Are you aware that our nervous system is essentially the master of our entire body? We live our life through the nervous system, so, simply put: a better nervous system means a better life. Our nervous system effects everything from our ability to digest food, enjoy a sunny day, or be delighted by a child’s laughter. Our nervous system is what allows us to experience life at a greater level. However, if your nervous system is compromised, it will affect your ability to live life to the fullest.

It’s a feeling we’ve all experienced before, so you go bed early and hope that a good night’s sleep will help your body knock out whatever bug you’ve got this time, But, when you wake up in the morning, you are as sick as a dog. Illnesses come on suddenly and without much warning, disrupting our daily lives, routines, and body.

As much as we love our hobbies, they can often cause unwanted back pain. Whether you’re swinging golf clubs or weeding the garden, popular sports and activities can take a toll on our backs. Even day-to-day activities, like lifting heavy groceries or carrying a large load of laundry can be the cause of back pain.
Every year, millions of people suffer from back pain. Although most is acute or short term and lasts no longer than a few days or weeks, some types of back pain can be chronic, lasting longer than three months.
