While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is more vulnerable.
All nerves from the brain travel down through the vertebrae, branch off and pass through openings along the spine to get to their destinations. Stress, trauma or chemical imbalances can cause vertebrae to lose their normal position or motion and irritate the nervous system.This disrupts the functions of the tissues or organs those nerves control. This is called the vertebral subluxation complex.
Your chiropractor is primarily interested in detecting, reducing and preventing the vertebral subluxation complex.
