Virtually every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body is controlled and regulated by
your nervous system. And while the complex chemical and electrical nature of this vast
network is best left to others, here are four key things you should know:

Efferent Communications
Nerve impulses are sent from the brain out to the organs and
tissues of your body.

Afferent Communications
Nerve impulses are sent back to the brain to make sure
everything is working correctly.

Compressive Lesions
If spinal vertebrae pinch or choke nerve tissue, signals going
from or to the affected organ or tissue can be diminished.

Facilitative Lesions

| When spinal vertebrae pinch or choke nerves, affected organs and tissues don’t work the way they should and ill-health results. |

The safety pin cycle is one of my favorite examples of how chiropractic works to make
your body and spine function at its best.
For the sake of simplicity, the way I explain chiropractic to my patients is by visualizing
your body as a safety pin.
Imagine the top of the pin being the brain, the base of the pin the body and the wires
between the nerves.
The wire traveling from the top of the pin to the bottom acts like the nerves from the brain
to the body. The wire traveling from the bottom to the top of the pin are like the nerves
communicating from the body to the brain.
When the safety pin is undone, the communication between the brain and body is
interrupted or diminished. This interruption is called a SUBLUXATION. Subluxations
interfere with your body’s ability to perform to its maximum potential.
By adjusting the pin and clasping it together, the brain and body are free to function
optimally. Therefore by delivering an adjustment to misaligned bones in the spine
chiropractors help your body reach its full potential.
