds tonal/tensional patterns keeping that person in the frequency of the experience. Our nervous system does not know the difference between the past, present or future and will run patterns of stress until they are integrated - kind of like an agitating noise in the background of your life continuing to influence your mind, body, and soul. This stress could be physical like the example, or it could be mental, emotional or chemical and as long as it remains unintegrated, it’s changing the tone of your body, the response of your nervous system and your overall expression of health. Unintegrated stress can show up in many ways, like overwhelm, anxiety, depression, aches/pains, PTSD, irritability, poor posture, and other symptoms.
What is a tonal adjustment?
Gentle specific contacts into the areas where tone is not optimal, and patterns of tension are stored, stimulate the nervous system to reprocess and reintegrate that stress so that our system grows and moves beyond it.
As the body begins to rebalance tone and create homeostasis via the nervous system our body is able to better communicate. With proper communication our bodies are able to do what they are designed to do, which is heal, repair, regenerate and continuously evolve and express optimal health and lives.
When greater levels of homeostasis AKA balance are restored, symptoms often disappear as a side effect of a better tone in your biology.
Our sessions are called Neural Integration sessions, which is just a fancy word describing that process above.
Simply stated, an optimal life starts with optimal health, and it begins within!
Who does it help?
Many ages and stages of life can benefit from tonal chiropractic care. First of all, the sessions use gentle and energetic light touches that produce noticeable changes in tone in your biology, and are very friendly to most bodies.
We all experience stressors, from children all the way to grown adults. For example kids may experience birth trauma, falls, stress from school. Young adults may have a lot of personal and professional stressors to manage. Older adults have more life experience, and have most likely experienced more transitions, loss, sickness, etc along their life's journey. Anyone can be subject to stressors in their life, if they're showing symptoms or signs of imbalance they may benefit from an assessment of their tone and support processing the stress they've experienced.
