Autoimmunity
The job of our nervous system extends beyond the ability of “fight or flight.” .
Our autonomic nervous system is directly linked to our enteric nervous system. This is to say that our brain and gut are directly linked. Our immune system is designed to keep our body’s free from invaders, especially from our gut to keep our brain safe and vice versa. For reasons oftentimes unknown, our body begins to attack itself and create an autoimmunity reaction. This reaction can have roots in the autonomic nervous system, immune system, endocrine system, or the enteric system leading to disruption in 1 or multiple of these systems. Our chiropractic neurologists perform a functional neurological evaluation and conduct specific lab and blood work to better understand the relationship of all systems when dealing with autoimmunity.
