Vertebral Subluxation

“When chiropractors use this phrase, vertebral subluxation, they refer to mechanical compression and irritation to spinal joints and nerves”.   The strong bones of the spine have been designed to protect the delicate nerve system.  The brain, spinal cord, and nerves are part of the nerve system.  Your brain is your master controller.  Your brain sends messages to all parts of the body through the spinal cord and out through the nerves. 
The nerve system is like the electrical wires in a home.  You have a Electrical Box that is like the Brain.  The wires run out from the electrical box to the areas of your home, like your T.V., lights, refrigerator, etc.    What happens if the wire running to your T.V. is pinched, kinked or even severed, will your T.V. work?  Well, of course, not!
The same thing happens in your body, when there is interference between the electrical box (brain) and the parts of the house (body), then that part of the house (body) will not be able to work or will work (function) at a less than optimal level.
Therefore vertebral subluxation can affect the body in many ways.  For one person, it could show up as back pain. For another person it could be ear infections or gastrointestinal complaints or (fill in the blank).
