Spine and Nervous System
The nervous system is the master control system of the body. It controls and regulates every organ, tissue, and cell in the body, and is ultimately responsible for optimal function and healing. The spine, skull and pelvis house the nervous system.
When functioning correctly, the spine provides the nervous system with stability and protection.
Subluxation
The World Health Organisation defines Subluxation as: "A lesion or dysfunction in a joint or motion segment in which alignment, movement integrity and/or physiological function are altered, although contact between joint surfaces remains intact. It is essentially a functional entity, which may influence biomechanical and neural integrity."
Chiropractic
Chiropractic is the analysis, detection, and assisted correction of vertebral subluxation. In reducing or removing subluxation, neurological coordination and function can be restored.
Who Can Get Subluxated?
In short — anyone with a spine and nervous system!
Physical traumas such as the birthing process, childhood falls, sporting injuries, and poor work postures; chemical stressors such as alcohol, preservatives, and environmental toxins; and psychological stressors — can all cause dysfunction in the spine and nervous system.
