Your Safety Pin Cycle... bet you didn't know you had one


Your health is determined on how well the body is functioning.  When we say functioning, we don't mean "how's your blood pressure?" or " How's your cholesterol?"  When the body is looked at that way, we look at it like a machine, the only way we can help it is to try to add or take away chemicals or body parts.  So hows the body functioning means how is the whole body working with itself?  The only way to check that out is to see if there is anything interfering with function.  We know that your brain and spinal cord determine all functions that go in in your body down to the cellular level. 

The healthiest way to check for interference is to go to your chiropractor.  We are trained to analyze the spine and all it's moving parts to see if something is out of it's proper alignment and putting un-needed pressure on the nervous system.

Enjoy the simple diagram below on how Subluxations affect you everyday health and living.
It's called the Safety Pin Cycle.

When spinal vertebrae pinch or choke nerves, affected organs and tissues don’t work the way they should and ill-health results.
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. (i.e., constipation.)
Facilitative Lesions
If spinal vertebrae chafe or irritate nerve tissue, signals going from or to the affected organ or tissue can be excited. (i.e., diarrhea.)

When the neurological circuits have integrity, your body works as it was designed.

The nervous system is vulnerable where delicate nerve tissue comes into proximity with the moving bones of your spine. That’s why we're interested in your spine!
