The relationship between temperature fatigue and the autonomic nervous system - Treating the "vague discomfort" that increases in autumn with chiropractic treatment
The fall temperature difference can cause poor health, which may be due to a disruption of the autonomic nervous system. Chiropractic treatment will restore balance to the body and breathing, and address fatigue, insomnia, and stiff shoulders.
During this time of year, the temperature difference between morning and evening becomes large.
"My body feels heavy," "I don't feel refreshed even after sleeping," "My shoulders are really stiff."
Do you ever feel that "something just isn't right"?
This is a condition called temperature difference fatigue .
It is common during seasonal changes and is closely related to disruptions in the autonomic nervous system.
◆What is temperature difference fatigue?
Temperature difference fatigue is a condition in which the body cannot keep up with changes in temperature, resulting in the accumulation of fatigue .
The human body works to maintain a constant body temperature, primarily through the autonomic nervous system.
However, when the temperature difference between morning and night is 7°C or more,
The autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems) switches frequently, putting you in a constant state of tension.
It's as if you're "at the mercy of the temperature."
◆ Disorders that occur when the autonomic nervous system is disturbed
When the autonomic nervous system is disrupted by temperature differences, the following ailments are more likely to occur:
-
I feel tired and can't get up in the morning
-
Worsening headaches, stiff shoulders, and stiff neck
-
Increased dizziness and lightheadedness
-
Cold hands and feet and hot flashes
-
Sleep becomes shallow at night
-
Feeling depressed easily
These are things that you may feel are "somehow unwell",
Your body is definitely sending out an SOS.
◆Why is it more common in autumn?
In autumn, there is a large difference in temperature between day and night, and typhoons and changes in atmospheric pressure are also an added factor.
During this time, your body will repeatedly feel "cold" and "hot."
This is the season when the autonomic nervous system is in full operation.
Also, the seasons change while you are still feeling tired from summer,
Your body's ability to recover is also reduced, making you more susceptible to stress caused by temperature changes.
◆ Chiropractic care for fatigue caused by temperature changes
In chiropractic, we adjust the balance of muscles, skeleton, and breathing related to the autonomic nervous system.
It puts the body into "rest mode (parasympathetic nervous system)".
① Release tension in the neck, shoulders, and back
When you feel cold, your body naturally becomes "shrunken."
When the muscles in your neck and shoulders become stiff, blood flow becomes poor and puts strain on your brain and autonomic nervous system.
In the treatment, we carefully loosen the shoulder blades and cervical vertebrae,
Adjust your posture to allow for deep breathing.
② Adjusting the pelvis and spine improves the "pathway of the autonomic nervous system"
The autonomic nervous system runs along the spine.
If the pelvis or spine is misaligned, nerve transmission is easily disrupted, disrupting the body's rhythm.
By adjusting your posture with chiropractic treatment, your nerves will function more smoothly.
It naturally enhances the body's ability to recover.
3. Chiropractic approach to regulate breathing
Shallow breathing due to stress or tension further worsens autonomic nervous system disorders.
In chiropractic, we open the rib cage to restore the movement of the diaphragm,
By smoothing the rhythm of inhaling and exhaling, you can activate the parasympathetic nervous system.
◆ Self-care you can do at home
To maintain the results after treatment, we also recommend the following care:
-
Morning: Expose yourself to sunlight to reset your body clock
-
Daytime: Take one minute of deep breaths (to calm sympathetic nervous system overactivity)
-
Evening: Take a relaxing bath and warm your body from the inside out
In addition, avoid cold drinks
By keeping your neck, stomach, and ankles warm, you will be less susceptible to the effects of temperature changes.
