Your nervous system controls and coordinates every
function of your body. It is your nervous system that allows you
to adapt to, and live in your environment. A large portion of your
nervous system passes through your spine. It is your spinal cord
that acts as the major cable exiting your brain, travels down inside
your spinal column and branches off into spinal nerves at various
levels of your spine. These spinal nerves then exit between individual
spinal vertebrae and go to the various parts of your body. To be
healthy it is essential that your nervous system function properly
and free from any interference caused by subluxations. Subluxations
can cause interference to the nervous system at any point along
the spine where the nerves exit. This can adversely affect the function
of various parts of your body, and ultimately your health. The chart
below is designed to give you a look at just some of the relationships
between the areas of your spine and your nervous system. Keep in
mind that your nervous system is much more complex than can be shown
here.
