What is the Neuro-musculoskeletal System?

The neuro-musculoskeletal system is the intersection of the bones, joints, muscles, and nerves of the body. These parts of the body work together to facilitate movement, allow interaction with the outside world, control pain, and regulate other body functions.

Whenever the balance of the bones, joints, muscles, and nerves is disrupted, there can be pain and other interruptions to the normal functioning of the body. Cognition can be impacted, leading to foggy thinking and a lack of energy. Pain can increase in the body, often in the back, neck, and shoulders. Digestion can suffer, creating acid reflux, GERD, constipation, and other digestive distress. Additionally, imbalance in the neuro-musculoskeletal system can strain other systems and processes in the body, such as immunity.

How Chiropractic
Care Transforms Lives.

Chiropractic care allows the body to heal itself by restoring balance to the body’s main systems of operation.

Chiropractors provide manual therapy that includes hands-on treatment, manual therapy, spinal manipulation, traction, and manipulation of soft tissues. This treatment is completely non-surgical and non-invasive, but can still produce a direct regulating effect on the nerves, muscles, and bones of the body. As the neuro-musculoskeletal system self-regulates, this can balance the other systems and processes in the body, helping to restore youth, vitality, and well-being.

At Healing Point Chiropractic and Acupuncture – Fayetteville Chiropractor, we begin our process by assessing the conditions and symptoms that you’re experiencing to determine where the imbalance might be. Whether it’s postural, pain-related, digestive, or connected to headaches and migraines, we look for the root cause to begin crafting your individualized treatment plan. As necessary, x-rays and digital imaging may be used to increase the thoroughness and accuracy of your assessment.
