Look to the spine for the cause of disease

The nerve supply from the spinal vertebrae listed below shows the areas and parts of the body they may affect. Very few conditions are wholly under the control of one nerve. Pressure on a nerve can come from various sources, including:

• Injuries

• Tight muscles

• Scar tissue

• Subluxations

• Other causes

Emotions also have a strong influence on the spine, as they tighten muscles along the spinal column. The spine and its nerves are an engineering marvel! -From Dwight C. Byers IIR.

Cervical Nerves

Cervical nerves start at the neck:

• 1st and 2nd nerves: These come from the 1st cervical vertebra and go to the head, pituitary gland, scalp, brain, and ears. Conditions associated with pressure on this nerve can include:

  • Head colds

  • Headaches

  • Amnesia

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Dizziness

  • Muscle tension
