Concentrate! Causes and Solutions for the Inability to Focus
Everyone has had that foggy brain feeling at one point or another. There’s nothing worse than the inability to concentrate. Where you once could focus on the task at hand until completion, you now can’t even get started on the task because you just can’t concentrate! If this is you, there might be a reason that you can’t focus. While it’s easy to chalk it up to a busy life, lack of sleep, or demanding families, it could be more than that. For some common causes of foggy brain and a solution to get rid of it for good, read on.
What Causes the Inability to Concentrate?
While a busy lifestyle can certainly contribute to that feeling of being unable to concentrate, it is usually not the sole factor. Things tied to a busy lifestyle like poor nutrition or sleep deficiency are much more likely to cause an inability to focus. Another big contributor is an unhealthy spine. Since the spine is part of the central nervous system, an unhealthy spine can cause messages to be delayed or delivered improperly. The result? Many negative symptoms like pain, anxiety, inability to focus, among many others.
How Can the Spine be Unhealthy?
You might be tempted to think that if the spine were unhealthy, you would have to know about it, right? Not necessarily. Often, the vertebrae of the spine become misaligned. Besides symptoms like those mentioned above, you may be unaware of this happening. The misaligned spine is generally found at a doctor's visit or check up.
What Can Be Done About an Unhealthy Spine?
The best course of treatment for a misaligned spine is to get chiropractic care. A chiropractor may be able to use spinal manipulation to put the spine back into its proper alignment. This can alleviate the symptoms that come along with it including the inability to focus or concentrate. If you want to keep the symptoms away, try getting chiropractic care on a regular basis. This ensures that your spine stays in its proper alignment week after week.
