The Body-Brain Connection
The human brain is amazing! It controls everything our bodies do—and ideally, everything works smoothly when our spines are aligned. However, when there is interference it can cause problems throughout. When vertebrae get out of alignment, or subluxated, it can put pressure on the nerve that allows communication between the brain and the body. This interference can cause all sorts of symptoms, like pain in your neck, lower back, upper back, headaches, and migraines. So how does chiropractic work between the body and brain? Basically—when your spine is aligned, communication lines are open! Check out this video for a more in-depth explanation with visual aids!

A subluxation can cause numbness, tingling, paint, and burning when the muscles aren’t responding properly due to interference. This is all a great reminder of why it is important to maintain proper spinal alignment and healthy to keep the nerve interference minimal and your body functioning at its best.
This is what chiropractic is great for! Getting your joints properly moving and your spine aligned, taking the pressure off the nerves.
