Here\u2019s how it\u2019s bigger: the brain is constantly regulating all other body parts to keep everything functioning just right. A complex system of nerves carries messages from the brain throughout the body. Movable spinal bones, called vertebrae, protect the spinal cord and nerve system. But subluxations can happen if a spinal bone gets misaligned. Then instead of protecting, it insults the nerve system, and sets the stage for malfunction. Precise chiropractic care locates and corrects those subluxations that interfere with the body\u2019s vital communication system. Because good nerve supply is essential, the implications of such an adjustment are huge.<\/p>\n
Information sent from the brain to the body parts is called a mental impulse. Mental impulses travel through the nerve system, continuously controlling all bodily functions. But when a subluxation occurs, it interferes with the transmission of mental impulses, resulting in distorted information reaching the body\u2019s organs, tissues and cells. When that happens a person might not have immediate symptoms, but it\u2019s never a good thing to have poor nerve supply to your heart, lungs, liver or legs. A successful adjustment restores normal nerve supply, making our goal, to get the mental impulses from the brain to the body parts without interference \u2013 a really big objective.<\/p>\n
People sometimes ask about the benefits of what we do, because they want to know what to expect. In many ways the answer is simple, \u201cwe expect the body to work better.\u201d But because every part of the body is involved, it\u2019s difficult to say exactly what they might feel. Should it mean less pain? Perhaps, but it\u2019s not even done for that reason, we adjust subluxations because they interfere with the vital transmission of mental impulses. Since all bodily functions depend upon those messages from the brain, it\u2019s reasonable to say that life is better expressed with a good nerve supply. ![\"My](\"http:\/\/www.youneedchiro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/My-mom...-300x252.jpg\")
Who needs a good nerve supply? Well that one is easy to answer, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sick people, well people, old people and young people all experience a more organized, productive life when they have a good nerve supply.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the mental impulse, I\u2019ll be doing a presentation on that subject before the state chiropractic association in New Jersey<\/a> in a couple of weeks. To make that possible the office will be closed from Friday, June 9 through Monday, June 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cGive people what they want, and do so with excellence.\u201d It sounds like the formula for a successful business, doesn\u2019t it?
