Chiropractic care & Your Nervous System

Chiropractic care is so important to your body for many reasons.  One main reason why chiropractic care is so important even if you are not in pain is because a chiropractic adjustment stimulates and affects your nervous system.  This is why patients often report improvement in area such as allergies, asthma, headaches, ear infections, bed wetting, and pregnancy to name a few.  This is also why patient's receive chiropractic care on a ongoing basis to maintain their wellness.

Let me exlain why:

Virtually every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body is controlled and regulated by your nervous system.  Nerve impulses are sent from the brain to the organs and tissues of your body.  Nerve impulses are sent back to the brain to make sure everything is working correctly.  If spinal vertebrae pinch or choke the nerve tissue, signal going from or to the affected ogran or tissue can be diminished. (i.e. constipation.)  If spinal vertebrae irritate nerve tissue, signals going from or to the affected organ or tissue can be excited. (i.e. diarrhea.)  The nervous system is vulnerable where delicate nerve tissue comes into proximity with moving bones of your spine.  That's why chiropractors are so interested in your spine!

When spinal vertebrae pinch or choke nerves, affected organs and tissues don't work the way they should and ill-health results.

     When the neurological circuits have integrity, your body works as it was designed.
