“When I first came to see Dr. Ellwanger I was extremely skeptical. How could a chiropractor help me? I have severe scoliosis in my lower back and my other doctors told me that I needed to have rods put in my spine to keep it from getting worse, and to keep me out of pain. I wanted to avoid surgery as long as possible. Dr. Ellwanger explained and demonstrated how the pain in my low back could be due to misalignments in my neck. I never would have thought that there could be that much connection between my neck and my low back pain, but I figured ‘what do I have to lose?’ After a few adjustments my low back pain was much improved. I am now holding my adjustments for months at a time. I am thrilled to be out of pain! My family is happier too! I am truly amazed that my doctors didn’t know about this type of chiropractic, but I believe that I have found a miracle. Thank you Dr. Ellwanger!”
The Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC) is a chiropractic scientific model depicting a spinal condition with numerous components (see a more in-depth description of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex for more info). One of the components is called neuropathophysiology which describes how the Vertebral Subluxation Complex produces interference to normal function of the nerve system.
The chart below illustrates which organ systems can be affected by a subluxation at a given spinal level. Please note, the exact spinal levels may not exactly match the symptoms – the nerve system is incredibly complicated and this chart is a basic illustration. For more information, please ask your Chiropractor.
