To get an illustration of how certain levels of our spine are related to certain muscles and organs of our body (through the corresponding exiting nerves) and their possible effects, please click on the chart.
Most of the time, you may not even know that your spine is out of alignment, as symptoms are usually absent during the initial phase of misalignments. By the time you feel pain or discomfort, much time (it could be days, months or years) usually has lapsed.
Therefore, it is important for your spine to be checked by a chiropractor regularly so that it stays well aligned and your body functions at its best. Just like your car needs to be checked by a mechanic regularly, the same goes for your body.
