Can you imagine a part of your body that doesn't need nerve supply to tell it what to do?
Every single cell in your body depends either directly or indirectly on the signals sent from the brain. It is via the spinal cord (which travels through the bones of the spine) and peripheral nerves that those messages reach the billions of cells in your body.

Do you have shooting pain down the back of your leg?  Do you wake up in the morning with numbness or tingling in your hands?  Do you suffer frequent headaches, especially when stressed?  Does your shoulder "catch" in certain positions?  Do your knees feel like they are going to "give way" under you?  Have you been involved in a car accident recently and are now suffering from neck pain and headaches?  All of these are extremely common disorders that we treat every single day.

Chiropractic has even been known to help with a range of organic problems such as asthma, premenstrual tension, incontinence, constipation, digestive problems, heart regulation problems, skin problems, ability to cope with stress and dizzy spells.
