NERVES CONTROL EVERYTHING

Every cell in your body is controlled by a nerve. Each gland, organ, and tissue in your body receives information from your brain through nerves. If those signals are interrupted, your body may malfunction. If your nerves are not functioning at 100%, you will develop some form of problem within the body. It may be pain, or it may be a sleeping problem, a digestive problem, or any other functional disorder.

Did you know only 10% of the nerves in your body are pain nerves? The other 90% are nerves that control your body's functions. If one of these nerves is pinched, you would experience a loss of proper function, but you may not notice any pain.


HOW YOUR NERVES WORK

Every nerve begins in the brain and travels through the spine to its destination in the body. If your spine is not aligned properly, these nerves can get choked. Below is a chart of how spinal problems can affect your body.
