Narrative: The spine is not simply a stack of bones, it is an antenna for the nervous system. Saccades transform intention into motion faster than conscious awareness can follow. They are influenced by every major region that processes sensory input and coordinates movement. This makes them powerful tools for detecting central changes triggered by chiropractic adjustments.
When a spinal segment is realigned and joint afferentation improves, the nervous system samples the world differently. Eye movements reveal this change in real time. When Chiropractic clinicians examine saccades, they are not diagnosing eye disease; they are observing the nervous system solving a motor problem at high speed.
