Spinal subluxations not only have a physical impact, but they also have significant effects on emotional and immune health. Learn how chiropractic adjustments in Mataró can improve your overall well-being.
Spinal subluxations can also affect …
- Your Emotional Health. Some vertebral subluxations may cause a wide range of emotional impact.
- Trophic Substances. Nerves supply nutrients to muscles and other organs. They are essential for the tone and vitality of the organ.
- Your meninges, which surround your brain, spinal cord, and many nerves—all of which are connected to your spine—can be misaligned due to a subluxation. This can affect the stability and health of your spine and your entire nervous system. Cerebrospinal fluid flows within the meninges; this fluid is essential for the proper health of the nervous system and the body as a whole.
- Organ Health (Somato-Autonomic Relationship). A disruption in the nerve-organ relationship has been linked to a weakened immune system, irregularities in blood pressure, impaired liver function, and other conditions.
- Your Role in the Immune System. Nerve fibers extend to virtually every organ of the immune system and make direct contact with immune system cells…if you were to remove the nerves from the spleen or lymph nodes, you would bring the immune system’s activity to a complete halt…There is now a tremendous amount of evidence that hormones and neurotransmitters can influence the activities of the immune system, and that products of the immune system can influence the brain.
