The Nervous System controls the function of the entire body. The Brain is the control centre, and the spinal cord and nerves are the messengers. When correct spinal alignment is altered, the nerves can be irritated producing pain.

Scientific research has shown that the slightest pressure on the nerve will alter nerve function, producing pain and possibly numbness as in Sciatica and Repetitive Strain Injury. Chiropractic treatment has been found to be most effective in the treatment and management of these conditions. As a result, you may also have referred pain in other parts of your body originating from the spine.
