Have you ever heard of subluxations?
These misalignments in the spine can disrupt nerve communication, leading to pain and health issues. We are committed to your family’s overall health and wellness, which is why we want to provide educational information to help you better understand and care for your spine!
Our spine protects our spinal cord, which is the message highway from our brain to all of our other muscles, tissues, organs and glands via the nerves that exit between each vertebra. Commonly known as the “central nervous system”, it’s the master controller of all of your body’s systems. If just one vertebra is even slightly out of alignment, it can cause nerve interference.
This nerve interference is the result of a subluxated vertebra or vertebral subluxation.
What is a Subluxation?
In its simplest terms, vertebral subluxation is the result of a vertebra becoming misaligned or fixed out of position. Since the nerves travel between the vertebrae, this can result in nerve interference. This is similar to pinching a straw and less liquid being able to get through.
Similarly, nerve interference can cause the messages from the brain to the muscles, tissues, organs and glands to be inhibited It can be surprising to learn of the seemingly inconsequential habits that may cause your spinal traumas and issues.
If the messages from the brain are not getting through it can manifest in symptoms completely unrelated to back and neck pain. Every system of the body is controlled by the central nervous system: immune system, digestion and elimination, respiratory system, etc.
