Subluxation causes dysfunction in the nervous system at a spinal level that can manifest as symptoms and conditions. You might think chiropractic is about your back and in many ways it is but really it’s about wellness and it all starts with the brain body connection.
The World Health Organization says that subluxations occur when a spinal joint gets jarred out of a healthy position either through traumas or through bad habits. This tweaking and twisting of tissues creates damage to the soft tissue which creates inflammation and causes nerve irritation.
I want you to think of your spine as your suit of armor. It’s your lifeline. In fact your spine protects your spinal cord which is part of your central nervous system just like your skull protects your brain. Remember your brain and spinal cord are one continuous system.
The flow of that intelligence or information across the nerves is what keeps you healthy and healing. All tissues organs and organ systems rely on this nerve system to or nerve supply to function well and stay healthy.
That makes every choice we make in life important. We are either giving our body what it needs, or we’re interfering with its program. So let’s not forget how smart our bodies are. There is an innate intelligence that runs your body.
Once you learn that as a human being you’re designed to be healthy, that you can be healthy. And that as long as your nervous system is operating without any interference your body has the unique ability to heal itself and to function optimally.
