The immune system and nervous system work collectively to fight off disease and repair the body. Dysfunction in the nervous system can be caused by spinal subluxations or bone out of place that impinges on nerves leaving the spinal column. When bones are out of place, they cause inflammation as well as mechanical pressure that impedes the regular nerve flow to all parts of the body. Subluxations cause interference with nerve pathways, and thus able to affect organ systems. “Subluxations are an example of physical nerve stress that affects neuronal control.” The autonomic nervous system is “hardwired into the lymphoid organs such as the spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and bone marrow that produce the body's immune response.” New research is now showing a strong link between certain types of spinal cord injuries and different forms of cancer such as lymphomas and lymphatic leukemias.
