Nervous, Endocrine and Immune System Connection - Chiropractor Billings

Did you know that there is an intricate interconnection between the nervous system, the endocrine system (the one that controls hormones) and the immune system? It’s called the NEI Supersystem. Imbalances in any one of these systems will directly affect the others, and optimal health is only possible when these systems are in balance. Imbalances can occur as a result of physical or psychological stress. Some examples of physical stress include poor diet, toxins such as tobacco, and microbial challenges, such as pesticide influences. Psychological stress can be mental or emotional tension. All three of these systems are affected irrespective of the specific offender because the primary system targeted will activate the others. If this activation persists, imbalances occur, resulting in symptoms such as depression, concentration issues and fatigue. If you’re experiencing low mood, headache, or just plain lack of energy, talk to your health care provider. There may be more to it than you thought! Have a comment? Join the conversation.
