The photo below is a graphic illustration of a “pinched nerve” (or actually hundreds of thousands of nerves). The photo illustrates the result of a displacement of the first vertebra in the neck (a subluxation) causing obstruction of the normal flow of intelligent vital mental impulses through the nerves.

The first vertebra of the spine is called the atlas because it holds up the head (brain). The atlas is the most freely moveable vertebra in the spine and also the smallest! Moreover, the atlas is the only vertebra of the spine capable of producing pressure on the spinal cord affecting nerves going to every part of the body! Chiropractic research has proven the atlas to be the vertebra most often impinging on the spinal cord or spinal nerves. Occasionally other areas of the spine can become subluxated and will need to be adjusted also.

Remember – the Law of Innate Intelligence is the preservation of life in the body!

There are many theories on how we become aware of disease and discomfort. An accepted view is that we know that sickness and pain are abnormal and indicative that some part of the body is not doing its proper duty or is affected adversely in some way. For instance, there is no intelligent basis for thinking that a perfectly sound organ will begin to slight its work if it is given the proper nerve energy to do its job and it is not violently injured or abused.

Since Innate in the brain normally takes care of the whole body, and since the Innate is constantly sending over the network of nerves whatever instructions are necessary to do just that, then the organs should be able to do their work under most circumstances. Innate will arm all defenses of the body to repair any dis-eased function in any or all organs!

Here is where the Chiropractic philosophy breaks with the other schools of healing. When the organs are not functioning properly, it has been customary to treat them with drugs which necessarily must be introduced into the stomach and which eventually reach the organs by way of the bloodstream. WHY the perfectly sound organ stops functioning properly is not satisfactorily explained by medical sciences!

Chiropractic philosophy answers this question definitely and answers it with a perfectly logical explanation that the connection between the organs and their controlling nerve centers are impaired. Except for violent accidental injury or some form of intolerable abuse, this is the only possible explanation for an organ to just stop functioning!
