THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs and all of the nerves that connect these organs with the rest of the body. All of your consciousness and bodily functions are managed through the brain, and the network of nerves that control your body run from your brain to your spine and then throughout the rest of the body.

 

Attached to your spinal cord, these web-like nerves run messages and responses between every muscle, tissue, organ, and system. If one of them gets pinched it can lead to all kinds of things that can cause stress or pain to the body.

 

Your 24 vertebrae constantly face gravity, can be impacted by bad posture, and encounter injuries with consequences that can disguise themselves in other parts of the body. For example, knee problems can be derived from lower back issues, or numbness in the hands, can be derived from nerve damage in the neck.

 

We often use the term subluxation that describes a misalignment of two or more bones in the spine. They cause nerve damage and stress which are common causes for pain and issues.

 

Keeping your nervous system is good shape keeps your body functioning as well as possible and without pain.
