At optimal health, the body should work like its own pharmacy, healing and maintaining wellness. Daily life, however, inflicts a range of stresses on the body. Stresses keep the body and its immune system from functioning at in top form.

Stresses on our bodies take many forms: physical, emotional, and chemical. Physical stresses include vehicle accidents, sport, or work-related injuries, and chemical stresses come in the form of harmful additives in our food, chemicals in pollution, or chemicals used in the objects in our environment. Emotional stresses often take the largest toll on our bodies. Although we cannot see them, emotional stresses do have names: anxiety, sadness or depression, nervousness, worry, and fear.

When put under any type of stress, the body cannot function properly. An injury or the strain of tense muscles due to an emotional stress can cause the vertebrae of the spine to lose proper alignment. This is called a subluxation of the spine. A misaligned spine pinches nerves and cuts off circulation. Pinched nerves impair the brain's ability to communicate with the rest of the body, and inhibited circulation hinders the immune system's ability to heal.
