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.
