Chiropractors are the only doctors trained in the detection and correction of vertebral subluxation. Vertebral subluxations can exist with or without pain; either way they have a devastating effect on our health. The role of the nervous system is to control the function of every cell, tissue and organ in the body, plus adapts and relates your body to the environment1.  Most people are unaware that only 10% of your nervous system is made up of sensory (pain) nerves. The other 90% controls everything else: your heart, lungs, thinking, breathing, digestion, immune system, the five senses, etc. Once again, vertebral subluxations interfere with nerve function. But what causes subluxation? Physical, chemical, and emotional stress beyond our body’s ability to adapt causes subluxations. If there is interference with nerve function there will be interference with the body's ability to heal and regulate. This stress and tension on your nervous system causes a downward spiral in your health and vitality! Research by Sharpless et al showed that it only takes 10mm Hg of pressure to reduce nerve function by 60%1 (10mm Hg is equivalent to the weight of a dime on the back of your hand). Chiropractors correct subluxations and allow our bodies to function optimally.
