Send us Fan Mail
In this podcast Dr. Rodney and Karen address some novel ways to change the pain pattern associated with joint pain and other age-related symptoms. You will love the hope and encouragement you receive as you take your stance for health and vitality.
The Vagus nerve is part of the parasympathetic system. When it is working well, it lessens with acute nociceptive pain (caused by injury, physical pressure or inflammation) and results in the following:
- Increased heart rate
- Elevated blood pressure
- Higher respiratory rate
- Slower digestion
Inflammation can begin to appear throughout the body when the control of acetylcholine and cortisol are dysregulated by this nerve.
When you have an altered microbiome the Vagus nerve sends a signal to the gut to regulate production & absorption of nutrients. You need great diversity gut microbiota.
Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic low back pain, Crohn’s disease, hypertension and diabetes all share in having a “disrupted autonomic nervous system.” The following three things will improve the autonomic nervous system and improve your vagal tone which helps change the pain patterns:
1. Vagal nerve stimulation
- Singing
- Humming
- Gargling
- Laughter
- Pressing down on tongue with depressor
- Chewing food thoroughly
- Positive self-talk
- Stretches
- Prayer/meditation
- Light abdominal massage/percussor
- Vibration plate
- Chiropractic adjustments for the cervical area
2. Mindfulness activities
Assist in managing chronic pain
Lower pain perception
Reduce stress
Minimize cortisol secretion which rebalances autonomics
3. Exercise
Exercise and movement have an analgesic effect on chronic pain and help in the autonomic functions because they:
- Modify inflammation
- Improve neuro-immune response to stress
- Reduce stress, anxiety and fear avoidance
