Dr. Ben Asks some important questions of interest to Evansville residents - Chiropractor Evansville Dr. Ben Asks...

What controls every cell, tissue and organ of your body?
DNA? Wrong. Immune system? Wrong? Hormones? Wrong. It's your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body. When a chiropractor sees a Evansville patient with say, stomach problems, we want to know why the brain is unable to properly control and regulate the stomach. Which prompts us to examine the nervous system—the focus of chiropractic care.
What happens if you stop chiropractic care when you feel better?
Many Evansville folks recognize that this predisposes you to a relapse. Chiropractors know that muscles and ligaments supporting the spine don't fully heal until after symptoms subside.

Organs Controlled by the Thoracic Nerves

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 subluxation. The areas (organs and functions) of the body affected by the 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 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
