How Vertebral Subluxation Affects Your Health

Vertebral subluxation is more than just a simple chiropractic term; it can have a significant impact on your emotional and physical well-being. At the Marc Bony Chiropractic Center in Mataró, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy spine.

Vertebral Subluxations can affect

1. Your emotional health. A subluxation can have a wide range of emotional effects.
2. Trophic substances. Nerves supply muscles and other organs with nutrition. They are essential for the tone and vitality of the organ.
3. Your meninges that cover your brain, spinal cord, and many nerves and connect to your spine can be distorted by a subluxation. This can affect the stability and health of your spine and entire nervous system. Within the meninges flows the cerebrospinal fluid, which is essential for the proper health of the nervous system and the body in general.
4. Your organ health (somato-autonomic relationship). An interruption in the nerve-organ relationship has been linked to a weakened immune system, irregularities in blood pressure, altered liver function, and other conditions.
5. Your immune system function. Nerve fibers go to virtually every organ of the immune system and make direct contact with immune system cells…if the nerves to the spleen or lymph nodes were removed, you would stop the immune system’s action cold…Now there is a tremendous amount of evidence that hormones and neurotransmitters can influence immune system activities, and that immune system products can influence the brain.
