Your Nervous System

The nervous system is the control system of the body. It controls our thinking, movement, healing, feeling, learning, digestion, function and how we relate to the environment and the people around us. Our entire life is regulated by the nervous system.
The body is made up of three systems:
The PASSIVE System	including bones, joints, connective tissue, tendons & ligaments provides structure and support but does nothing on its own.
The ACTIVE System	including muscles, the digestive system, the heart & circulation, the immune system, lungs, kidneys and glands does all the work, but nothing on its own.
The CONTROL System	is the nervous system the brain and nerves including emotions, memories & thoughts. The nervous system sends messages to the active system to instruct it on how and what to do to keep you alive and well. This in turn affects your passive system.
Your nervous system is responsible for the proper function of your body.
How healthy we are depends on how healthy our nervous system is. In both adults and children stress can affect how well our nervous system is working. The true role of the Chiropractor is to care for your nervous system, to improve its function and your health. Caring for your nervous system is an essential part of living a happy, healthy life.



WHEN NERVES AIN'T HAPPY AIN'T NO BODY HAPPY. Wiggle a finger. Wiggle a foot. Now take a deep breath. And let it out. How’d all that take place? The nerve! It’s a fact of life. The nerve system runs the body. The most classic of all anatomy books, “Grays Anatomy,” says the nerve system is the master system, directing all the other systems in action. When the nerve system isn’t working right the body isn’t working right either. Simple as that! And what would cause the nerve system not to work right? Interference! You don’t have to attain a college education to have a nerve system that knows what to do. You were created with a system that knows all there is to know about life. God made you that way. Okay, you say. Everyone knows this. Now what? When was the last time someone checked your nerve system? And just who would that nerve system checker be? It wouldn’t be a cardiologist. That’s the heart or circulatory system. It wouldn’t be a gynecologist. That’s the reproductive system. Not a gastroenterologist, ophthalmologist, or urologist. They check other systems. It wouldn’t be the orthopedist. That’s the bone and joint checker. It could be a neurologist, but usually that’s only after the unhappy nerves have been unhappy so long that symptoms are showing up elsewhere, further down the road to sickness and disease. So who is the nerve doctor? See your neighbourhood chiropractor! Chiropractic is the philosophy, science and art of healing, which deals with unhappy nerves. The chiropractor looks to discover any interference in your nerve system that may lead to unhappy nerves. Because an unhappy nerve system can cause problems in any of the other systems it serves ?? circulatory, digestive, reproductive, respiratory, even the immune system. Makes the chiropractors job a rather important one, don’t you think? “When a person understands just what chiropractic is and what a chiropractor does, most likely, he or she will try chiropractic. It makes sense to correct the cause of the unhappiness or lack of ease in the body instead of doctoring or drugging the effects...” Reference: An excerpt by Will Tickel from an article written for The Chiropractic Journal
