NERUO-MUSCULAR-SKELETAL SYSTEM (NMS)

Motion, circulation, respiration, digestion ... Yes, all these basic life functions and more are made possible by an extremely complex but combined system of your body: the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems. ¹

The Profitt philosophy of chiropractic is based upon the above fact. It is really very simple. The brain sends and receives information from the organs, glands, joints, blood vessels, etc. to the body. The brain uses the spinal cord and nerves to talk to these parts of your body. The spinal cord is housed (protected) by the 24 bones of your back, called vertebrae (spine). The nerves are branches (roots) that come off of the spinal cord and come out through tunnels (Intervertebral foramina) that are made by bones in your spine. Motion occurs between the bones of your spine as well as other joints in your body. Muscles, controlled by the brain and nervous system, make motion occur. Muscles that work properly help you walk, rise up out of a chair, and use the computer mouse to view this website.

The bones, muscles and nerves must work together as a team in the body. Pain, stiffness, numbness, tingling, headaches, etc. will occur when they are not functioning properly as one.

Chiropractic and the adjustments that are performed will help the bones muscles, and nerves work together.
