Your spine protects your nervous system, which acts as the master control communication highway for your entire body. When a spinal joint loses its proper alignment or mobility—a condition known as a subluxation—it can put stress on those delicate nerves.Here is the catch: only a small fraction of your nervous system is dedicated to transmitting pain signals. The vast majority of it controls function, energy, and organ health. This means a silent subluxation can be actively draining your body's health and vitality long before it ever triggers a single symptom.Much like hypertension (high blood pressure) or a developing tooth cavity, a spinal issue can do damage in the background without you feeling a thing.
