The brain stem<\/span><\/a> joins the brain to the spinal cord at the top of the neck. It controls all of the body’s automatic functions, such as breathing, blood circulation, digestion, elimination, sexual activity, and posture, which is Body Balance<\/em><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Misaligned head and neck structures around the brain stem create a global postural distortion, called Body Imbalance. This misalignment can negatively affect physical, emotional, and mental performance.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Who would think that neurological interference<\/span><\/a> at the brain stem could be the cause of an illness?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Because, there are no pain sensory fibers inside one’s central nervous system<\/span><\/a> to feel the pressures in the brain stem.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Brain stem compression (Body Imbalance) can restrict or distort the transmission of messages<\/span><\/a> that govern the thousands of functions that keep all parts operational. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If this is not corrected, the long term effect is degeneration of that part of the body serviced by these restricted messages. This causes mild to severe pain, lowered resistance to illness, organ dysfunction, loss of mobility in the limbs, and ultimately a serious disease.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
