Back Problems Cause What?

Removing misalignments in the mid-back can alleviate a host of medical problems. The central nervous system controls all organs and functions in your body. When there is a misalignment in your spine, the nervous system may become compromised, causing a vertebral subluxation. The areas (organs and functions) of the body affected by the vertebral subluxation may malfunction. Specific symptoms may signal that this malfunction is present. Here are the areas of the body that are controlled by the nerves stemming from between each vertebra in the thoracic (mid back) spine, and the related symptoms that may be experienced due to a vertebral subluxation in that area: Vertebra Areas/Organs Affected Possible Symptoms Indicating Subluxation T1 Arms (elbows down) hands, wrists, fingers, esophagus, trachea Pain in lower arms and hands, cough, difficulty breathing, asthma, T2 Heart Heart conditions T3 Lungs, chest, breast, bronchial tubes, pleura Pneumonia, bronchitis, pleurisy, chest congestion T4 Gall bladder Shingles, Gall bladder conditions, jaundice T5 Liver, solar plexus, general circulation Blood pressure problems, liver problems, arthritis, poor circulation T6 Stomach, Heartburn, stomach conditions, indigestion T7 Pancreas, duodenum, Gastritis, ulcers T8 Spleen, Decreased resistance T9 Adrenal and supra-renal glands, Hives, allergies T10 Kidneys, Chronic fatigue, kidney conditions, nephritis T11 Kidneys, ureters,Skin conditions (acne), eczema T12 Small intestines, lymph system, Gas pains, certain types of sterility To keep the areas affected by the mid-back section of the spine healthy, practice good spinal hygiene!
