If the affected nerve happens to be carrying a message to the liver, the function of the liver can be altered. If the nerve is taking instructions from the brain to the heart, that organ's function may be upset. The fact is, the health of every part of the body depends on the proper flow of nerve energy. If that normal flow is interrupted or interfered with, the result is dis-ease. Some part of the body will not be able to function at peak performance.
Chiropractors locate misalignments in the vertebrae, called subluxations.
They use spinal adjustments to correct these subluxations. When the bones are allowed to go back to their proper positions, the nerve energy can resume its normal flow. Only then can the body continue its natural effort to maintain optimum health. When the flow of nerve energy is restored, the body is often able to heal itself. Some had tried medication or even surgery, but nothing seemed to help.
