Vertebral
Subluxation and Nerve Chart
"The nervous system controls and coordinates all
organs and structures of the human body." (Gray's Anatomy,
29th Ed., page 4) Misalignment of spinal vertebrae and discs
may cause irritation of the nervous system which could effect the
structures, organs, and functions listed under "areas" and
the "possible symptoms" that are associated with malfunctions
of the areas noted.
Medical Research on the Spine and Nerve Related Problems
"Over the years chiropractors have experienced
tremendous success in helping patients with all kinds of health
problems. For the most part the general public thinks chiropractors
are merely back pain doctors who relieve back and neck pain by "popping
the back". Most people don't realize the implications spinal misalignment
(or subluxations) has on their total health."
Below are representations of the Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumber
sections of the spine and listed are some of the possible related
problems associated with misalignment of the particular areas.
