Our bodies consist of 75 trillion cells, each producing many thousands of chemical reactions every second. The function of each cell, is co-ordinated in perfect harmony by our innate intelligence, as it constantly adapts to our changing environment.
This is expressed through our brain, spinal cord and nerves to all cells of our bodies. These chemical reactions are telling your brain about how you are feeling and functioning. By expressing this information, your nervous system co-ordinates and gives life to all the cells and structures in your body.
Malfunctions or misalignments of joints in your spine, pelvis and skull, interfere with the flow of this information through your nervous system. This results in a reduction in the function of your body’s cells and organs, resulting in diminished levels of health.
