seek out chiropractors, there are many other health chal-
lenges chiropractic can help with.
Essentially, the nervous system is interwoven through-
out the body. If one were to view the entire network of
nerves without any other tissue, it still looks like a human
frame. The nervous system is remarkable in many ways,
especially in its necessity as the master control system of
the body.
When the frequency of nerve transmission is awry,
whatever structure, tissue, or organ enervated begins to
malfunction, or lose “tone.” Commonly, this is evidenced
by alteration of structure and function in the spine and
musculoskeletal system. This loss of tone and subsequent
function can also create many health problems whose
cause is sometimes unnoticed by many health care provid-
ers. When subluxation is the cause, chiropractic is the
solution in these cases.
While not all conditions are caused by subluxation,
many conditions can be helped by the removal of it. Many
seemingly incurable problems can respond positively to
chiropractic care. Essentially, it is often considered best

graduate as needed to more invasive, risky procedures and
methods to achieve health. This is one of many reasons
