Over time, your spine and nervous system can deteriorate, not because of age, but because of subluxations or misalignments. Just like the tires on your car wear down unevenly when they are misaligned, the same can happen to your spine. You may have some areas in your spine that look and feel like they are 80 years old while you have other areas that are more like 30 years old.
[ Read Article ]
All of these things have an effect on the way your body functions. Subluxations are caused when your body cannot adapt to what you are eating (high sugar, processed foods), drinking (caffeine, fizzy, alcohol, not enough water), how you are moving (bad posture, lack of exercise, sitting at desk) and what you are thinking (emotional stress, relationship stress, work pressure).
