Heart Rate Variability

What many people don’t know though, is that the natural variation in someone’s heart rate is also important. Your heart shouldn’t beat at a constant steady rate all day, it should vary based on whether you are resting or exercising, whether you are happy or angry, nervous or relaxed.

Chiropractic adjustments do influence heart rate variability

What is a good heart rate variability?

Your brain is constantly detecting what is happening with your body and it responds to changes in your environment by increasing or decreasing your heart rate. These changes can be measured and are called your heart rate variability or HRV. A good HRV is one that is high and is thought to indicate a healthy heart and body.

Neuroscience Research

Research that has been published about chiropractic care and heart rate variability (HRV) suggests that chiropractic adjustments do influence HRV and very importantly, in the stressful fast-paced life we often live these days, chiropractic care appears to increase the heal and calm side of our nervous system.

So, if you are interested in good health, adaptability and want to better respond to stress and your environment, why don’t you consider chiropractic care?
