The wisdom of your body (also called your innate intelligence) directs your life energies that travel as a flow of information through your brain, spinal cord and billions of nerve fibers to every cell of your body. This flow of communication is necessary for breathing, digestion, heartbeat, immune system function, muscles and for thousands of other bodily functions. If the flow of information through your nervous system is restricted in any way, the natural, healthy balance of your body will be disrupted and pain and dysfunction will be the likely result.

The most common cause of a "short-circuit" in your nervous system is a vertebral subluxation. A vertebral subluxation is a spinal misalignment that interferes with your nerves ability to transmit signals to the rest of your body. They can create lowered resistance to disease, pain, imbalance, fatigue and can pave the way for ill health. It is sometimes called the "silent killer" because it can slowly eat away at your health and vitality for years without you having the slightest awareness of it. Doctors of Chiropractic specialize in locating and correcting vertebral subluxations. As part of a complete correction, stretches, exercises and nutritional recommendations are available to help you maintain those corrections.

Here it is plain and simple:

A vertebral subluxation is a misaligned vertebra causing interference with nerve messages between your brain and your body. The misalignments that are severe enough to cause pain will cause you to seek help. The minor misalignments are the ones that end up turning into things that people describe in mid-life and forward as arthritis, and other joint ache maladies that quite simply never had to happen. In most cases they wouldn't have had the chance to turn into something worse, had their minor starting point misalignments been found and straightened out early on. You owe it to your self to determine if there are any "Time Bombs" in your framework
