Your Spine

This will give you a better idea about when you are having symptoms, where are they coming from. Many things can impair your nervous system and interfere with its function. When there is NO INTERFERENCE, your nervous system controls the HEALTHY FUNCTION of virtually every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body.

You can look to the chart to see what areas of your spine control
certain functions and organs of your body.
