A brief introduction to the human nervous system:

Your brain and nervous system control the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of the human body. The brain stem and spinal cord are the primary pathway for nerve impulses to and from the brain. The nerve impulses which travel through these pathways control virtually every action and sensation of the body.

 

Your brain, brain stem and spinal cord are protected by bone. Your skull protects your brain and you spine protects your spinal cord. Your spinal column consists of 24 separately movable bones. There are 7-cervical, 12-thoracic and 5-lumbar vertabrae. At the base of the spinal column are the sacrum and coccyx.

 

Everyday stresses and strains can cause your spinal bones to lose their normal range of motion or normal positions and alignment. This sets of a chain reaction which affects the vertebrae, nerves, muscles, discs, ligaments, tendons and other soft tissues. These changes can result in spinal degeneration called Vertebral Subluxation Degeneration.

 

When spinal joints become stuck or fixated and they are not moving enough, they force other spinal joints to compensate by moving too much. This can distort normal spinal alignment and curves. Sometimes problems in one area on the spine will cause compensatory problems in another area of the spine.

 

Vertebral Subluxations can be caused by physical trauma (birth trauma, poor posture, repetitive motion, car accidents, slips and falls), emotional stress (negative thoughts, unhealthy relationships, stressful work and fear), or chemical imbalances (drugs, alcohol, nicotine, toxins, pollution and unhealthy foods).

 

Chiropractors are the only licensed health care practitioners trained to locate and adjust Vertebral Subluxations.

 

Vertebral Subluxations can be detected by analyzing posture, interpreting diagnostic X-rays, measuring range of motion and other orthopedic and neurologic tests.

 

Correcting a Vertebral Subluxation complex takes time, as does all healing. Vertebral Subluxations interfere with the body's ability to function optimally including Healing, Growing, Thinking, Feeling, Emotions and your Spirit. Vertebral Subluxations are the cause of many of the health concerns that people suffer from every day.
