Tension, Stress and Your Spine by Dr. Anthony Surrusco

Did You....know that poor posture and spinal misalignment is the link between muscle tension and stress?

Did you know that your nerve system is the remarkable link responsible for communication between your mind and body? In fact, nerve fibers flow into every cell, tissue, and organ of your body, and have direct links to your immune system! That's why keeping your spinal cord and nervous system healthy is essential if you want to be healthy and live life to its fullest!

As early as 1993, scientists uncovered evidence of an anatomical connection between the nerve and immune system and stress levels. Subsequently, they discovered that if these nerves were removed from the spleen or lymph nodes: "You virtually stopped the immune responses in their tracks."

These same nerves are not only linked to your immune system, but are the suppliers of communication to all of your body's muscles and vital organs. When vertebrae are misaligned, they can cause compression, stretching, and pinching on these nerves, resulting in STRESS, altered organ function, nerve damage, 'dis-ease' and sickness.

Research is proving that spinal nerves are much more susceptible to STRESS than previously thought. A University of Colorado study concluded that only 5-10mm of mercury pressure (about the weight of a dime) can significantly reduce nerve transmission, while the stretching of a nerve by as little as 6% can decrease its strength by up to 70%.

The vital connection between your health and vitality and the health of your spine can no longer be ignored! Subluxations are silent killers that can compromise your immune system, organ function, central nervous system and your overall health. Left unchecked, subluxations diminish your quality of life and can:
Make you feel old before your time
Range of Motion
Cause acute and chronic pain
Cause loss of energy and fatigue
Reduce ability to cope with stress
Cause bone deformation, scar tissue, and disc decay
Cause degeneration of cartilage and bone
Cause loss of height with age
Diminish athletic performance
Lead to physical and mental disability
Cause chronic MUSCLE TENSION and tightness
Cause MUSCLE WEAKNESS and imbalances


Increase possibility of chronic injury and poor recovery from exercise
Cause STRESS and contribute to the ongoing feelings of STRESS, overwhelm and fatigue
Millions of people are seeking out and participating in Chiropractic care to help limit the damaging effects of muscle tension and stress.
Chiropractic care is the logical, practical choice for people who want to live active lives now and throughout their lifetime.
