In Part 1, I showed you what an adjustment actually does at the spinal cord; a burst of sensory input that briefly turns down protective muscle guarding.
Here's what happens next:
That signal doesn't stop at your back. Your spinal joints, especially in your neck, are loaded with position sensors. That information travels up to your cerebellum and cortex, where your brain is constantly answering one question: where is my body in space?
It builds that answer from three inputs: 👁 Your eyes 👂 Your inner ear 🦴 Position sense from your joints and neck
When one of those three sends bad information, the other two don't fully compensate. That's a big part of why someone can get dizzy after a neck injury with a completely normal scan. Nothing is broken. The signal is just wrong.
🎯 Try it: eyes closed, turn your head comfortably to one side, then return to where you think straight ahead is. Open your eyes and check. Consistently off to one side? Your neck's position sense is worth a look.
This is exactly why we don't adjust and send you home, we adjust, then retrain, so your brain gets better information going forward.
