Neck alignment is just ONE of the things that can cause your neck to hurt! Subluxations in your neck, can impede and effect the nerves and discs in your neck, creating all manner of dysfunction. Did you know that the nerves in your neck effect these things: Vagus Nerve (HUGE player in your Fight/Flight and Rest/Digest balance), the nerves to the back of your head, down your neck and down both arms. Your posture is critical, muscle tension/tightness, old whiplash injuries that were never rehabbed properly, your sleep position, and your lymphatic system are all BIG players in your neck function.
How your lymphatics effect your NECK are what I want to focus-in on today, because most people don’t understand how to care for their lymphatics because no one teaches us this critical part of our anatomy! This video from Dr. Perry Nickelston is a fellow Chiropractor who focuses in much of his work on lymphatics, so I want to share with you something that has helped me so much that it’s part of my morning routine. Search on YouTube: “Largest lymph node in the neck” on the channel Stop Chasing Pain or click the link below. He gives an in-depth explanation of the anatomy and how to start helping these lymph nodes to drain all the inflammation & waste properly.
