The Spine
Although this may seem like an extreme example, it clearly illustrates the potential that chiropractic has in healing. On the surface it may seem that chiropractic is limited to helping the spine, muscles and joints, this however is not the full reality. It must be remembered that the spine's function is to provide protection to the spinal cord (a direct extension of the brain), while allowing for extremely versatile bending and ranges of motion of the trunk. It is really quite remarkable to think of the ability that this extension of the brain (the spine and spinal cord) has during bodily motion. If you've ever seen a professional gymnast perform, you can see that the degree of flexibility of the vertebra and spinal cord can be extensive.
