VERTEBRAL
SUBLUXATION
& NERVE CHART
|
| A Vertebral Subluxation Complex
(VSC, Bio-Mechanical Lesion) has numerous components, i.e., osseous
(bone), neurological (nerve), connective tissue (muscles, ligaments, and
discs), lymphatic, circulatory, biomechanical alterations (curvatures,
etc.) and somato-visceral (tissue, organs, etc.), which may cause
irritation and/or compression of nerve roots and affect these
components.* The nervous system controls and coordinates all organs
and structures of the human body. Many nerves come from the spinal
cord, pass through the foramina (holes) formed by notches of 24 vertebrae
in the movable spinal column, and innervate or supply specific areas and
parts of the body.** Whenever specific areas or parts of the body
are malfunctioning, generalized and/or specific symptoms are possible.*** |

Note: Neurological innervations of the spinal nerves of the human body
overlap in its supply to different areas and parts of the body as well as
differ somewhat in different persons. This chart is a simplification
of actual innervations. It has been designed for ease of layman's
understanding and general edification and is not meant and should not be
construed as anatomically accurate in its specific sense.

Note: The possible symptoms listed on this
chart are not meant and should not be construed to mean that all these
possible symptoms are produced whenever there is a vertebral subluxation complex at a specific
vertebral level or that chiropractic care will correct
all of these conditions.
