That is until you bend over to pick up a pencil, cough, sneeze, lift something heavy or wake up in the morning unable to turn your neck or move your lower back. Spinal subluxations are important. Vertebrae that are left out of place greatly stress and irritate spinal discs, joints and muscle tissue. Over time the stressed joints become arthritic and the discs deteriorate. As discs collapse and arthritis worsens spinal nerves become pinched.
Spinal pain becomes more intense.
Less spinal motion is possible. Spasm of the regional muscles occurs creating chronic neck, mid back or low back attacks. Nerves which supply the arms, legs, face, chest or other regions may become inflamed as decaying spinal vertebrae begin to compress or pinch them. These spinal nerves travel to all parts of the body. Spinal nerves which help to control the function of all the major organs and blood vessels can loose their ability to fully direct the organs they supply.
