The Role of the Central Nervous System, the Spine and Your Health
Your spine consists of 24 vertebrae that have been designed to stack on top of each other in perfect alignment running along the center of your back, protecting the spinal cord that lays within each vertebra.
Your central nervous system consists of your brain and spinal cord. Spinal nerves branch off of the spinal cord and control every single cell, tissue, and organ in your entire body. In order for your body to regulate and heal properly, messages must be able to flow freely from the brain to the body and from the body to the brain via your nerves.
The Spine has 31 pairs of nerve roots that exit out of the column between each vertebra and send signals to every system in your body. The Nervous system controls all systems including the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, digestive system, etc. The surrounding spinal tissues of bone, ligaments, and muscles can impact these sensitive nerve roots.
Chiropractic Subluxations
A subluxation is the presence of dysfunction at one or more vertebral levels and occurs when a spinal bone (vertebrae) becomes misaligned, causing “pinching” or irritation of a spinal nerve. This misalignment can be the cause of communication getting cut from the brain to the body and vice versa. A lack of communication between the nervous system and the body causes interference, which causes a body malfunction resulting in the dis-ease within a person.
When a subluxation is present, your body is unable to self-regulate and self-heal as it was designed to. Your Nervous System is no longer communicating well with your other systems.
A subluxation can be present for years without producing any signs or symptoms, or it can manifest as a multitude of symptoms no matter what your age. Unfortunately, it’s estimated only 8-14% of all nerves can actually sense pain. This means that you may have a subluxation present and not know it. Some refer to the subluxation as “the silent killer” for this very reason.
Schedule a Chiropractic Assessment to See if You Are Living with a Subluxation
Have you thought about improving your wellness with Chiropractic services? For preventative care, before a situation becomes noticeable and potentially worse, the recommendation is to schedule a chiropractic exam with a principled chiropractor who is trained specifically to assess the nervous system for subluxations and correct them with a specific chiropractic adjustment.
Diagnosing a subluxation earlier on as opposed to when symptoms may become noticeable will save time and money on your end. If your body becomes accustomed to the misalignment it is more vulnerable to injury and less resistant to proper healing in case of an accident. To ensure your optimal health schedule an assessment today with Dr. Nick at his Prescott Arizona chiropractic clinic, with his amazing staff and advanced chiropractic technology.
Could the Life You’re Living Become Even Better by Diagnosing a Subluxation?
What if you are living a life that is impacted by a subluxation? Nagging aching joints, headaches, blurred vision, allergies, constant sickness. These could all be linked to the misalignment of the bones in your spine. You are living a sub-par life with little, or big annoyances, when you could be free of them and living life at an optimal level.
