The Overlooked Role of the Spine in Your Health: How Acupuncture and Chiropractic Work Together

When we think about spinal health, most of us focus on posture and movement. However, the spine is far more than just a structural support for the body—it plays a vital role in both the nervous system and energy flow. Not only does it house and protect the spinal cord, which controls nearly every function in the body, but it is also rich in acupuncture points that regulate the body’s energy, or Qi. Neglecting spinal health can lead to more than just aches and stiffness; it can impact everything from digestion and sleep to energy levels and overall well-being.



The Link Between the Spine, Nervous System, and Energy Flow

The spine acts as a communication highway, allowing messages to flow between the brain and body. When misalignments (subluxations) occur, this communication is disrupted, potentially leading to pain, tension, and even systemic issues. But what many don’t realise is that along the spine are numerous acupuncture points that help ensure smooth energetic circulation throughout the body. When these points are blocked or imbalanced, it can contribute to chronic tension, stress, and fatigue.


This is where the combination of acupuncture and chiropractic care can provide incredible benefits. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine, restoring proper nerve function and mobility, while acupuncture works to release deep muscular tension and improve energy flow.


Acupuncture & Chiropractic: A Perfect Pair

At Sen Health Clinic, we integrate acupuncture and chiropractic care to enhance healing and recovery. While chiropractic adjustments restore spinal alignment and nervous system function, acupuncture provides gentle yet effective muscle release, allowing for a more comfortable and longer-lasting adjustment.


How This Combination Benefits You:
  • Deeper Muscle Release – Acupuncture targets knots and muscle tension at a deeper level, without the discomfort of deep tissue massage.

  • Prepares the Body for Adjustments – Relaxing the muscles beforehand allows chiropractic adjustments to be smoother and more effective.

  • Minimises Post-Treatment Soreness – Many of our patients report less post-adjustment stiffness when combining acupuncture with chiropractic care.

  • Supports the Nervous System & Energy Flow – This approach helps ensure both physical and energetic balance, promoting overall well-being.
