When you have soreness, numbness, swelling and pain in your head, neck, shoulders, chest, waist, legs, it indicates that you have a problem with your spine and in most cases, once you get the misaligned vertebrae in the right position, the symptoms will also disappear. If every vertebra is in its normal position, then the entire spine shows two forward curves (cervical and lumbar) and two backward curves (thoracic and sacral). When the curvature of the spine is good —- where it should be bent and where it should be straight, people are less prone to disease; if the physiological curvature of the spine changes, the body tends to fall into sub-health or chronic disease. The 31 pairs of nerves in the human body are pierced from the intervertebral foramen of the spine and throughout the body, regulating the normal physiological activities of the body. When the pelvis and spine are misaligned, the intervertebral foramen, which has a small gap, is first deformed, and the surrounding muscles and ligaments change in tension, resulting in disorders in the three-dimensional movement of the spine (forward flexion, backward tilt, and lateral flexion), further compressing the blood vessels and nerves and blocking the meridians, causing a series of sensorimotor disorders and changes in the physiological functions of the internal organs, resulting in endocrine dysfunction and leading to a variety of diseases. Early headache, dizziness, vision loss, neck stiffness, dreaminess, insomnia, thirst, heartburn, tinnitus, deafness, chest tightness, shortness of breath, scapular pain, lumbar and knee weakness, general weakness, slow reaction, abdominal distension, urinary difficulties, constipation, diarrhea, obesity, emaciation, male impotence, female menstrual disorders, further obstruction of meridians, further aggravation of the condition, gradual decline of physiological functions, accelerating the aging of the human body process, and even cancer. Similarly, when an organ is unhealthy, the abnormalities can be found in the spine, and the root of the disease can be directly removed by taking care of the spine. Misalignment is the misalignment of the bones. As long as there is a slight misalignment between the bone and the bone, it will cause tension and disorder in the surrounding normal soft tissues, and the corresponding limbs will have pain, numbness, cold and other uncomfortable symptoms. Subluxation is the use of techniques to fine-tune the misalignment of bones to achieve a balance between tendons, bones and flesh, thereby relieving and alleviating tension and pain. Introduction to the spine: The spine consists of 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, 5 lumbar vertebrae, 1 sacral vertebrae, and 1 caudal vertebrae (the sacral and caudal vertebrae are made up of 4~5 bones fused into one at birth). Each vertebra is interconnected with the adjacent vertebrae by complex joints, ligaments, and intervertebral discs. The intervertebral discs are like indispensable “sponge cushions” for the spine to cushion pressure, and its secret is actually buried in the center, where there is an extremely elastic gel. This gel, water accounted for 80%, so it is like a jelly can change position and shape with the external pressure. In order to keep the “jelly” from sliding around, it is surrounded by a thick layer of fibers, and the ring of fibers is like a barrel hoop that firmly locks the “jelly” in the innermost layer – because once the “jelly” slips out of the ring of fibers, it will compress the spinal cord nerves that pass through the center of the vertebrae, producing various painful symptoms, which is a common type of “disc herniation”. Other small joints and ligaments between the vertebrae are also likely to be damaged in various ways during our daily actions. Don’t think that these are just tiny details that are not surprising, but in fact every single detail can damage the spine as a whole and even affect the health of the whole body. For example, if a cervical vertebra is misaligned, it is very likely to compress the spinal nerve connected to it, leading to the dysfunction of the organs below it, because the spinal nerve through the neck often leads to all parts of the body, so the whole body will be involved in the function, paraplegia is the most typical example; when a lumbar disc is herniated, it may lead to changes in the physiological curvature of the entire spine located above it, and then compress the spinal nerve in the spinal canal This not only causes severe pain, but also affects the function of the organs. Our head, neck, and shoulders, like branches of a tree, are inseparable from the main trunk of the spine. Strictly speaking, the head can even be considered an extension of the spine, because the head and spine have been connected and growing together since we were embryos. Therefore, the posture of the spine directly affects the head, and the movement of the head directly affects the spine and the function of the whole body. If you have improper posture, such as the habit of leaning your head forward, chin too far inward, shoulders shrugged, etc., will cause tension and stiffness in the neck muscles, in the long run, not only the shoulders will feel pain, numbness, the whole back will even feel discomfort, and even a decline in general health. What about the pelvis? If the pelvis is too far back, too far forward, or if the pelvis is too high and too low on both sides, it will lead to the phenomenon of long and short legs, which in turn will cause scoliosis, compression of the spinal cord, and ultimately reduce the function of the organs connected to the spinal nerve.
