Just Your Nerves

We are fond of saying, “Oh it’s only my nerves,” and “The problem isn’t too serious, it’s only nervous.” Unfortunately, statements like these dismiss the important role our nerves play in the proper functioning of our bodies.

Nerves transmit all sensation to and from the brain. They enable us to see, smell, taste, touch, and hear. They control our movement and regulate our essential functions like body temperature, breathing, and blood flow. In fact, nerves control every other system in our body and the nervous system is often called The Master System of The Human Body.

It should come as no surprise that good health is linked with good nerve function. Since all nerves run through the spine on their way out to the organs, glands, and muscles they control, the spinal bones can be thought of as the switchboard controlling the electrical system of the human body—your nerves.

Any pinching or interference from the bones as your nerves pass between them can cause trouble. This means that spinal problems can be seen as nervous problems.

Also, due to the intrinsic nature of nerves to interconnect and intercommunicate with one another and the various organs and tissue of the body, a single misaligned spinal vertebrae can cause malfunction in multiple organs as well as muscle pain and tightness. By freeing blocked nerves through correction of the subluxation, your chiropractic doctor removes interference, improves nerve function, and helps you to be a naturally healthier person.

Come in and see us today for a nerve function check-up.
