Chiropractic Care and Intuitive Wellness: Aligning Body and Energy
How many times have you left your chiropractor's office feeling amazing, only to have the same issue return within days? You're not imagining it—and it's not because your chiropractor isn't skilled. There's usually an energetic or emotional pattern recreating the physical misalignment they just fixed.
Why Adjustments Don't Always Hold
Your chiropractor is removing physical blockages in your spine and nervous system. When your spine is misaligned, it creates interference in how your nervous system communicates with the rest of your body. The adjustment clears that interference, allowing energy and information to flow properly again.
But here's what happens next: if there's an emotional pattern or energetic block that caused that misalignment in the first place, your body will recreate it. Your nervous system will pull those vertebrae right back out of alignment because the underlying cause hasn't been addressed.
This is why some people need adjustments constantly while others hold their adjustments for weeks. The difference often isn't structural—it's whether the emotional and energetic components are being addressed.
Understanding Your Nervous System as an Energy Highway
Your spine houses your spinal cord, which is the main pathway for your nervous system. Think of it as the primary highway for both physical nerve signals and energetic information moving through your body.
When you experience chronic stress, emotional trauma, or energetic blocks, your nervous system responds by creating physical tension. That tension pulls on your spine, creating misalignments. Your chiropractor can adjust those misalignments, but if the stress pattern or emotional block is still there, the tension returns and pulls everything out of alignment again.
How Energy Work Addresses the Root Cause
In Intuitive Wellness Sessions, we're working with the energetic and emotional patterns that are creating physical tension in your body.
Common patterns I see with chiropractic clients:
Lower back keeps going out
Often related to root chakra blocks—feeling unsupported, financial stress, or not feeling safe. We work to release these patterns so your lower back isn't constantly bracing.
Upper back and shoulder tension that won't release
Usually connected to heart chakra blocks—holding onto grief, protecting your heart, or carrying responsibilities that aren't yours. Releasing this allows your upper back to relax and hold adjustments better.
Neck misalignments that return immediately
Frequently tied to throat chakra blocks—not speaking your truth, swallowing your words, or holding back what you really want to say. When we clear this energetically, the neck stays aligned longer.
Recurring hip misalignment
Often related to sacral chakra imbalances—issues with creativity, sexuality, or emotional flexibility. Addressing these patterns helps your hips stabilize.
What This Partnership Looks Like
When you combine chiropractic care with Intuitive Wellness Sessions, you're addressing your alignment from both directions.
Your chiropractor physically adjusts your spine, removing the structural interference in your nervous system. In our sessions, we identify and release the emotional and energetic patterns that were creating that interference in the first place.
The result? Adjustments hold longer. Pain decreases faster. Your nervous system can actually relax instead of constantly bracing for the next stressor.
A Real Example:
I worked with a client who was seeing her chiropractor twice a week for months because of recurring lower back pain. Her chiropractor would adjust her, she'd feel better for a day or two, then the pain would return.
When we started working together, we discovered massive root chakra blocks around financial stress and not feeling supported in her life. She was literally carrying this stress in her lower back.
We worked on releasing those patterns energetically while she continued her chiropractic care. Within a few weeks, her adjustments started holding longer. Within two months, she was down to monthly maintenance adjustments instead of twice weekly emergency visits.
Her structure didn't magically change. The underlying cause of the misalignment was finally being addressed.
When to Consider Adding Energy Work
Energy work is especially valuable if:
You need frequent adjustments because issues keep returning
You have chronic pain that chiropractic care helps but doesn't fully resolve
Your chiropractor mentions you're "really tight" or "holding a lot of tension"
You know there's an emotional or stress component to your physical issues
You want to maximize the benefits of your chiropractic care
How to Time Your Sessions
I typically recommend scheduling Intuitive Wellness Sessions in between chiropractic adjustments. This creates a rhythm where:
Your chiropractor clears the physical blockage
We address the energetic/emotional pattern that created it
Your next adjustment builds on a clearer foundation instead of fighting the same battle
Many clients do weekly chiropractic and biweekly energy work, though the exact timing depends on your specific needs.
Talking to Your Chiropractor
Most chiropractors understand the mind-body connection and appreciate when clients are addressing stress and emotional patterns. You can say something like:
"I'm also working with an energy practitioner to address some of the stress and emotional patterns that I think are contributing to my tension. Just wanted you to know I'm taking a comprehensive approach."
Many chiropractors will ask questions because they're curious—they've seen too many clients whose issues are clearly stress-related but outside the scope of chiropractic care.
What Energy Work Addresses That Chiropractic Can't
Your chiropractor is trained in physical structure and nervous system function. They're not trained to work with:
Chakra blockages and energy flow
Stored emotional trauma in your tissues
Generational patterns affecting your body
The energetic dimension of nervous system regulation
That's where I come in. We're working on the same team, just addressing different dimensions of your health.
Your Nervous System Needs Both
Think of it this way: your chiropractor is clearing the traffic jam on the highway. I'm addressing why the traffic keeps accumulating in that spot. Both are necessary for long-term flow.
When your spine is aligned and your energy is flowing without emotional blocks recreating physical tension, your nervous system can finally relax. That's when real healing happens—not just temporary relief.
