Brain Fog

Brain Fog and Chiropractic Care

Brain fog is a symptom, not a medical illness, that can cause memory issues, difficulty focusing, lack of mental clarity, and poor attention. It is also known as “mental tiredness,” Depending on the severity of the condition, it might interfere with your job or schooling.  

There are ways to get rid of brain fog without therapy. However, it may not always go away on its own, and without correct brain fog treatment, it can negatively influence your quality of life.

What Causes Brain Fog?

Brain fog can arise for a variety of reasons. Understanding the causes can help you assess whether a natural brain fog therapy would be effective. Why is natural brain fog treatment beneficial? Medication can be one of the reasons for brain fog. You need to call your doctor if this occurs. This is very common, and a chiropractic adjustment cannot help with this.

The following are some of the most common causes of brain fog:

Drugs – Brain fog can sometimes be a side effect of a medication you’re taking.

Changes in blood glucose levels or medical disorders associated with inflammation or exhaustion can produce brain fog.

Sleep deprivation – Not getting enough sleep can be harmful and cause changes in how your brain functions.

Stress can produce a rise in blood pressure as well as brain fog.

Hormonal Changes – Hormonal changes associated with pregnancy and menopause might result in brain fog. A decline in estrogen during menopause can cause foggy thinking, forgetfulness, and an inability to concentrate.

Diet – Vitamin B-12 promotes good brain function, and a vitamin B-12 shortage increases the likelihood of brain fog. Additionally, certain foods, such as aspartame, dairy, and peanuts, might cause brain fog. Eliminating trigger items from your diet may aid in symptom relief.

Aside from the aforementioned causes of brain fog, there is one that is sometimes disregarded. Fatigue, hormonal shifts, and medical issues are frequently caused by something completely unrelated: an upper cervical misalignment.

How does an Upper Cervical Misalignment Cause Brain Fog

There is a possibility that none of the aforementioned are causing your brain fog. In fact, your medical problem or feeling exhausted could be due to an upper cervical misalignment. This occurs when one of the top vertebrae in the neck becomes misaligned.

Misalignments can be caused by an accident, the normal aging process, or even stress from things like lifting heavy objects or bad posture over time.

When your upper cervical vertebrae are out of position, they might put pressure on your brain stem. The brain stem facilitates proper brain-to-body communication; if this is disrupted, the body may suffer as proper signals are no longer successfully conveyed between the brain and body.

The body’s natural healing and repairing capacities are jeopardized without adequate signals. A variety of health issues may develop as the body continues to malfunction.

This pressure on the brain stem affects how the brain and body connect and your overall brain health. Pressure can sometimes cause less oxygen to reach the brain. It can also cause inflammation of the surrounding nerves, resulting in depression, vertigo, headaches, migraines, and/or confused thinking.

What Is the Effect of an Upper Cervical Adjustment on Brain Fog?

An upper cervical chiropractor makes upper cervical adjustments. Unlike other chiropractors, n upper cervical chiropractor focuses on the neck or the upper cervical spine area. 

They aim to alter the patient as little as possible and only as necessary to ensure optimal upper cervical alignment. Proper upper cervical alignment aids in the maintenance of a healthy brain stem and a body that can continue to perform its inherent duties properly.

An upper cervical adjustment can be incredibly effective for all-natural brain fog treatment. This natural brain fog treatment can help with the symptoms of brain fog and the underlying reason.

Patients following a healthy diet and exercise regimen can have brain fog due to unexplained causes. On the other hand, a visit with an upper cervical professional can provide light on whether an upper cervical misalignment causes pressure.

Upper Cervical Chiropractor and Brain Fog

As a part of your upper cervical brain fog treatment, we will perform minor, gentle adjustments to the neck area. You may have seen or experienced other chiropractic treatments that are more bone-cracking. However, this adjustment is gentle and safe for people of all ages.

When a correction is made, the pressure in the brain stem is relieved, and proper brain-to-body communication is restored. This allows the healing and repair process to begin almost immediately.

More adjustments may be required for your brain fog treatment. This will depend on the severity of your misalignment. This will depend on the ability of your body to repair and heal itself sufficiently to keep the correct alignment without assistance. Patients who had previously used medicine or had surgery claimed improvement in as little as one adjustment.

The explanation for this is straightforward: An upper cervical adjustment improves your brain stem health. This allows for natural healing to occur.
