Fatigue
There are a number of
contributing factors to excessive tiredness. Not
receiving the proper rest needed is the most easily understood
reason for tiredness. Another reason is the stress involved with
thoughts of fear, worry, anger, or jealousy. Thinking these
stressful thoughts robs us of our needed energy. There are other
factors that can contribute to fatigue and, in the majority of
cases, there is usually more than one factor involved.
Often when a person suffering from
chronic fatigue seeks medical help, there is no physiological
disease that can be pinpointed. Chiropractic believes that one
of the major contributing factors to chronic fatigue is the
nervous system. Without proper nerve energy, we cannot
stay alert, vigorous and healthy. When something interferes with
the flow of nerve energy, we can easily feel tired and
rundown. While an organ that is
receiving limited nerve energy may still be functioning, it is
not functioning at its maximum.
The spinal cord, which is made
up of all the nerves leading to the organs and tissues of the
body, is protected by the spinal column. If one of the bones
that make up the spinal column slips out of proper alignment, a
nerve can be pinched or squeezed and the function of an organ or
gland will be decreased.
Chiropractors can locate such
misalignments and, through gentle manipulation, restore the
spinal column back to its normal alignment. |
