That’s right we finally have a study and science to support just how important having a balanced autonomic nervous system has on the possible severity of COVID-19 symptoms. I have posted the link below for the study for those that would like to dive deeper into the science but I will highlight the key points below.
1. The article reiterated the groups of individuals that experience more severe COVID-19 cases including those with cardiovascular, respiratory, or metabolic disorders, as well as patients with cancer. The common factor being that all of these conditions have an imbalance of the autonomic nervous system (ANS.)
2. The article concluded that the sympatho-vagal balance and vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) should be taken into consideration when evaluating diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to severe courses of COVID-19. This can be achieved diagnostically by measuring heart rate variability (HRV)…the technology we have in our office!
What should and can you do to respond to this amazing information?
1. When is the last time you were scanned especially with the HRV technology in our office? If it’s been awhile, text or call in to get your nerve scans performed.
2. Increase the frequency of your chiropractic adjustments, I know I have. Throughout this COVID experience, we have had many of you decrease or stop your adjustments due to preventing potential exposure. This study just confirms that is worst thing you could do to help your chances WHEN coming into contact with the COVID virus.
3. Get your entire family checked and under chiropractic care to keep them healthy!
