To be able to name and locate the depressions, articular and nonarticular eminences is of especial benefit to surgeons, but to a chiropractor it is all important and of more service to be acquainted with the relationship existing between bones and nerves. In order to have health, nerves must have normal tension, innervate each and every organ of the body, so that their functions may be properly performed. See pages 761 and 766 of The Adjuster.

Molecular vibration produces heat in animate and inanimate bodies.
Excessive nerve vibration, molecular disturbance, causes inflammation.
