What is the master controller within your body?
Your BRAIN serves as mission control, containing 86 billion neurons that process information and send commands, while your spinal cord acts as the information highway, carrying messages between your brain and body at speeds up to 268 miles per hour.
This partnership controls all your body systems simultaneously - your cardiovascular system (heart rate, blood pressure), respiratory system (breathing patterns), digestive system (from saliva production to muscle contractions), immune system (coordinating immune responses), endocrine system (hormone regulation), and musculoskeletal system (every movement and posture adjustment).
Even simple actions like picking up a pen involve thousands of nerve signals coordinating visual processing, motor planning, muscle activation, sensory feedback, and fine motor control - all happening in milliseconds.
While you’re reading this, your nervous system is unconsciously regulating your breathing, maintaining your posture, processing sensory input, coordinating digestion, monitoring body temperature, and managing countless other functions simultaneously.
When subluxations or stress occurs, they interfere with the precise communication between your brain and spinal cord, disrupting the coordination needed for optimal function. Since your nervous system controls everything, this interference can create cascading effects throughout your entire body - affecting multiple systems simultaneously and reducing your body’s ability to adapt to stress.
When your brain and spinal cord can communicate clearly, your body can express its full potential for health, healing, and vitality - supporting everything from better sleep and immune function to increased energy and overall well-being.
