Pain is an alarm that something is not right in our body.  Our brain is the area that sends pain through the nerves.  

How does this happen?

If you body is not functioning correctly, it will lose its ability to move properly first (tightness/stiffness).  Then maybe a twinge may happen and you ignore it.  Eventually the brain will shut down the area by either not allowing it to move at all or sending off pain. 

Small and large muscles on your spine and extremities send signals to your brain.  If the brain perceives them not working properly it will go into emergency mode and switch these areas off for protection.  The muscles tell the brain what your spine is doing.  If these areas are not working correctly you will have a communication issue between the brain and the body.

This is why chiropractic is so essential.  We make sure the body is moving properly and the brain will then listen and send proper signals to the rest of your body.
