Your Spine and Nervous System
Your nervous system is the centre which controls and coordinates your body. Your spinal cord is located within the spinal canal. Your spinal cord extends the whole length of spine, and your nerves branch off from the spine to every muscle and organ of your body. Good health, to your Chiropractor, is when your nervous system function properly and free from any interference caused by subluxations.
