Nervous System Physiology

When the neurological circuits have integrity, your body works as it was designed.

Virtually every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body is controlled and regulated by your nervous system. And while the chemical and electrical nature of this vast network is best left to specialists, here are four key things you should know:

Efferent Communications

Nerve impulses are sent from the brain out to the organs and tissues of your body.

Afferent Communications

Nerve impulses are sent back to the brain to make sure everything is working correctly.

Compressive Lesions

If interference is present, the compromise in integrity and resultant malpositioning of spinal vertebrae may result in the pinching or choking of nerve tissue itself. This physical insult may further result in signals going from or to the affected organ or tissue to be diminished. (i.e., constipation.)

When interference in the  nervous system occurs, target organs and tissues don’t work the way they should and ill-health results.

Facilitative Lesions

If spinal vertebrae chafe or irritate nerve tissue, signals going from or to the affected organ or tissue can be excited. (i.e., diarrhea.)

Even if the resultant malpositioning of the spinal vertebrae results in only chafing or irritation of the associated nerve tissue, signals going from or to the affected organ or tissue may be excited and/or exaggerated. (i.e., diarrhea.)

The nervous system is vulnerable at several levels. Spinal positioning is an excellent indicator of the presence of long-standing interference in the nervous system at the high brain level. That’s why Your Wellness Partners is interested in your spine!
