When people talk about what chiropractors do, they usually say they work on bones, or maybe the muscles in the spinal area.  That is true, but what many don’t realize is that chiropractors also work on the nerves contained in the spinal column that send messages throughout your entire body.

Spine and Nerves Work Together

From the brain, nerves pass down the spinal cord and out to different parts of the body.  The nerves leave the spinal cord through the vertebrae, which are the openings between the spinal bones. Since the entire body is under control of the nervous system, when the vertebrae are out of alignment it can disturb normal functions throughout the body.

What Do Nerves Control?

Nerve impulses make all movement possible and control every organ, cell, and tissue in your body. It is easy to see that having a nervous system that functions properly is an important part of taking care of your body. When a chiropractor realigns the vertebrae, it is enabling the full flow of your nerves which will release and free the irritated or pinched nerves to perform their normal duties.

Chiropractic is Key

Chiropractic can help find and correct the cause of many health problems, such as nerves, learning disorders, sciatic and leg pain, and allergies. After an examination, a chiropractor can determine which areas of your spine are involved and gently give you an adjustment to correct or reduce the vertebral subluxations.
