The power of the human body is an amazing thing. Our job as chiropractors is to remove the inteference caused by a subluxation to allow the body to function at 100% and heal itself. The brain is effectively the first organ to develop while in the mother’s womb. Our brain is the main command center for the rest of our body, and uses our spinal cord and nerves from the beginning to create every cell
and organ. From development onto death, this command center is in charge of the flow of "power" along the spine and through the nervous system, controlling all function and healing within the body. Therefore, attaining overall health and wellness is directly associated to maximizing your nerve supply. The intricacy of the nervous system is so powerful and subtle that it is able to control millions of cells inside dozens of operating systems all at once. Right now you are currently breathing, your heart is beating and your eyes are blinking, all while sustaining feeling and keeping pace within your limbs. All of these individual operations are done without effort and sometimes unknowingly due to your nervous systems ability to manage and regulate your body's function. While your body may be able to go days without water, weeks without food, and even minutes without oxygen, it cannot keep going one second without the power created by your nervous system! The nervous system is so essential to your body that it is covered within a well-built, bony structure to keep damaging elements away from the sensitive nerves. This bony structure consists of the skull, which guards the upper brain, and the spinal column, which shelters the spinal cord and nerve roots. When this column is not well taken care of, it may shift or rotate out of place, interfering with your body's ability to create maximum nerve supply! The condition of your spine then influences both your physical and mental health--making it essential to optimal performance. Developments in modern medicine have allowed chiropractors the capability to make defined measurements of the spine, giving them the resources to make an precise measurement of both the damage done to your spine and nervous system, as well as the accurate recommendations for care.
