The Senses and Chiropractic

Chiropractic helps the brain connect to the body, and with that it can help with sensory perception. Of all the senses, touch gets the biggest boost from chiropractic care. Spinal nerves exit between vertebra, like the brachial plexus, and can have a reduced amount information supply when pinched. This causes hyper and hypesthesia, or increased and decreased feeling sensation. Chiropractic care reduces pressure on nerves and allows for full feeling in respective dermatomes. In terms of other senses, chiropractic can help reduce ocular pressure in some cases, as well as increase general brain-body connection.
