Caring for your spine is an essential part of being healthy. Since your nervous system controls all of your body's functions, interference that is created when your spine is improperly aligned can have a negative impact on the way your body works. A car that is out of alignment is hard to steer and creates excessive tire wear. Improper spinal alignment can prevent you from functioning properly and can result in joint damage, tight and sore muscles, loss of mobility, and pain.
