The human body is a self-healing organism controlled by the nervous system. The body follows “instructions” sent by the brain. These “instructions” are sent through the spinal cord and then distributed to every organ, tissue and cell in your body. When vertebrae become misaligned they can interfere with the nerve communication and can lead to irritated nerves and compromised function of organs and tissues. Chiropractors look for and attempt to correct these interferences in the spinal column so that the body can effectively communicate and heal itself.
