Why Is Your Nervous System Important?

The goal of chiropractic is to locate and correct subluxations to release stress from your nervous system. Why is that important?
Your Very Important Nervous System
Without it, you’d be in the ultimate sensory deprivation tank – not be able to connect with anything or anyone not seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, or moving. You’d be completely alone inside yourself. It’s your connection to your inner and outer worlds – to all your body parts. You need it so all your body parts (billions and trillions of them) will work together in a coordinated, harmonious manner.
Your nervous system is made up of your brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, and more! You’ve got billions of nerve fibers – and they make up the most powerful communications system in the universe – and it’s inside you.
A healthy nervous system is needed for your entire body and mind to work at its optimum. A subluxation is a distortion in your body structure and stresses your nervous system, and interferes with its function. This interference can cause disease (body-mind-energy malfunction), and dis-ease can, in time, result in disease. Your Doctor of Chiropractic is an expert at locating and correcting (adjusting) subluxations helping your nerve system/communications system function without interference. The result is an improved function in every system of your body.
