• The chart below demonstrates the relationship between the spine, the spinal nerves, and all of the structures in the body. Click on the “ Windsor autopsies” tab for further explanation. The spinal column houses and protects the central nervous system. The nervous system and spinal cord supply every cell tissue and organ in the body. Pressure or irritation at any level of the spine can cause what is called a vertebral subluxation.

• Just like turning down a dimmer switch on the wall, less energy gets through and the light dims. It takes about 10mmm of pressure on a nerve, which is about the weight of a dime to decrease the nerves performance by approximately 40%. Over time, the decreased nerve energy to your muscles, cells tissues and organs can lead to ill health and disease. Your chiropractor is uniquely skilled to locate and remove these nerve interferences.
