The Big Picture The figure at left shows a side view of a subluxation complex in the lower back. The circled red area shows an irritated portion of a nerve root exiting from between the subluxated vertebrae. These nerves need to be free from irritation and impingement to conduct nerve impulses properly. Chiropractic care can reduce the nerve pressure and its serious effects.
The figure on the right is a back view of a spine and sacrum. The cervical area or neck is at the top. In the chart below, C stands for cervical, T stands for thoracic and L stands for lumbar. This chart clearly shows what chiropractors and their patients have experienced over the years: Chiropractic is not just for back pain!
