Four Home Tests for Nerve Interference

By: Dr. Alan Rosenthal

To enjoy optimum physical and emotional health and wellness, our bodies have to be working properly. They need to have good nutrition, enough exercise and a nerve supply that can relay impulses from the brain to every organ and cell (and back again) without interference.

Free Nerve Supply

If anything interferes with this nerve supply, a person can experience a variety of responses including pain, stiffness, specific illnesses, reduced immune response or improper functions of different systems i.e.: digestive or respiratory systems.

Nerve interference comes in many forms, the most problematic is called vertebral subluxation, which are small displacements of the bones in your spine. Nerves branching off the spinal cord from the brain pass through small openings between these bones that flow to the whole body. When the bones are not in a state of vertebral subluxation, the flow of nerve energy is disrupted.

Posture Checks

Here are four ways to see if you or members of your family have vertebral subluxations:

For these tests, you will need to stand in front of a mirror or have a partner examine you. Do not attempt to correct your posture, only examine it. If your spine is out of balance, then you could have vertebral subluxations.

Test 1: Ears – Have your partner stand behind you and draw an imaginary line horizontally through the bottom of your ears. If one ear is lower than the other, your spine is out of balance.

Test 2: Shoulders – Draw an imaginary line horizontally across the top of your shoulders. If one is lower than the other, your spine is out of balance.

Test 3: Hips – Draw an imaginary line horizontally across the top of your hips. If one is lower than the other, your spine is out of balance.

Test 4: Midline – Draw an imaginary line from half way between your feet through the center of your pelvis. Have this line extend straight up through your head. If your head is off to the right or left of this line, your spine is out of balance.

Subluxations can lead to a variety of health conditions that can be relieved through Chiropractic wellness care. If you are interested in starting a life of health and wellness, call our offices today for an examnation.
