The modern
doctor of Chiropractic works both directly and indirectly with the nerves,
because every function of your entire body is under control of the nervous
system.
Every organ,
tissue and cell is controlled by neurological impulses travelling from the bran
to every part of the body. Nerves make it possible for sight, smell, taste,
touch and hearing. Nerves maintain your balance and keep your body temperature
at 37.6 degrees. Nerves control your liver, your lungs, your spleen, your
pancreas, your gallbladder and kidneys and all other organs. In fact, the
nervous system is the master system which controls all other systems of the
entire body including the glandular, reproductive, digestive, elimination,
respiratory and circulatory. Complete perfect natural health comes only when
you have a complete perfect natural normal functioning nervous system.
For a doctor of Chiropractic, the avenue of
approach is the spine because it houses and protects the spinal cord - the
switchboard of the nervous system through which nerves pass from the brain to
different parts of the body. The nerves leave the spine through openings between movable spinal bones
called vertebrae. When these vertebrae move out of alignment there can be an
interference with the normal activities of the nerve. This interference can
disturb function throughout the body and cause many diseases.
