Electrical Vagus Nerve Stimulation to Improve Pelvic Health: Part 2

This is a continuation of Part 1: The auricular branch of the vagus nerve, cranial nerve X, innervates multiple areas of the ear and is an essential treatment location to improve pelvic health. The vagus nerve is the most parasympathetic-specific target we can treat. The Vagus nerve is sometimes referred to as the “wandering nerve” because of its meandering path leading from the brainstem to the heart, organs, intestines, aorta, and more. It innervates a lot more unique structures than any other nerve I’m aware of.

The vagus nerve is the primary nerve of the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system and about 80% of the nerve fibers are afferent, indicating its main job is to tell the brain what is going on in our organs and other subconscious bodily functions, so our brain can monitor and regulate what is going on. The vagus nerve gives our brain interoceptive awareness, or awareness of what is going on inside our body.
