Chiropractic and Health, What's the connection?
In fact, it is the connection that the full spectrum chiropractor is chiefly concerned with; the connection between the Brain and the Body, namely The Nervous System. Nearly every function of the body is the result of instructions from the brain. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that the multitude of constant messages from the brain pass uninterrupted through the nerve pathways to their vast number of life determining destinations. The brain and the spinal cord are so crucial to life and wellness that the
innate wisdom of the body protects them with a casing of hard bone; the skull and the vertebral bones of the spine.
When these vertebral segments lose their proper alignment, orientation, or motion with one another they compromise the nerve messages responsible for the coordination and health of the body tissues. This situation is called VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION COMPLEX, and is defined further in later pages. Since "subluxations" interfere with nervous system function (the brain/body connection) it follows that uncorrected subluxations have a devastating effect on the function and health of the body. Chiropractic adjustments remove this interference to the nervous system, thereby
allowing the optimal expression of the body's amazing built-in capacities for life and health.
