Physical forces, like car accidents, sports injuries, falls, and repetitive traumas at work such as typing, sitting improperly, and lifting improperly can cause damage to the spine. Therefore, it is important to go and see a chiropractor if you were involved in any of these injuries. The birthing process also causes major stress on an infant's spine so it is also important to get your baby checked.

Many chemicals that we eat or inhale everyday are very harmful to our health. Food additives, food colors, car fumes, and wet paint fumes are but a few examples. These change the balance of the body and ultimately affect our Nervous System.

Emotional stress is the hallmark of our society today. Researchers suggest that many of our health problems are a direct result of it. Researchers have also established a very close link between stress and our Nervous System. Besides the direct effect on the Nervous System, emotional stress affects our muscle tone and ultimately the spine.
