The Pain and Dis-Ease Connection
There
are 24 vertebrae,
31 pairs of nerves, 40 muscles, connecting tendons and
ligaments running from the base of the skull to the tailbone.
The spinal column also protects the spinal cord, the main pathway for the
central nervous system, the electrical pathway controlling and coordinating all the systems and organs of the body. When muscles shrink
and/or spasm, nerve
irritation
and pain may occur
resulting in neurological malfunction and ultimately organ systems
dis-ease.
