Yes
It is possible because the better your body functions, the less energy gets wasted. Misalignment leads to improper functioning of the spine.
yes.
These kinds of forces include things such as falls, car accidents, repetitive injuries or any other type of physical trauma that can cause a misalignment. Chemical forces – Chemicals impact your muscle tone, and the alignment of your spine is dependent upon your muscles to help support it.
Fatigue has a lot of potential's for what the cause can be. The first thing I would question is your diet and caffeine intake. The dermatomes from your thoracic spine that follow the adrenal glands may improve function allowing for more energy. Fatigue is a hard thing to pinpoint because there are a lot of factors.
Yes it can be a cause.
It is possible that a spinal misalignment can contribute to fatigue. More than likely it is a hormonal/ adrenal insufficiency issue. Many patients do experience higher amounts of energy while maintaining correct spinal alignment and curvature.
Yes, but there may be other underlying reasons for your fatigue that may need to be addressed. If you are suffering from fatigue, you should have it evaluated by a health care professional that will take an extensive history and to a thorough examination to find and address the underlying cause.
yes
Absolutely. Misalignments interrupt the flow of communication between the brain and body. Anything that does that can cause strain and fatigue on the body/brain.
If there are spinal subluxations affecting nerves, then it can cause fatigue.
Any neuromuscular skeletal condition can be the cause of fatigue. Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) are licensed doctors who does diagnosis and either performs and/or recommends treatment. That includes all areas of the neuromuscular system. The question is what is causing the problem with the area and that requires diagnosis. Diagnosis can't be done without an examination. If the cause is appropriate and responsive to conservative care then Chiropractic care with it's many therapeutic treatments is important and appropriate. Even if the problem has a permanent and/or structural component the treatments may still help, but may not totally eliminate the underlying cause. Don't wait to have the examination, as the sooner the problems is detected and treated the better.
Yes, when the spine is out of alignment the signals being sent to and from the brain and body, through the nerves, are inhibited.
Yes, because it can affect your glands and organs.
