The telephone enables us to communicate with someone within a few seconds. Our innate intelligence coordinates and controls the function of all our cells. The nervous system is made up of the brain, the spinal cord, and millions upon millions of miles of fine wire, a thousand times thinner than a human hair that go to every organ, tissue, and cell. This communication system is a more sophisticated computer system than any ever designed and yet the brain is about the size of two fists held together. Man has always known about the importance of the nervous system and that any interference within it can cause malfunction and even death. Because of its importance, the nervous system is protected by bone. The brain is protected by the skull, and the spinal cord is protected by the vertebral column.
When the bones of the vertebral column become misaligned or subluxated, they interfere with the function properly. The objective of the chiropractor then is to adjust the vertebrae into their proper position, taking the pressure off the nerves and allowing the life force to flow once again so that each part of the body can begin to work properly. The body has the capacity to heal itself and maintain itself in a healthy state, but only within the limitations of its matter.
