What area does a vertebral subluxation affect in relation to health?

A vertebral subluxation is a misalignment of the vertebrae that can interfere with the nervous system's ability to function effectively. This misalignment can impact the communication between the brain and the body's organ systems, which affects their function and, ultimately, general health. The spine houses and protects the spinal cord, which transmits nerve signals to and from the brain, influencing not just physical health, but mental clarity and emotional well-being as well. Therefore, the effects of a vertebral subluxation are extensive, spanning multiple aspects of health rather than being confined to just one area. This holistic understanding of health is fundamental in chiropractic philosophy, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the body’s systems.
