MIND BODY CONNECTION Did you know that your nervous system is the remarkable link responsible for communication between your mind and body? In fact, nerve fibers flow into every cell, tissue, and organ of your body, and have direct links to your immune system. That’s why keeping your spinal cord and nervous system healthy is essential if you want to be healthy and live life to its fullest. As early as 1993, scientists uncovered evidence of an anatomical connection between the nervous system and the immune system. They discovered that if nerves were removed from the spleen or lymph nodes, " you virtually stopped the immune responses in their tracks". Research has also proven that spinal nerves are much more susceptible to pressure than previously thought. A university of Colorado study concluded that only 5-10 mm of mercury pressure (about the weight of a dime) can reduce nerve transmission while the stretching of a nerve by a s little as 6% can decrease its strenghth by up to 70% Chiropractors can improve the quality of life by removing the misalignments of the spine that put pressure on the nervous system (Subluxations).
