Chiropractors work on the relationship between the nerves and the spinal column which protects the spinal cord. All organs and cells require information from the nerves to function correctly, and much nerve information is passed through to the spinal cord. The spinal column is composed of 24 immoveable vertebrae, sacrum and coccyx and is designed for flexibility, protection and strength. As long as the vertebrae remain in a normal alignment these functions are fulfilled. However, vertebral misalignments can and do occur. These misalignments can cause interference and impediment to the normal nerve supply and function and be the cause of pain and discomfort.
