Your brain controls every single function of your body, from your digestive and circulatory systems to your immune system. It controls your body chemistry making you sleep when you need rest and giving you energy when it is needed.

Your brain and body communicate through your spinal cord and nervous system. Messages are sent out to your body and its organs, which then send messages back to your brain with vital information about what’s going on in both your internal and external environments. Are you too hot? Or too cold? Did you eat or drink too much? Are you hungry? Are there any stimuli causing you discomfort? Is everything okay? Your brain analyses these messages and then sends out new ones to make your body respond in the appropriate way from constricting or dilating your blood vessels to secreting a hormone to pumping out stomach acid. There are billions of cells in your body responding to millions of commands each second, hour and day of your life. This is how the integrity, well-being, and status quo of your body are maintained.

Your health depends on messages between your brain and body being clearly transmitted through the vast network of your nervous system. If there is interference in this communication system then poor health will result. If we keep the communication path free and clear, your body will perform at its innate optimal level.

The purpose of chiropractic care is to remove any interference from your nervous system so that your body and brain can communicate freely and fully.
