The nervous system and immune system are deeply connected. When the nervous system is in a constant state of stress, it triggers inflammation throughout the body—leading to a range of symptoms, from brain fog to autoimmune flares.
How Chronic Stress Fuels Inflammation
- When the nervous system is in fight-or-flight mode, the body releases cortisol and inflammatory cytokines.
- Over time, this suppresses immune function, making the body more vulnerable to infections, allergies, and chronic illness.
- Nervous system dysregulation also disrupts gut health, leading to leaky gut, which further increases inflammation.
Signs That Nervous System Stress is Driving Inflammation:
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Chronic pain and joint stiffness
- Digestive issues (bloating, IBS, leaky gut)
- Autoimmune flare-ups
- Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
How to Calm the Nervous System & Reduce Inflammation
Vagus Nerve Stimulation – Gentle stimulation (like using Rezzimax or BrainTap) helps shift the body into parasympathetic mode.
PEMF & Red Light Therapy – These therapies promote cellular repair and reduce inflammation.
Primitive Reflex Integration – Retained primitive reflexes keep the body stuck in stress mode, making inflammation worse. Addressing them can balance the nervous system.
Nutrient Support – Blood sugar regulation and anti-inflammatory foods play a key role in calming the immune response.
Healing inflammation starts with the nervous system. If you’ve been struggling with chronic symptoms, supporting your nervous system may be the missing piece to your healing journey. At our office, we take a comprehensive, brain-based approach to reducing inflammation by addressing nervous system dysregulation. Through chiropractic care, PEMF therapy, red light therapy, vagus nerve stimulation, functional medicine testing, and primitive reflex integration, we help patients calm their nervous system, balance immune responses, and promote true healing. If inflammation is holding you back, we’re here to help you reset and restore your health.
