The nervous system is the major source of power for your body and the communication pathways from your brain to everything else. It is comprised of three different types of nerves, sensory, motor, and autonomic. The sensory nerves are the ones that power your sense of touch. These are also the nerves that generally detect pain in your body. Your motor nerves power your muscles and help you move. The autonomic nerves help the regulation and functioning of your organs. You can think of the communication between your brain and your organs as automatic, which is a good thing because you wouldn’t want to have to think about controlling the beating of your heart or the digestion of your food!
A subluxation is a chiropractic term for a dysfunctional joint in the body that is negatively affecting the nervous system. Since a subluxation can affect the sensory, motor, and or autonomic parts of your nervous system, common symptoms of a subluxation include pain, numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, muscle spasm, or sub-optimal functioning of your internal organs. Even if pain is not present in your body, it does not mean that you are subluxation free and that your nervous system is functioning properly. A healthy nervous system is the key to the health and wellness of the individual and should be checked regularly!
