The body is a neuro-chemical system.
Because physical performance is dependent on proper communication between brain and muscles and organs, we focus on removal of obstructions to this nerve flow.
As nerve impulses travel from the brain to the target organs or muscles they may become diminished by physical obstruction, biochemical changes or neuro-emotional imbalances. This obstruction which curtails nerve flow is called subluxation.
With subluxation, both sensory and motor functions of the nervous system are diminished. The body becomes less sensitive to physical signals, making us unaware when activities are leading to dysfunction. This continuum progresses from subluxation to dysfunction to symptoms to disease. At the extreme we lose capability of accurately controlling our own bodily functions.
The removal of subluxations is a primary goal of Chiropractic healing. The goal is to improve physical performance, organ function and immunity.
Subluxation -> Dysfunction -> Symptoms -> Disease
