Chart of Effects of Spinal Misalignment
To be healthy, it is essential that your
nervous system function properly and free from any interference caused by
subluxations. Subluxations can cause interference to the nervous system at
any point along the spine where the nerves exit. This can adversely affect
the function of various parts of your body, and ultimately your health. The
chart below is designed to give you a look at just some of the relationships
between the areas of your spine and your nervous system. Keep in mind that
your nervous system is much more complex than can be shown here.
