How
does chiropractic affect your health?
The brain ultimately controls all functions of the
body. It controls breathing, digestion, heart rate, everything! The brain
communicates with the rest of the body through nerves which exit the spinal
cord. As they leave the spinal cord, these nerves must pass between the
vertebrae of the spine.
If
the vertebrae of the spine are misaligned in such a way
as to bring irritation to the nerves, this disrupts
communication between the body and the brain. This is
known as a subluxation. If the communication lines
between the brain and body are impeded, the brain cannot
properly control the functions of the body.

Proper chiropractic treatment
aligns the spine, which allows the body's nervous system to keep
its lines of communication open. As a result the body
stays healthier and more resistant to illness.
