This will cause a reduction in the flow of nerve energy to some part of the body. When this occurs the organs and tissues which the pinched nerve supplies cannot function properly . . . That is why the chiropractic profession has always stated that to maintain good health and freedom from disease, all spinal misalignments should be promptly checked and corrected. Edmund S. Crelin, Ph.D., Professor of Anatomy at the Yale University School of Medicine, served as an expert witness in the case and supplied detailed analyses of various claims.
Nerves are gland cells.
They produce and release a hormone that causes the inhibition or the contraction of muscle cells and the inhibition or enhancement of secretion by a gland cell that includes another nerve cell. That is all they do, no more, no less. They do not actually conduct electricity or any other form of energy. A spinal nerve at the intervertebral opening is actually a thin tube of connective tissue containing the extensions of millions of nerve cells. This latter term is misleading because it connotes a certain firmness such as fine wires would have.
