Can nerve system disorders or impairments cause tissues and organs to malfunction?
If you cut a nerve to the muscle the muscle will die, with absolute certainty. If you put some pressure on the nerve to the spleen, it has been shown to cut normal function. So the answer is YES. Now the question is: do chiropractors have a role in this phenomenon by removing the subluxation? That is what needs more investigation. We are not sure. Q. Why do you have to keep going back to a chiropractor? Guidelines on frequency and duration of care vary for conditions of differing nature and chronicity. Where people seek to elevate their current experience of health, or to promote feeling good in the absence of symptoms, it is possible for chiropractors to detect spinal problems at a sub-clinical level. This may take the form of a regular check up at a monthly frequency, for example. There is only preliminary evidence that this has any merit, but very few have even questioned it within medical science. Q. But if there is nothing wrong with me, what would be done on a monthly check up? T
